Dhaka, Apr 11 (bdnews24.com) — The stocks probe committee has listed the names of 50 brokerage houses, who sold the highest amount of shares between October last year and January this year.

The committee, headed by Khondker Ibrahim Khaled, has drawn up the list based on the data collected from the surveillance software of the market regulator, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

However, the brokerage houses listed in the report seem to have been picked up on the basis of their turnovers, and find a mention in the report under the category of “Top 50 Sellers”.

The probe body found the omnibus account of the Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB) Securities Trading to have had the highest number of transactions, with the total turnover of Tk 9.43 billion.

BRAC EPL Stock Brokerage Limited followed the suit, with BRAC Bank Limited trading shares worth Tk 6.8 billion through this house. ICB Securities Trading Company Limited also recorded the third and fourth largest turnovers. Similarly, BRAC EPL Stock Brokerage Limited came again at the fifth position.

Individual trader Mohammed Helal Miah traded shares worth Tk 1.8 billion through Hazrat Shah Amanat Securities. Tasmia Amberin traded Tk 1.68-billion shares via Lanka Bangla Securities and Afroza Sharmin’s trading through Mult-Securities and Services Limited stood at Tk 1.67 billion.
