3月30日（路透社）——据英国《金融时报》周一援引三位知情人士的话报道，在美国对伊朗发动军事打击前几周，美国国防部长皮特·赫格西特的经纪人曾试图大举投资大型国防企业。
报道补充称，赫格西特在摩根士丹利（MS.N）的经纪人于今年2月联系了贝莱德（BLK.N），计划投资该资管公司的国防工业主动管理交易所交易基金（ETF），这笔交易规模达数百万美元，时机恰在美国对德黑兰发起军事行动前不久。

据《金融时报》报道，这笔由赫格西特经纪人商讨的投资最终未能成行，原因是该基金于去年5月才推出，当时摩根士丹利的客户尚无法购买。
《金融时报》的报道未提及该经纪人代表赫格西特进行投资的权限有多大，也未说明赫格西特是否知晓经纪人的这一操作。
贝莱德拒绝就此报道置评，摩根士丹利和美国国防部未立即回应路透社的置评请求。
这起投资尝试的报道发布之际，正值美国各界对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普重大政策决策前金融和预测市场内的交易行为展开更广泛审查。

March 30 (Reuters) – A broker for U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth attempted to a big investment in major defense companies in the weeks leading up to the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing three people familiar with the matter.
Hegseth’s broker at Morgan Stanley (MS.N) contacted BlackRock (BLK.N) in February, about making a multimillion-dollar investment in the asset manager’s Defense Industrials Active ETF, shortly before the U.S. launched military action against Tehran, the report added.

According to the FT report, the investment discussed by Hegseth’s broker did not ultimately go ahead as the fund, which launched in May last year, was not yet available for Morgan Stanley clients to buy.
The FT report did not say how much discretion the broker had to make investments on Hegseth’s behalf, or whether Hegseth knew what the broker was doing.
BlackRock declined to comment on the report, while Morgan Stanley and the Department of Defense did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
The report on the investment attempt comes amid a wider scrutiny of trades made in financial and prediction markets ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s major policy decisions.

Some of these decisions have been preceded by well-timed bets, leading some experts to raise questions about whether information had somehow leaked ahead of time.
