The China Securities Regulatory Commission published an action plan to promote the high-quality development of capital market indices and index-based investment, with measures aimed at materially increasing the scale and share of index investing while improving the index product ecosystem and strengthening supervision and risk prevention across the full chain. The plan focuses on expanding the supply of high-quality indices, enriching the range of index products, and accelerating improvements to the broader environment for index investing. It also targets a development model in which active and passive strategies in the public fund sector develop in a coordinated, mutually reinforcing way, with index funds expected to play a stronger asset allocation role, support more stable long-term investor returns, and provide more convenient channels for medium- and long-term funds to enter the market as part of a “long-term money, long-term investment” ecosystem. The CSRC plans to coordinate implementation across its internal units and departments, refine supporting institutional arrangements, and maintain an emphasis on supervision and risk prevention to ensure the measures are executed.
