China Liberalizes Rules on Outbound Investment by Qualified Domestic Institutional Investors
On July 5, 2007, a new set of rules came into effect that for the first time allow PRC brokerage houses and fund management companies to use their clients' funds to invest in overseas fixed income, stocks, and financial derivatives such as futures and options. It is estimated that a good number of PRC securities and fund management firms will immediately meet the government-established eligibility requirements, and they will join already qualified PRC banks and insurers in offering these overseas financial investment products.
