On August 5, the reporter learned from a channel source that some wholly foreign-owned public fund companies are preparing to qualify for investment pilots. Currently, they are still in the early stages of filing materials, and there is no clear schedule. In June, at the 2026 Lujiazui Forum, Chairman Wu Qing of the Securities Regulatory Commission stated that he supports the establishment of wholly-owned or joint venture securities fund futures institutions in Huaxin, and encourages foreign-funded licensed institutions to participate in pilot fund investment business expansion, etc. Some foreign investors told reporters that compared to mature overseas markets where wealth management is deeply embedded in professional investment systems, the domestic asset management industry is still in the “product sales” oriented stage, and real investment services are still in the early stages. He stressed that only by promoting the investment role from “selling products” to carrying out full-life cycle planning based on an “account perspective” can we substantially optimize investors' foundation holding experience, and that foreign-funded institutions may be able to bring richer investment management experience to the domestic investment market.
