On September 10 2015, Shenzhen Stock Exchange (“SZSE”) and Goldman Sachs & Co jointly organized a “Shenzhen Enterprises Day” activity in Shenzhen. Over 60 domestic and foreign investment institutions from the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Norway, Singapore, India and Hong Kong and senior executives from 18 Shenzhen market listed companies communicated and carried out research in the activity. Liu Huiqing, vice general manager with SZSE participated in and addressed the meeting.
Among the 18 participated companies, 6 of them are listed on the main board, 4 on the SME board and 8 on the ChiNext board. These companies are engaged in medicine, real estate, transportation, public environmental protection, food and beverage, TMT, financial services, automotive manufacturing and other industries. Investment institutions can choose the companies they interested in to have face to face communications with the senior executives, listen to their introduction on the company’s operations and prospects.
The foreign investment institutions participated in the activity not just limited to Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII), but also included other foreign professional investment institutions. Institutional types included asset management companies, mutual funds, hedge funds and investment banks, etc.
The active communications among foreign investors and listed companies were focused on the topics such as their market position in the industry and core competitiveness, and overseas market expansion and future growth prospects. Foreign investors also approached SZSE for information about characteristics of the Shenzhen markets and products and services provided for the linkage between foreign investors and listed companies. All the questions raised by investors were answered in detailed. The activity provided a two-way communication opportunity for Shenzhen-listed companies and investors at home and abroad and enhanced foreign investors’ understanding of Shenzhen-listed companies.
Seven sessions of Listed Companies’ Open House Program for Foreign Investors have been organized and held by SZSE before, covering investment institutions located in the U.S., Europe, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Under the background of China’s capital market gradually opening to the outside world, such interchange activities can improve foreign investors’ understanding of China’s capital market, and propel listed companies to perfect their international investor relations services. In the future, SZSE will continue to improve the services for foreign investors, promote capital market opening to the outside world, and boost the internationalization development of listed companies.
