Shanghai Stock Exchange: Will take about 5 years to cultivate a team of institutional investors who are conscious of practicing rational investment, value investment, and long-term investment concepts.

Recently, the Shanghai Stock Exchange held the first institutional investor service event of 2025. Yuan Duoran, a member of the Party Committee of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, stated during the event that the Shanghai Stock Exchange will take about 5 years to build a comprehensive, systematic, and branded institutional investor service system, nurturing a team of institutional investors who are conscious of practicing rational, value-based, and long-term investment concepts. This team aims to better serve the vast number of small and medium investors, and create a market ecology that accelerates the construction of a world-class exchange. The event, which took place in Nanjing from January 9th to 10th, focused on promoting the "three investment" concept to facilitate high-quality development. Through thematic presentations, industry sharing, and visits to listed companies, efforts were made to promote investment reform, attract medium to long-term funds into the market, guide institutional investors in practicing rational, value-based, and long-term investment, and promote the high-quality development of the capital market. Tugu Bin, a member of the Party Committee and Deputy Director of the Jiangsu Securities Regulatory Bureau, emphasized the importance of instilling the "three investment" concept in investors to boost the capital market, achieve sustainable development, and promote high-quality development. He highlighted the success of Jiangsu's capital market in achieving high-quality development, leading in the number of initial public offerings and direct financing scale nationwide, and promoting technology innovation and mergers and acquisitions among listed companies. The series of activities also aimed to strengthen top-level design, leverage regional equity market functions, enhance departmental coordination, and diversify investment channels. In the future, the Shanghai Stock Exchange will continue to implement the decisions of the Party's Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee and the Central Financial Work Conference to enhance the coordination of investment and financing in the capital market, support medium to long-term fund entry, accelerate investment reform, instill the "three investment" concept, nurture top-tier investment banks and investment institutions, implement new regulatory requirements for securities fund institutions, and promote the industry's return to its origins and strengthen long-term investment capabilities. Various activities will be conducted nationwide to provide institutional investor services, including specialized training and public speaking events. The event was co-organized by the Shanghai Association of Asset Management, Huatai, Nanjing, Soochow, East China Securities, and Guolian, with the participation of nearly 300 institutional investors from the banking, securities, fund, insurance, trust, and asset management industries in Jiangsu Province.
