Why are people in securities companies not allowed to trade stocks?

China's Securities Law clearly stipulates that employees of securities companies are prohibited from buying and selling stocks, because employees of securities companies may have conflicts of interest with their own business when buying and selling securities, and may also be exposed to some information that affects the price of securities in advance. In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors, they are prohibited from buying and selling stocks.

According to the provisions of Article 43 of the Securities Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), employees of stock exchanges, securities companies, securities registration and settlement institutions, staff of securities supervision and administration institutions and other personnel who are prohibited from participating in stock trading by laws and administrative regulations shall not hold or buy or sell stocks directly or in the name of another person, or accept stocks donated by others during their term of office or within the statutory time limit. When becoming a person listed in the preceding paragraph, the shares already held by him must be transferred according to law.
