The experts of the SSE, the sponsor of the training, as well as those from Huatai-Pinebridge Fund, Guotai Junan Securities and other co-organizers elaborated on the ETF business rules, the operation process, the trading strategies, the software tools, etc. to the heads and backbones of brokerage divisions and persons-in-charge and investment counselors of key business departments under the securities companies. Besides, they made exchanges on the market services. The training, popular with all the securities companies, not only facilitates the companies' staffs' further understanding of the unique advantages and rich application modes of ETF as a tool, but also provides a platform for the front-line sales and service staffs and fund managers to hold in-depth discussions with the investment experts.

The SSE said that it would continuously reinforce the market services, organize the talks among market participants as well as improve relevant institutions' capabilities in market service and investor education.
