The Shenzhen Stock Exchange revised and issued the "Shenzhen Stock Exchange Securities Investment Fund Business Guideline No. 1 - Index Fund", which will come into effect from the date of publication. The "Guideline" consists of ten articles, focusing on the preparation work for fund managers to develop index funds and list them for trading on the Exchange, specific indicators for the quality of underlying indices, and procedures for handling index fund business. The main revisions this time are: first, to clarify that fund managers should prepare for index fund products and comply with the Exchange's risk management requirements. Second, to eliminate the issuance of a letter of no objection procedure, requiring fund managers to submit materials related to the underlying index before the fund is sold. If it meets the requirements, the Exchange will handle the fund sales business. Third, to add arrangements for listing index funds, specifying the procedures for handling the business.
