A former Goldman Sachs client adviser has been banned from re-entering the Hong Kong securities industry for two years after she admitted making unauthorised trades on behalf of a client, the market regulator said on Thursday.

Ronnie Wong, who left Goldman last year, bought so-called accumulators for a client without approval in November 2007, said the Securities and Futures Commission. The transaction had a total exposure of HK$13.8m ($1.8m), said the regulator.
