Steadfast has launched an investigation into a workplace complaint against a senior executive, the listed broking giant said today.

The company requested a trading halt this morning, saying the move is “necessary as [it] investigates” the matter.

“Steadfast requests that the trading halt continue until the earlier of a release of a further announcement by Steadfast or commencement of normal trading on Monday,” the market announcement said.

Steadfast shares last traded at $6.20, down 9c or 1.43% from yesterday’s close.

The company is holding its annual general meeting tomorrow at 10am at Sheraton Grand Sydney.
