Japan’s biggest securities firms blocked customers from buying and selling Chinese equity funds after trading halts left half of mainland shares frozen.

Nomura Holdings Inc.’s asset-management unit suspended redemptions from three funds as of Thursday and said it won’t take orders for two of them. Daiwa Securities Group Inc.’s fund-management arm said it stopped purchases and redemptions on two funds tracking mainland A shares.
