Recent Market Development
The most significant transformation of the Chinese stock market
was the reform program of state-owned shares which began in
mid 2005;
Record number of retail investors flocked to open security
trading accounts, providing fresh capital which lifted the Chinese
equity market to record high;
Fear of market bubble led many institutional investors to reduce
equity exposure in recent weeks.

QFII Update
The Chinese government introduced the QFII (Qualified Foreign
Institutional Investors) program in 2003 in order to allow foreign
capital to invest in the Chinese market in an orderly and controlled
manner;
So far, there were 52 approved foreign institutions to use the QFIIquota to invest in China with an approved amount of USD 10
billion;
The government recently indicated that the total QFII quota will be
increased to USD 30 billion.

QDII Update
QDII (Qualified Domestic Institutional Investors) program was
launched by selected banks, insurance companies and fund
management companies with government approval;
The program allows Chinese investors to invest in offshore
markets, with Hong Kong as the current focus; Investor interest to invest in US or other international markets is
modest at this stage due to the hot local equity market and the
concern about the appreciating RMB;
Overtime, we expect that Chinese investors will be moreinterested in QDII products as experience in Hong Kong and
Taiwan will demonstrate.
