  • Issuance Overpricing of China's Corporate Debt Securities
    Internet Appendix for “Issuance Overpricing of China’s Corporate Debt Securities” Yi Ding Wei Xiong Jinfan Zhang In this Internet Appendix, we report the following figures, tables, and additional analyses omitted from the main paper. Fig. A1 depicts debt security issuance across the interbank market and the exchange market from 2009 to 2019. In Table A1, we list the 68 licensed underwriters in the interbank market at the end of 2019. Information on underwriters is obtained from NAFMII. In Table A2, we summarize overpricing for CP and MTNs separately for both before and after the rebate ban period. Although the magnitude declined after the ban for both CP and MTNs, overpricing remains statistically significantly. Taken together, we find significant overpricing in all these issuance categories. In Table A3, we report summary statistics of issuance overpricing by using excess returns of the first secondary-market trading day as the overpricing measure. The table shows that the overpricing is robust across time, debt securities, and issuers with different characteristics, consistent with Table 3 in the main paper. In Tables A4 and A5, we conduct difference-in-difference analyses to examine how the underwriter rebate ban affects the excess return across different issuers and across different underwriters. Consistent with results in Tables 5 and 6 of the main paper from using the yield-spread measure, these tables show that after the ban, the drop in overpricing is significantly greater for securities issued by central SOEs than for those issued by other firms, and the drop in overpricing is significantly smaller for issuances underwritten by the Big Four banks.

  • The Current Pilot Details
    On April 10, CSRC and SFC both announced the launch of what has been dubbed “Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect”, a pilot program that aims to establish mutual stock market access between the Mainland and Hong Kong. As a form of hybrid cross-border program that combines the long-awaited QDII2 and essentially a QFII2 scheme, the implications will be wide-reaching for eligible investors on both sides of the border. Brokerage opportunities for those able to execute trades into and out of the Mainland will be particularly significant – Z-Ben Advisors urges such potentially-eligible participants to consider their strategic positioning now, in advance of the launch (expected in October).
