CITIC Securities has confirmed that it cannot contact its top two investment bankers, Chen Jun and Yan Jianlin, after it was reported that both might be under investigation, following the rout on China's stock market over the summer. News magazine, Caixin, reported the pair were taken away by authorities on Friday, making them the latest executives to go missing from CITIC as the Chinese authorities deepen their investigation. The news comes just days before a major meeting of world leaders in China is due to take place at which President Xi Jinping will seek support for his ambitious economic reform plans.
