Reuters03-12

HONG KONG, March 12 (Reuters) - Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission said it launched an investigation with city's anti-corruption agency on insider trading and corruption activities.

The SFC and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on Monday and Tuesday raided two securities firms and a hedge fund, the two authorities said in a joint statement.

Eight individuals at the financial firms were targeted, in a probe tied to share placements, they said.
