SHANGHAI, Feb 20 (Reuters) - China's Shenzhen stock exchange said on Monday it was temporarily restricting trading by hedge fund manager Lingjun Investment as a penalty for what it said was "abnormal trading".
The fund's program-generated order to sell stocks in early trade on Monday coincided with a quick decline in the Shenzhen market, the bourse said in a statement.
