Today’s China Top Five: 💡 𝗙𝗲𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝘁𝘀 | 𝗘𝗧𝗙𝘀 Several major fund managers, including China Asset Management Co., Ltd., E Fund Management Co.,LTD. and Huatai-PineBridge Fund Management Co., Ltd. (Formerly AIG-Huatai) announced reductions in management and custodian fees for large-cap ETFs. These changes apply to ETFs tracking key indices like CSI 300, SSE 50, CSI 500, and others, with over RMB1.3tr in AUM. 💡 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 | 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 Citadel Securities CEO Zhao Peng met with Shanghai Party Secretary Chen Jining. The two discussed the prospects of Shanghai as an international financial hub and Citadel Securities reiterated its long-term investment plan to bring its expertise to the onshore market. 💡 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 | 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗜𝗙𝗔𝘀  Regulatory actions against violations in financial live streaming are intensifying, targeting unauthorized stock recommendations and compliance lapses. Recent enforcement includes penalties for Zhongtian Securities and Tonghuashun’s subsidiary for improper practices in live-streamed stock recommendations. 💡 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 | 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘅 Many enhanced index funds have underperformed their benchmarks recently due to rapid market shifts and high volatility. From September 24 to November 18, only 53 of 536 enhanced index funds surpassed their benchmarks. However, over longer periods more than two thirds have achieved positive excess returns. 💡 𝗠𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 | 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘃𝘀. 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 With ETFs bringing in more than RMB1tr this year, the active vs. passive debate is raging onshore. Passive equity assets have surpassed active for the first time, but active funds retain the better long-term annualized returns.   #chinatopfive #zbenadvisors #assetmanagement #mutualfunds #ETFs #china #financialnews

H&P Financial Services Weekly - Hong Kong’s Hang Seng is the Number One Super market of the week, up > 30%, driven by lower rates and new liquidity. We look at intraday volatility in Q3, which was up on Q2, with that major August spike, which should have helped the leveraged trading platforms PLUS, IGG and CMCX. Rising markets will have added some c. 3% to UK wealth management assets last quarter. Brooks Macdonald estimates are still woefully out of date, in our opinion. Premier Miton reveals more of their MPS plans. Man Group presents an entry point, with AHL underperforming for a while. Tavistock flies on a major disposal which will nonetheless benefit acquirer Saltus. Frenkel Topping would not be at this valuation if it had any liquidity. https://lnkd.in/eDVaAAV5

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX)’s strategy to help global clients navigate challenges and opportunities in Hong Kong and Mainland markets Read the full artcle: https://bit.ly/3UqlQiq At Sibos 2024 in Beijing, Tae Seok Clement Yoo, managing director of global client development at HKEX, shared insights into how HKEX Group is addressing the evolving dynamics of China's mainland markets. In a landscape shaped by recent government stimulus measures and technological advancements, Yoo outlined HKEX’s strategies to tackle settlement challenges, attract global investors, and enhance cross-border trading infrastructure. The T+0 settlement cycle in China's mainland markets, primarily the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly for international investors who are accustomed to the longer cycles of T+2 or T+1. This shortened settlement timeline requires efficient clearing and settlement processes, a critical factor for maintaining investor confidence and mitigating counterparty risks in a fast-paced trading environment. Yoo highlighted that one of the key concerns among investors is the ability to meet settlement requirements within a constrained time frame. HKEX has introduced technological solutions to address these concerns, including its Synapse platform, which improves operational efficiency and enhances the clearing process. This platform was launched to support market participants in coping with the operational challenges of T+0, such as pre-trade checks, settlement accuracy, and exception handling within a shorter window of time.

SGX needs “a flush of liquidity”, says Loke Wai San, the chairman of chip-tester AEM Holdings who famously led the company from its low share price of 7 cents to more than $5. As a co-founder of local private equity firm Novo Tellus, Loke helped AEM build up a strong institutional following, including securing Temasek as its single-largest investor with a stake of 12.5%. Loke is also known for launching one of the three spacs, known as blank-cheque listings, on SGX, although the potential of this would be unfulfilled as global market interest began to wane by the time the necessary processes were completed and SGX welcomed the three spacs. While he recognises that launching the spac was a form of risk-taking on his end, he adds that the capital market has to be welcome of risks, especially if investors desire something innovative with high equity.
