TREE NEWS update: China’s securities regulator on October 9 released draft rules for public securities investment fund operations that would lower the launch threshold for equity funds and funds of funds to 50 million yuan and 50 million units, down from 200 million yuan and 200 million units. The threshold for fixed-income funds would remain unchanged.
China’s CSRC Proposes Cutting Equity Fund Launch Threshold to 50 Million Yuan
The threshold cut is aimed squarely at small, first-time fund managers, who currently need a far larger commitment just to bring an equity product to market. By leaving fixed-income thresholds untouched, the CSRC is signalling that it wants more equity risk-taking and more domestic capital flowing into stocks, not more bond-fund supply. Whether the lower bar actually produces a wave of new launches, or just more marginal products that struggle to gather assets after listing, is the open question.
