The new short selling regime: FSA publishes list of disclosed short positions

The EU short selling regime came into force on 1 November 2012, as we discussed in this post.

The Financial Services Authority has now published the first list of short positions disclosed to it under the new regime. The list can be downloaded here (box at bottom right of page).

The largest short position is Greenlight Capital’s 4.37% short in Daily Mail & General Trust plc.
