Securities analysts team bid farewell to rapid expansion, focusing on serving insurance asset management.

According to statistics, as of June 19th, the total number of securities analysts is 5,787, only an increase of 41 people since the beginning of the year, a growth rate far below the same period in previous years. Securities firms with significant changes in the number of analysts this year include Guotai Junan Securities, Guolian Minsheng Securities, and Oriental Fortune Securities, which are focusing on selling research services. Reporters have noted that since the implementation of the reform of public fund trading commissions last year, serving insurance asset management clients has become a new focus area for many research institutes.
