Introduction To make the finance and asset management industry keep abreast of the latest industry developments, Haiwen prepares the “Haiwen Finance and Asset Management Monthly”. This monthly reading aims to introduce and provide brief comments on regulatory development and industry news. In July 2025, regarding regulatory updates, the National Financial Regulatory Administration (“NFRA”) issued the Measures for the Suitability Management of Financial Institution Products and the Interim Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Local Asset Management Companies; the Hainan Provincial Local Financial Supervision Administration and other departments issued the Implementation Rules for the Pilot Program of Cross-Border Asset Management in Hainan Free Trade Port. Regarding industry developments, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) issued the Guidelines on Governance of Listed Companies (Revised Draft for Comments); the People's Bank of China (“PBOC”) issued the Business Rules for Cross-border Interbank Payment System (Draft for Comments); the Shanghai Stock Exchange (“SSE”) and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (“SZSE”) separately issued the Guidelines of Shanghai Stock Exchange for the Risk Management of Exchange-traded Funds (Application Guideline No. 4 under the Fund Self-regulatory Rules), the Guidelines of Shenzhen Stock Exchange for the Risk Management of Exchange-traded Funds (Business Guideline No. 4 under the Securities Investment Fund Rules), the Guidelines of Shanghai Stock Exchange for the Programmatic Trading Reporting of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Investors (Application Guideline No. 2 under the Securities Trading Rules), and the Guidelines of Shenzhen Stock Exchange for the Programmatic Trading Reporting of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Investors (Business Guideline No. 3 under the Securities Trading Rules). I Latest Rules and Regulations Latest 1. NFRA Issued the Measures for the Suitability Management of Financial Institution Products
(1) Fundamental Rules of Suitability Management: Financial institutions are required to comprehensively assess both client characteristics and product features to ensure that appropriate financial products or services are provided to corresponding client groups through suitable sales channels.
(2) Suitability Rules for Investment Products: The Measures for the Suitability Management mandate financial institutions to adopt a risk-grading system and implement dynamic risk management for investment-oriented products. Investors are categorized into professional investors and retail investors. Enhanced protections for retail investors are made, including the assessment of risk tolerance, strict compliance with information disclosure obligations, and provision of explicit risk warnings.
(3) Suitability Rules for Insurance Products: Financial institutions must classify and grade insurance products by taking into account multiple risk factors, in alignment with the qualification-based hierarchical management system for insurance sales personnel. Institutions are further required to conduct needs analysis and financial capability assessments of policyholders based on the information collected. When selling high-risk products such as investment-linked insurance, additional measures must be taken, including product risk rating and policyholder risk tolerance assessment.
(4) Enhanced Supervision and Enforcement: Where financial institutions or their responsible personnel fail to fulfill suitability management obligations as prescribed by law, NFRA and its local offices are empowered to take supervisory measures or impose administrative penalties in accordance with the relevant regulations.
The Measures for the Suitability Management implement in depth the policy directives and strategic decisions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council concerning the strengthening of financial consumer protection. By advancing the regulatory front line of financial consumer rights protection, the Measures for the Suitability Management are conducive to enhancing the suitability management standards of financial institutions and regulating their business conduct. Moreover, they contribute to the establishment of a more equitable, trustworthy, secure, and prudent financial consumption environment.
2. NFRA Issued the Interim Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Local Asset Management Companies
In order to fully implement the guiding principles of the Central Financial Work Conference, further regulate the conduct of local asset management companies, promote their sound and compliant development, and mitigate regional financial risks as well as risks to the real economy, NFRA issued the Interim Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Local Asset Management Companies (the “Interim Measures for Local Asset Management Companies”) on July 13, 2025. The principal provisions are summarized as follows:
(1) Regulation of Business Conduct of Local Asset Management Companies: The Interim Measures for Local Asset Management Companies define the scope of business, establish limits on business proportions, clarify operating regions, and specify the types of assets that may be acquired by local asset management companies. Moreover, the Interim Measures for Local Asset Management Companies regulate their conduct in non-performing asset disposals, including debt recovery and external transfers. Explicit prohibitions are also stipulated, such as guaranteeing principal or fixed returns, imposing repurchase obligations on transferors, assisting financial institutions in concealing non-performing assets, and providing financing channels to local government financing vehicles in a manner that generates implicit local government debt.
(2) Strengthening Risk Management: With respect to concentration risk, the balance of equity, debt, and other investment exposures to a single client or a single corporate group may not exceed 10% and 15% of the net assets of a local asset management company, respectively. Regarding liquidity risk, the value of high-quality liquid assets held must not be lower than the projected net cash outflows within the following 30 days. As for related-party transactions, the total credit balance to all related parties may not exceed 50% of the company’s net assets as of the end of the previous quarter. In addition, in order to control external financing and prevent risk contagion, the balance of external financing of a local asset management company is capped at three times its net assets.
(3) Clarification of Supervisory Responsibilities: Provincial-level financial regulatory authorities bear primary responsibility for supervising local asset management companies and managing related risks within their respective jurisdictions. NFRA and its local offices are required to strengthen information-sharing and coordination with provincial regulators.
The Interim Measures for Local Asset Management Companies, as an important step in implementing the directives of the Central Financial Work Conference, are instrumental in improving the regulatory framework for local asset management companies, enhancing industry standards in risk management and compliance, and strengthening the capacity of the sector to prevent and resolve risks affecting regional financial stability and the real economy.
3. The Hainan Provincial Local Financial Supervision Administration and Other Departments Issued the Implementation Rules for the Pilot Program of Cross-Border Asset Management in Hainan Free Trade Port
On July 21, 2025, the Hainan Provincial Local Financial Supervision Administration, together with four other government departments, jointly issued the Implementation Rules for the Pilot Program of Cross-Border Asset Management in Hainan Free Trade Port (the “Implementation Rules”).
According to the Implementation Rules, the pilot program permits foreign investors to participate in diversified asset management products issued by financial institutions located within the Hainan Free Trade Port. Such products include, but are not limited to, private asset management plans, public securities investment funds, and insurance asset management products. From a regulatory design perspective, the Implementation Rules establish a comprehensive framework across seven dimensions: (i) qualification requirements for pilot institutions and reporting procedures; (ii) scope of pilot asset management products; (iii) suitability requirements for foreign investors; (iv) account management and cross-border capital flows; (v) mechanisms for controlling the scale of the pilot program; (vi) investor protection and dispute resolution; and (vii) statistical monitoring and regulatory supervision.

In addition, for scenarios where ETF share reference net value may deviate abnormally, the ETF Guidelines require the formulation and improvement of corresponding emergency handling arrangements.
(2)Clarifying Risk Management of Member Clients’ ETF Trading Behavior: Members are required to improve internal management systems and processes, establish mechanisms for continuous monitoring and tracking of client trading behavior, effectively implement client classification management, and continuously strengthen their capacity to manage risks arising from clients’ ETF trading activities.
4. SSE and SZSE Issued the Guidelines for Programmatic Trading Reporting under Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect
On July 11, 2025, SSE and SZSE respectively issued the Guidelines of Shanghai Stock Exchange for the Programmatic Trading Reporting of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Investors (Application Guideline No. 2 under the Securities Trading Rules) (the “SSE Guideline No. 2”) and the Guidelines of Shenzhen Stock Exchange for the Programmatic Trading Reporting of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Investors (Business Guideline No. 3 under the Securities Trading Rules) (the “SZSE Guideline No. 3”, together with SSE Guideline No. 2, referred to the “Programmatic Trading Guidelines”). The main provisions are summarized as follows:
(1)General Requirements and Reporting Scope: Investors engaging in programmatic trading of stocks, funds, and other securities on the exchange markets through the Mainland-Hong Kong Stock Connect mechanism are required to fulfill reporting obligations in accordance with the Programmatic Trading Guidelines. Such investors must ensure that the reported information is true, accurate, and complete.
(2)Reporting Channels and Timeframe: The Programmatic Trading Guidelines establish a “report-first, trade-later” principle. HKEX clients participating in trading must first report relevant information to the HKEX participant through whom they place trades. The participant must submit the reported information to the Exchanges for confirmation within five trading days via the HKEX Securities Trading Service Company (the “Service Company”). If a HKEX participant conducts programmatic trading on its own account, it shall directly fulfill reporting obligations through the Service Company. The Service Company is responsible for consolidating daily reports and submitting them to the Exchanges.
(3)Types of Reported Information: Required information includes basic information, fund information, trading information, and trading system software information. Relevant parties are also required to cooperate with the Exchanges in assisting the HKEX in contacting and coordinating with investors.
(4)High-frequency Trading Management: Investors identified as engaging in high-frequency trading must submit additional supporting materials, including server locations of trading systems, system test reports, and emergency response plans.
(5)Responsibilities of HKEX Participants: the Service Company shall supervise HKEX participants in reminding their clients to fulfill reporting obligations and review the submitted information based on available data. If clients fail to comply after multiple reminders, the Service Company shall require the participant, in accordance with contractual provisions, to refuse acceptance of such clients’ programmatic trading orders.
(6)Regulatory Requirements: Where market participants fail to fulfill reporting or update obligations, submit incomplete or inaccurate information, or otherwise fail to comply with reporting management requirements, the Exchanges have the authority to request the HKEX to assist in implementing self-regulatory actions or disciplinary measures.
(7)Client Information Acquisition: The Exchanges may, through regulatory cooperation arrangements, obtain client information for investors engaged in programmatic trading and related business activities, such as total return swaps.
