To implement the CSRC deployment of special activities on investor education named “Upholding Rational Investment”, on April 26, SZSE held the “Safeguarding Rational Investment with You” Series Investor Education Event and Listed Companies’ Investor Exchange Meeting, together with Guangdong Securities Regulatory Bureau, Shenzhen Securities Regulatory Bureau, and the Investor Service Center. Over 200 investor representatives and representatives from member companies, listed companies, and the media attended the meeting. The exchanges themed “smart manufacturing” for SZSE-listed companies and investors were also included in the event, being the first of its kind. The activities presented a favorable image of the capital market in serving the real economy and boosting quality economic development.
At the launching ceremony, the officials of SZSC Investor Education Centre indicated that minority investors are important driving forces for the sound development of China’s capital market. Guiding and fostering rational development and the culture of value investment are of great significance to maintain the long-term sound and stable market development. SZSE has always attached great importance to protecting the rights and interests of small and medium investors. We have constantly enhanced frontline supervision responsibilities, improved the information disclosure system, facilitated the effective supply of information on rational investment, and established platforms for rational exchanges. We have also promoted the communication and mutual trust between listed companies and investors, innovated the pattern and content of investment education, and built the learning bases for rational investment study, all of which are measures to promote the formation of rational investment culture in the capital market. The “Safeguarding Rational Investment with You” series event is exactly to implement the requirements of CSRC’s special activities named “Upholding Rational Investment”. The activities aim to unite forces to guide investors in forming correct understanding of the capital market, continuously improve their professional knowledge and risk prevention awareness, and build together the cultural atmosphere of rational investment in the capital market.
The officials of Guangdong Securities Regulatory Bureau (GSRB）emphasized that the Guangdong Administrative Area (excluding Shenzhen) is the area with most securities and futures investors. It’s crucial to do the investor protection work in a prudent manner. GSRB continues to expand channels and improve the coverage and influence of investor education. Upholding the principle that the investor education should “start from children”, GSRB has made Guangzhou the pilot city for incorporating financial management education into the national education system. It has integrated resources to build the Guangdong China Securities Investor Services and Dispute Resolution Center, a measure to vigorously facilitate dispute resolution in the administrative area. By improving mechanisms and strictly supervising listed companies in implementing investor protection requirements, GSRB has always highlighted the legitimate rights and interests of investors. Accordingly, achievements have been made various areas of its work.
Relevant officials of Shenzhen Securities Regulatory Bureau (SZRB) indicated that it’s the bounden duty of regulatory authorities to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of small and medium investors which also embodies the people-oriented principle in the regulatory work. In recent years, SZRB has taken the lead to conduct the publicity of sales products and the pilot of "double recording". It has established the Investor Education Alliance for Securities Operation Organization in Shenzhen Administrative Area, established the Listed Companies Information Disclosure Committee, enhanced the construction of the shareholder return system, and built the “Four-in-One” investor dispute resolution mechanism, aiming to bring the real sense of gain to investors.
The officials of the Investor Service Center concluded that the Center has always put the actual needs and relief appeals of investors as its priority and pragmatically safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of small and medium investors through multiple approaches, such as shareholding exercise, building the national dispute resolution network, promoting the establishment of the demonstration decision mechanism of securities support lawsuits, holding investor seminars, and using the mechanisms and implementation methods suitable for the protection of small and medium investors in the capital market of China. The Investor Service Center has also completed the preparation for establishing the Chinese investor website, which will be put in use in near future.
After the launching ceremony, over 200 small and medium investors and institutional investors listened to the speeches of professional industry analysts and representatives of listed companies on smart manufacturing, and discussed face-to-face with senior executives the philosophy of long-term and value investment. This is also an opening ceremony for the Greater Bay Area Investor Service Program. Next, SZSE shall collaborate with major market players in different areas in running a series of activities on investor education by giving lectures or via the Securities Companies’ Open House Program and Listed Companies’ Open House Program and Open Day Program, etc., with an aim to inform small and investors of their rights and interests and the common risks, raise their willingness to protect and safeguard their legitimate rights, promote rational investment and help balance the development of regional capital markets.
