The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), in collaboration with the Jiangsu Office of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and the Financial Office of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), held the inaugural institutional investor activity series in 2025 to serve the Yangtze River Delta in Nanjing on January 9 and 10. The activities included themed presentations, industry sharing sessions, and guiding institutional investors to visit listed companies. They vigorously promoted investment-side reform, facilitated the entry of medium to long-term funds into the market, and encouraged institutional investors to practice the concepts of rational, value-oriented, and long-term investment, thereby fostering the high-quality development of the capital market.

Yuan Duoran, a member of the SSE Party Committee, stated during the presentation that the SSE aims to establish an institutional investor service system over the next five years. This system will be comprehensive in organization, systematic in form, and branded in content. It will cultivate a team of institutional investors that proactively practice the concepts of rational, value-oriented, and long-term investment. By fostering high-quality development among institutional investors, the SSE seeks to better service medium and small investors and create a market ecosystem conducive to establishing a world-class exchange. Recently, the SSE and the Jiangsu Provincial People's Government signed a strategic cooperation agreement, stating that both parties will jointly service the high-quality development of the real economy and enhance cooperation in investment and financing. The inaugural institutional investor presentation sessions in 2025 represent a concrete measure to fulfill the inherent requirements of the agreement. Moving forward, the SSE will strengthen and improve institutional investor services and work alongside institutional investors, to make new contributions to the high-quality development of the capital market, the continued recovery and high-quality growth of the economy, and achieving a good start for the 15th Five-Year Plan period. Tu Chubin, a member of the Party Committee and Deputy Director of the CSRC Jiangsu Office stated that cultivating "Three Investments Concepts" mindset among investors is crucial for revitalizing the capital market and attaining sustainable and high-quality growth. Institutional investors should seize current market and policy opportunities, emphasize their functional roles, and proactively integrate their professional capabilities into the broader context of economic and social development, thereby better servicing the real economy and supporting technological self-reliance and strength development. He introduced that the capital market in Jiangsu has achieved results in high-quality development: The number of IPO companies and the scale of direct financing are leading in the country; there have been significant outcomes in serving scientific and technological innovation; listed companies are focusing on major project construction; investment value continues to rise; industry institutions are functioning effectively; and privately offered fund investments are active. At the same time, Jiangsu is vigorously promoting listed companies to enhance industrial integration, facilitating M&As among listed companies, and encouraging the integration of securities firms Guolian Securities and Minsheng Securities. Its efforts in strengthening top-level design, leveraging the functions of regional equity markets, and enhancing departmental collaboration have resulted in diversified investment channels. During the series of activities, the SSE conducted special presentation activities on topics such as index-based investment and the development of ETF derivative products, the ESG investment system with Chinese characteristics, and the positive practice and negative warnings regarding the Opinions on Deepening Market Reform in Mergers and Acquisitions of Listed Companies. Additionally, industry institutions were organized to share and exchange insights on AI-enabled investment research practices. Furthermore, the SSE led over 40 institutional investors to visit the listed company Micro-Tech (Nanjing) Co., Ltd. for an investigation and study on high-quality development. In the next step, the SSE will thoroughly implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and the Central Financial Work Conference. This includes enhancing the capital market functions that coordinate investment and financing, supporting medium to long-term funds entering the market, accelerating reforms on the investment side, establishing the "Three Investments Concepts" mindset, and focusing on cultivating first-class investment banks and institutions. The SSE will also implement the deployments and requirements of the State Council’s Guidelines on Strengthening Supervision, Forestalling Risks and Promoting High-Quality Development of the Capital Market regarding strengthening the supervision of securities and fund institutions, driving the industry to return to its fundamentals and enhancing its strengths, and sustaining the growth of long-term investment capabilities.
