Embracing the New Era:A new chapter of Opening-up in China’s Financial Sector(Updated in May 2018 based on new policies and data)

Management consulting

This report has been updated based on China’s new policies

and data compares to the March 2018 edition.

In his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Boao

Forum for Asia 2018 (BFA) on April 10, President Xi Jinping

described economic globalization as an irreversible trend, and

noted that China would continue on its course of opening-up.

On the following day, the People’s Bank of China unveiled

policy details as well as a timeline, that focus on expending

market access and lifting ownership restrictions.

The precise timing for the further opening-up of financial

sector reflects that decision-makers have adequately grasped

the risk of the domestic financial system. After experiencing

strong supervision in 2017, the systematic risk in financial

sector has been reduced to some extent and China’s financial

industry is maturing.

This series of deeper financial measures to open-up are

beneficial to both China and the global financial industry, as

they will create new opportunities for domestic and foreign

players, adding market competition, and leading to new

channels, products and services, with improved customer

experience, and operations.

2018 marks the beginning of a new era that China further opens up its financial service sector

Total AUM of China’s asset management service provider, as of 2017

The legendary Chinese strategist SunZi said, “fully

understand the competitive landscape and you will never be

defeated.” With the aim of bringing you the receipt of the

winning formula, we prepared this overview of China’s

financial service sector. Key messages of the overview include:

1) The regulatory policy changes by the authorities are swift

and firm, with full support of Chinese top leadership.

2) While Chinese FIs enjoyed significant growth over last

decade, they are experiencing significant headwind in

recent years. There are little differentiation in product &

service offerings among Chinese FIs. Yet leading Chinese

FIs have made good progress in developing nationwide

channels and branch network. Regional banks have

stronger customer loyalty. Most leading Chinese FIs have

strong digital capabilities, especially in digital payment.

3) Most foreign FIs selected trusted and capable partner(s) to

develop their business in China.

We hope you find this overview insightful. Should you have

any questions regarding China’s financial service sector,

please do feel free to contact us.

By the end of 2017, total assets of China’s financial services industry reached USD 32 Trillion and the AUM of china asset

management service provider reached 20 Trillion. As China committed to further opening up, we expect foreign financial

institutions’ (FIs) market share to expand in the future – 2018 is the another good timing for foreign FIs to seize China’s

growth opportunity.

The Financial Regulatory Landscape

The People’s Bank of China (PBoC, China’s Central Bank)

Financial Stability and Development Commission of the State Council

The separation of supervision of China’s financial services industry has created significant risks in certain subsectors,

including insurance asset management, banking wealth management, shadow banking, etc.

With the People’s Banks of China introducing macro-prudential supervision and the recent establishment of the cross-sector

Financial Stability and Development Commission proposed in National Financial Work Conference (NFWC), as well as other

policy making meetings, such as the 19th CPC Party Congress, Central Economic Work Conference, China’s regulatory

framework is moving to an coordinated and collaborative approach.

Some recent policies with significant implications include:

• The merge of banking and insurance regulatory committee, and restriction on the shadow banking business of asset

management institutions;

• Crack down on Internet micro loans;

• Restriction on Unit-Linked products by insurance company;

• Restriction on program trading;

stabilized since 2016, mainly due to

improved risk management,

increased fee-based income, and

more diversified business models.

• The growth of fee-based income

could not offset shrinking net

Larger banks are focusing on optimization of credit portfolio, while regional banks are still actively looking for ways to expand their balance sheets

• City commercial banks and rural

banking institutions (collectively

referred to as “regional banks” in

this context) enjoyed CAGR of

20.6% and 14.1% respectively in

total assets between 2014 and

2017.

• These is a continuous rise in non-

performing loan (NPL) ratios

among regional banks while larger

banks stabilized.

• Regional banks are still heavily

relying on corporate customers.

They have to bear higher costs,

and are more effected by the

“supply side” structural reform.

• Many life insurance companies

have expanded business scale by

selling universal life insurance

and unit-linked products before

2016. The compound growth rate

of non-premium investment

funds from 2013 to 2016 is 57.2%.

• The business model was

considered to bring very high risk,

and was strictly regulated by CIRC

since 2017. As a result, the non-

substantially reduced.

• The premium mix of property

insurance companies are stable in

recent years.

• The proportion of vehicle

largest, around 70%.

• As vehicle sales growth began to

insurance companies increased at a

compound growth rate of 20%,

reaching over USD 2.3 Trillion in

2017.

• In terms of the asset allocation of

investment portfolio, it used to be

mainly in bonds and bank deposits.

In recent years, high-yield assets

such as unlisted equity and debt

instruments are growing in

demand.

• As insurance companies

investment scope were expanded,

as well as a buyout capital market,

the return on investment (ROI)

continued to grow in 2014 and

2015.

• But as macro economic slowdown

and a lack of quality assets, ROI of

insurance funds felt since 2016.

• If the market remains sluggish, the

ROI of insurance funds will

continue to face pressure.

• Institutional investors such as insurance companies, are

becoming more and more important LPs of PE funds. They

will expect PE funds to provide more professional and

comprehensive services to meet internal management

responsibilities or regulatory requirements.

• Despite a lack of derivatives in China, fund managers still

need to develop quantitative investment capability.

• Fund managers need to actively explore and apply

innovative investment approach to gain alpha returns.

• Fund managers need to provide customized investment

management services to accommodate the diversified

risk appetite of high net worth individual and

institutional clients.

• The number of private fund managers has increased

substantially. Many traditional FIs such as securities firms,

trust companies are entering this market as fund

managers. Institutions with strong investment

management capability will dominate the market in

coming years, which may lead to market concentration.

• Asset Management Association of China (AMAC) has

adopted stricter requirements on information disclosure

of private fund managers and their products, and began

to impose penalty on inappropriate practice.

• With new investor suitability standards issued, many

existing business models are deemed as unacceptable.

• Due to the fluctuation of stock markets, securities firms’ income experienced significant ups and downs in recent years.

• From the perspective of income mix, the income heavily relies on brokerage, investment and securities underwriting

activities.

• Although all leading securities firms have been actively building their asset management business, income contribution from

such business is still not significant.

still small.

Global FIs’ Anticipated Challenges

in Developing China Market

6

Top challenges for foreign financial institutions to succeed in China market

Obtaining license

• Financial licenses are still relatively scarce resources in China because of

the long permission process and large number of candidate institutions in

waiting list. Foreign FIs shall first evaluate whether to apply for a license

or to acquire a local licensed FI.

• During the license application process, Foreign FIs will need to maintain

an effective communication with regulators.

Compliance to local regulations

• The regulations have been evolving rapidly as China market develops.

When entering China market, foreign FIs need to consider how to quickly

adapt to the local regulatory environment.

• Foreign FIs may consider bringing in innovative financial services from

global market, which requires additional communications with regulatory

authorities to review and approve.

Business operation optimization

• Once established China business, Foreign FIs need to build up local

operation team or outsource to such function to local service providers.

The real challenge is how to integrate local operation with global

management framework and process in order to better leverage global

leading practices.

• For some specific operational areas, such as human resource, risk

management, product management, customer and channel management,

financial budgeting, IT system etc, it takes efforts to tailor global

methodologies into the unique settings of China market.

Products & services differentiation

• After rapid development in the recent decade, some major local FIs have

established certain competitive advantages, accumulated a large number

of customers, and extended branch network to wide geographic areas. It is

essential for Foreign FIs to make strategic plans and road maps to

leverage global capabilities to develop differentiated products and services

so as to boost make share and revenue growth.
