The capped limit for foreign investment in a single stock is 28%. Foreign investors hold 26.26% of Centre Testing International Group's (300012) total share capital through QFII / RQFII / Shenzhen Stock connect, which has also established record high. ⚫ 6 Jan, according to Ministry of Finance, in order to further expand the opening-up of financial market, local government’s financial departments must relax the restrictions of foreign-funded banks, Sino- foreign joint venture banks and foreign bank’s branches to participate in local government bond underwriting. Such participation of foreign banks in local government bonds is conducive to broadening its issuance channels, promoting the diversification of local government bond investors’ base, ensuring the long-term sustainability of local government bond market, and help boosting the internationalization of RMB. ⚫ Last year the total trading volume of foreign investors in A-shares through the Shanghai Shenzhen HK Stock Connect totaled RMB 9.75 trln, including RMB 4.99 trln in SSE and RMB 4.76 trln in SZSE. Among the trading, the most popular A-shares were Kweichow Moutai (600519), Ping An Insurance Group (601318) and Wuliangye Yibin (000858), with a total investment of RMB 317.33 bln, RMB 255.94 bln and RMB 220.44 bln, respectively. ⚫ 2019’s investment in China’s bonds by foreign institutional investors exceeded RMB 1 trln to reach RMB 1.1 trln. To date, the total value of China’s bonds held by foreign institutional investors has exceeded RMB 2 trln. China’s bond market has shown significance gains with the opening-up of China's financial market. Foreign lnvestments in China’s A-shares Weekly 2 13 January, 2020 ....... 11 Foreign Institutional Investors' Holdings by Industry 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% Sources: China Knowledge In Q4 the market capitalization of A-shares held by foreign investors increased to 2.5% of entire A- shares. The top 3 industries with largest share of foreign investment were electronics, home appliance and Textile & Apparel. Mining industry was still placed on the least popular with merely 0.27%.

As part of China’s liberalization of its stock markets we also factor in foreign investor relations performance metrics and management interaction with foreign investors. The rating results do not constitute a long/short recommendation. Please read the disclaimers below before applying or constitute our rating in your investment decision. A+: To make it to the highest rating, a company must have foreign investment proportion higher than the average of all A-shares and its industry’s average. Its latest quarter should see an increase of more than 10% in foreign investment over previous quarter, or a net growth rate higher than A-shares’ average over a period most current 4 quarters. On the qualitative aspects we assigned foreign investor relations performance metrics to the overall scoring. We find companies rated A+ in most current quarter as sound investment for foreign institutional investors. Only 225 among 3,400 companies rated here make it to A+ for Q4 2019’s rating. A: The company’s proportion of foreign investment is either higher than the A-shares average or its industry’s average. It must see positive net growth over the latest 4 quarters. 327 companies are rated A for Q4 2019’s rating. B: Its foreign investment is lower than the average of all A-shares and its industry’s. Its latest quarter has either declined or remained the same level. Performance on foreign investor relations’ metrics has little impact on overall scoring due to very small proportion of foreign investors and the total sum invested. 395 companies are rated B for Q4 2019’s rating. C: This rating shows little or almost no foreign investment. Its proportion of foreign investments is below all A-shares’ average and industry’ s average in its latest 4 quarters. Scoring on foreign investor relations’ performance metrics is insignificance if the FIIs are not participating in investing the company. D: This lowest rating is given to company that failed to meet all 5 core benchmarks. It shows zero or no foreign investment, has poor coverage in both domestic and foreign news, and very few Chinese or English analysts’ reports. Its IR management does not meet professional standards.

  • China Vanke (A-1)
    9-314-104 REV: MAY 9, 2014 L Y N N S . P A I N E JOHN MACOMBER K E I T H C H I - H O W O N G China Vanke (A-1) For me, long term is five to ten years. For Wang Shi it’s way out there—beyond imagination. Twenty years ago when Vanke was still a very small company, he already had a very grand vision that I thought was impossible to achieve. Twelve years ago when I became the general manager, we were only a two billion RMB company. He was thinking what Vanke might look like if it's a 100 billion company. I couldn’t have imagined that we’d achieve that goal in less than 10 years. — Yu Liang, President, China Vanke China Vanke president Yu Liang surveyed the densely developed expanse of land below as his plane touched down in the southern city of Shenzhen in November 2011. Yu was eager to get back to the company’s headquarters in the suburbs of Shenzhen after several days on the road meeting with subsidiary heads, construction partners, and government officials across China. Under the leadership of its founder Wang Shi, China Vanke Co. Ltd. (Vanke) had grown from a small trading firm to China’s largest homebuilder, successfully navigating the tumultuous mix of volatile markets and ever-changing government policies that characterized China’s real estate market. For 2011, Vanke expected to sell some 10.7 million square meters of floor area, or more than 120,000 homes valued at over 120 billion RMB (about US $20 billion).1 Nonetheless, the year had been a slow one for the industry, as the central government introduced successive waves of austerity measures to bring down skyrocketing prices.
