China fashion retailer Shein files for Hong Kong IPO to save London listing: FT

China-founded fast-fashion retailer Shein has filed for an initial public offering in Hong Kong to speed up the prolonged listing process and push the UK regulator to approve a London listing, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

Reuters reported in June that Shein was planning to file a draft prospectus confidentially for its Hong Kong listing, marking a rare departure from the usual practice of companies making public filings of IPO documents, citing three sources with knowledge of the matter said.
