Before the license was approved, Schroeder had made great efforts to recruit talents. In February 2022, an yun, former deputy general manager of Changxin Fund, joined Schroeder as the chief investment officer of the wholly-owned public offering business in preparation. In recent years, the exchange with domestic and foreign capital tends to be frequent, but the flow at the level of deputy general manager is relatively small.

On June 6, 2023, an yun published a research opinion that the optimization of epidemic prevention policy exceeded expectations and may bring strong positive effects to the economic recovery in 2023. The main goal of the government in the next six months or longer is to revive the economy, and there may be corresponding policy measures and implementation means in the future. On the one hand, the focus of the policy is domestic demand, on the other hand, industrial upgrading. Three years after the outbreak, residents have accumulated huge excess savings. When the time is ripe, consumers' risk appetite will pick up, and consumption and service demand are expected to pick up gradually.

Accelerate the opening of asset management industry.

Since June 2022 165438+ 10, the opening of China's asset management industry has been further accelerated, and major events have continued.

Together with BlackRock Fund, which was opened in June, 20021,since the CSRC lifted the restrictions on the proportion of foreign shares held by securities companies and fund management companies in April, 2020, there are currently five fund companies in China that have publicly raised foreign capital 100%.

What is the development of the wholly foreign-owned public offering that has been opened? Let's take a look.

In August 2020, BlackRock, the world's largest asset management institution, took the lead in obtaining the first domestic and foreign public offering license. In the past two years, more and more wholly foreign-owned Public Offering of Fund management companies "landed" in China, which opened a great era for Chinese and foreign asset management institutions to compete on the same stage.

In terms of product layout, BlackRock is the fastest among the newly approved foreign fund companies because of its early establishment. As of 65438+1October 65438+March, BlackRock Fund has issued four funds, including BlackRock China New Vision and BlackRock Hong Kong Stock Connect Vision, with product types covering mixed stocks and mixed bonds. In addition, BlackRock's three other funds, including China Securities Interbank Deposit AAA Index, are in the declaration and approval stage.

Wind data shows that as of the end of the third quarter of last year, BlackRock managed a total of 5.474 billion yuan of non-monetary funds, ranking 129 in the industry.

After the capital increase, the registered capital increased from 300 million yuan to 700 million yuan, and the capital increase rate was as high as 133%.

In addition to these established funds, there are many wholly foreign-owned public offering funds in preparation.

For example, Morgan Stanley has also submitted more than 5% applications for shareholder change, and the application has also received regulatory feedback, which is only one step away from becoming a wholly foreign-owned fund company.

According to the website of China Securities Regulatory Commission, Lianbo Fund and Fanda Fund have submitted applications for the establishment of Public Offering of Fund management companies, and will join the "army" of wholly foreign-owned fund companies after being approved in the future.
