Milford Asset Management has confirmed that it is working with the Financial Markets Authority in respect of a market investigation.
It says, in a statement, that the investigation concerns an individual trader employed by the firm and certain specific trades.
Milford and the trader concerned are co-operating fully with the FMA, the company says.
The statement goes on to say: "The investigation does not have any implications for client funds and has no impact on the day-to-day operations of Milford."
"Milford looks forward to completion of the investigation."
It is believed that the trades in question were conducted about a year ago. They came to the FMA's attention from the NZX.
Milford Asset Management executive director Brian Gaynor said he could not comment because of a confidentiality agreement with the FMA.
