SCIO briefing on the reform and development of the capital market

china.org.cn / chinagate.cn by, February 28, 2017 Adjust font size:

China Securities Journal:

Just now, Mr. Liu mentioned that the capital market should serve the real economy. We all know that the securities and the fund industries have made significant progress. The CSRC also vows to set up a national team which can represent China’s capital market. My question is: how will the CSRC make efforts to improve the capability and competitiveness of the securities and the fund industries, in order to serve China’s real economy. Thanks.

Liu Shiyu:

I’d like to invite Mr. Li to answer this question.

Li Chao:

Thank you for your question. By the end of 2016, China has 129 security companies with total assets of 5.8 trillion yuan (US$843.48 billion). The net assets have reached 1.6 trillion yuan (US$232.65 billion), buyout capital reached 1.47 trillion yuan (US$213.74 billion), and net profits have reached 123.4 billion yuan (US$17.94 billion). There are 109 fund companies with total assets of over 170 billion yuan (US$24.71 billion) and net assets of 110 billion yuan (US$15.99 billion). The assets managed by the securities and the fund industries reached 43 trillion yuan (US$6.25 trillion), among which publicly offered funds surpassed 9 trillion yuan (US$1.3 trillion), while private placement reached over 30 trillion yuan (US$4.36 trillion). Generally speaking, the securities and the fund industries enjoy abundant capital, and their capability and level of risk prevention and asset management have improved a lot.

In 2016, securities companies have provided professional services for a total of 7.5 trillion yuan (US$1.09 trillion) of stock, stock rights, bond and other financing. Currently, there are nearly 200 million publicly offered fund holders, more than 85 percent of them hold assets less than 50,000 yuan (US$7271.03). In terms of rate of return, since the open publicly offered fund was released in 2001, the rate of return for stock-leaning funds had reached 16 percent, while that of bond funds had reached over 8 percent, which provided 1.5 trillion yuan (US$218.13 billion) profit for fund holders. Actually, all the data above are average numbers, reminding us to avoid short-term runs. In this area, fund holders can learn experience from social security funds in terms of investment philosophy and asset allocation.

In addition, securities and fund organizations serve the Belt & Road Initiative and support countries along the route to issue Renminbi bonds. Meanwhile, the industry also serves the government’s strategy of poverty alleviation. Currently, more than 80 securities organizations are providing their help to over 130 national-level poverty-stricken counties.

The abnormal fluctuation in the stock market in 2015 set off an alarm bell for both the entire industry and the supervision department. It made us rethink the deficiencies existing in supervision mechanism and philosophy.

From 2016, the CSRC has insisted on overall strictly supervising according to law, and has made efforts to improve the supervision system. We will reinforce law enforcement efforts and strictly deal with those unlawful acts. In 2016, we carried out over 200 administrative supervision measures, not including administrative penalties, which involved dozens of the securities and the fund supervision organizations and related administrative officers and employees.

Next, we will stick to the overall position of CPC Central Committee and State Council, to hold the right supervision philosophy, so as to avoid systematic financial risk.
