The Australian Securities & Investments Commission has warned stockbrokers that it will clamp down on favourable treatment of certain investors when it comes to allocating shares via IPOs. Cathie Armour of ASIC says it is important that brokers keep the needs of the issuer client in mind when allocating shares. She also says ASIC is concerned about listing standards, particularly with regard to overseas companies that seem to have little business interest in Australia that seek to list on the local bourse.

Guvera CEO Darren Herft says the streaming music provider intends to proceed with its proposed IPO. The Australian Securities & Investments Commission has subjected the group’s prospectus to increased scrutiny, but Herft says Guvera is co-operating with ASIC to address its concerns. However, Guvera’s former commercial officer Michael Wallis-Brown disputes the number of active users that is claimed in the prospectus, and says the IPO should not proceed.
