Shanghai Stock Exchange — The claim that the SSE is 'Asia's biggest stock exchange' is factually incorrect; it is not consistently the largest in Asia.
Shanghai Stock Exchange — The claim that the SSE is 'a non-profit organization directly administered by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC)' is inaccurate; it is a self-regulatory organization and membership institution under CSRC oversight, not directly administered.
Tokyo Stock Exchange — The entry states the TSE was shut down on August 1, 1945, but the correct date is August 10, 1945.
Tokyo Stock Exchange — The entry claims the TSE accounted for over 60% of the world's stock market capitalization in 1990, but the peak was in 1989, not 1990.
Share (finance) — Shares outstanding are authorized and issued shares held by investors, not necessarily 'authorized by the government'—authorization is typically by the company's board and shareholders.
Share (finance) — In India, the dividend distribution tax (DDT) was abolished in 2020-21; dividends are now taxed in the hands of shareholders, not at a 12.5% DDT rate.
Shareholder activism — The entry states 'record half-year campaigns=184 new activist campaigns in H1 2026' and repeats this in the DID YOU KNOW section. As of the current date (2025), H1 2026 has not occurred, so this cannot be a factual record.

Swap (finance) — The claim that swaps first became public in 1981 with IBM and the World Bank is inaccurate because earlier interest rate swaps existed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the IBM-World Bank deal was a currency swap, not the first swap overall.
Swap (finance) — The entry states 'As of June 2025, the Bank for International Settlements had estimates...' which is a factual error because the current date is before June 2025, so such data cannot exist yet; the most recent BIS data would be from 2024 or earlier.
The Vanguard Group — The entry states Vanguard is the second-largest provider of ETFs globally, but as of widely-known canon, Vanguard is typically the second-largest ETF provider in the U.S., while globally it is sometimes ranked third behind BlackRock and State Street (or iShare
The Vanguard Group — The entry says the First Index Investment Trust raised $11 million in its IPO, far below the expected $150 million. The widely-known canon states the expected amount was $150 million, but the actual amount raised was $11.3 million, not exactly $11 million.
