MF Global's Asia units winding down

KPMG has been hired to wind down MF Global in Hong Kong and Singapore, and find a buyer for the assets.
The effects of MF Global’s collapse arrived in Asia yesterday as KPMG worked to transfer and close out the failed broker’s positions after being named as provisional liquidators in Hong Kong and Singapore.

The broker filed for bankruptcy protection in the US on Monday after it could no longer afford to post margin on a $6.3 billion bet on European sovereign debt and failed to find a buyer for the business despite frantic attempts, prompting regulators in Asia to suspend the firm’s operations and start winding down the company.
