TREE NEWS update: China’s securities regulator has published draft amendments to rules governing publicly offered securities investment funds, raising the cap on non-FOF funds’ investment in other funds from 10% to 30% and allowing FOFs to invest in ETF feeder funds. The minimum size for launching a FOF would also drop to RMB 50 million. Regulators framed the changes as broadening strategy space for asset-allocation products.

The move matters less as a headline number than as a signal that Beijing wants asset-allocation products to have more room to operate, which could gradually shift Chinese fund flows toward multi-asset and ETF-of-ETF structures. It affects fund managers and distributors most directly, since the lower launch threshold for FOFs makes it cheaper to bring such products to market. Whether the looser limits translate into actual product launches and inflows, rather than just unused capacity, is the open question to watch.
