After preliminary public consultation, on the 9th, the CSRC revised and reissued the Provisions on Establishing the Suitability System for Financial Futures Investors.

On July 5, 20 13, the CSRC issued the Decision on Modification (Draft for Comment), and at the same time, it publicly solicited opinions from the public. As of July 20th, 20 13, the CSRC has received opinions and suggestions from five futures companies, five securities companies, 1 fund companies and eight natural persons 19. Among the 19 opinions received, there are 13 opinions * * related to "appropriateness provisions", which mainly focus on three aspects: first, whether the system is applicable to financial options; Second, whether the specific content of Article 14 "Industry Supervision Policy Requirements" of the Regulations on the Administration of Futures Trading can be clarified; The third is whether the threshold for opening an account of 500,000 can be lowered.

The spokesman explained the above three points one by one. He said that at present, the CSRC is conducting an in-depth study on option trading. If there are new requirements for the investor suitability of financial options in the future, the CSRC will issue separate regulations. The revision of Article 14 of the Regulations on the Administration of Futures Trading is to reserve legal application space for the possible adjustment of the industry supervision policies of intermediaries such as securities and futures in the future. The specific criteria for financial futures investors to open accounts are determined by CICC according to the principle of "appropriateness regulations".
