Power of shareholders
Among the existing 10 futures companies in Zhejiang, nanhua futures and Da Yue futures are controlled by private shareholders, and the rest are controlled by various state-owned shareholders. "The basic situation of Zhejiang enterprises is that there are many small and medium-sized enterprises and few large state-owned holding groups." A person in charge of a futures company in Zhejiang told reporters that this situation makes Zhejiang state-owned enterprises more flexible and competitive in the market, and the help and requirements for futures companies are more market-oriented.
As a privately-owned futures company, nanhua futures and yongan futures completed the joint-stock reform at the same time, which laid the foundation for the company's listing. Industry insiders predict that yongan futures and nanhua futures, as representatives of state-owned holding companies and private holding companies respectively, are most likely to become the first listed futures companies.
From the background of shareholders, half of Zhejiang 10 futures companies have brokerage background. Different from some futures companies controlled by large brokers, the brokerage shareholders of futures companies in Zhejiang respect the original management team of futures companies more. On the one hand, these companies have formed a good profit model before the brokerage holding, on the other hand, it is also related to the small scale of the brokerage shareholders themselves. On the whole, the proportion of stock index futures turnover of brokers in Zhejiang is not significantly higher than that of non-brokers.
"In Zhejiang, shareholder support is an important driving force for the company's development, but futures companies still rely on their own strength to complete their own changes. Relying on shareholders rather than relying on them will still be the criterion for Zhejiang Futures Company to handle the relationship with shareholders. " The person in charge of another futures company in Zhejiang said.
Innovation is a kind of consciousness.
In the past two years, the CSRC has successively liberalized investment consulting business, futures asset management business and risk management subsidiary business. It is understood that for the above business, some futures companies under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang have already explored it in various forms long before it was fully liberalized. After these innovative explorations have gradually become a common business, can Zhejiang Futures Company maintain its advantages?
"Zhejiang Futures Company has more demand motivation to innovate in all aspects." Luo Xufeng [Weibo], general manager of nanhua futures, told the reporter of Futures Daily that traditional futures companies are more familiar with commodity futures, have more in-depth research, and have a relatively good customer base in the industry, so it is easier to carry out risk management and other related businesses.
For the sense of innovation, Hu Jun, general manager of Zheshang Futures, has a deep understanding: "Futures companies that miss innovation opportunities will only provide channel business, and excellent futures companies will transform from channel business to intermediary services, risk management and wealth management." It is understood that 20 futures companies approved for asset management business in 20 12 will launch products this year, and their product design ability, marketing ability and channel integration ability will be tested by the market. Some futures companies will be transformed into joint-stock enterprises through restructuring, and listing of futures companies will become an important strategic choice after channel construction, acquisition and merger.
"Innovation is endless, and its essence is an idea and spirit." Qiu, general manager of Dida Futures, believes that the reason why Zhejiang Futures Company dares to explore in various periods is precisely based on the overall innovative atmosphere of Zhejiang Futures Company. As long as this sense of innovation is maintained, Zhejiang Futures Company will remain the first phalanx in the industry in the future development.
