Recently, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and the Fujian Securities Regulatory Bureau (FSRB) jointly held a special training class for guiding rational investment, with a view to intensifying the investor education and protection and strengthening investors' abilities of rational participation in investments. Among those present at the training class were heads of business departments from nearly 200 securities companies as well as relevant officials from the FSRB and the SSE who delivered speeches respectively.
According to an SSE official, the investor education and protection is related to both the vital interests of investors and the integrity and image of securities companies. The SSE takes it as an important move to hold the special training classes for guiding rational investment with the CSRC's branches in various areas for the purpose of implementing the CSRC's work instruction on reinforcing the publicity of investor protection in the recent period. The SSE will renew its efforts on the training program to guide investors for rational investment and implement the investor suitability management.
As stated by an official of the FSRB, the sound development of the capital market calls for fair and transparent operating mechanisms, and especially mature and rational investors. The investor education and protection is not only a daily task of securities companies but also a social responsibility and obligation they should undertake. He hoped that the training enabled heads of business departments to understand the importance of guidance for rational investment and value investing and to improve their services for the investor education and protection.
