  • China Securities Regulatory Commission: FAQ On Beneficial Ownership Under SH-HK Stock Connect

    Date 18/05/2015

    1. Do overseas investors enjoy proprietary rights in the SSE Securities acquired through the Northbound Trading Link as shareholders? Are the concepts of "nominee holder" and "beneficial owner" recognized under Mainland  law?

    Article 18 of the Administrative Measures for Registration and Settlement of Securities (the “Settlement Measures”) states that “securities shall be recorded in the accounts of the securities holders, unless laws, administrative regulations or CSRC rules prescribe that the securities shall be recorded in accounts opened in the name of nominee holders”. Hence, the Settlement Measuresexpressly provides for the concept of nominee shareholding. Article 13 of the Certain Provisions on Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Pilot Program (the “CSRC Stock Connect Rules”) states that shares acquired by investors through the Northbound Trading Link shall be registered in the name of HKSCC and that “investors are legally entitled to the rights and benefits of shares acquired through the Northbound Trading Link”. Accordingly, the CSRC Stock Connect Rules have expressly stipulated that, in Northbound trading, overseas investors shall hold SSE Securities through HKSCC and are entitled to proprietary interests in such securities as shareholders.
