The fund registration institution refers to the institution that the fund management company applies to the China Securities Regulatory Commission for establishment, and is responsible for the establishment, registration and filing of the fund, usually a wholly-owned subsidiary or independent institution of the fund management company. The fund registration institution needs to submit an application for establishing a fund to the China Securities Regulatory Commission, including the fund contract, prospectus and other materials, and gradually revise and improve it according to the requirements of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. Only after the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission can the fund be formally established.

The fund share registration institution refers to the institution entrusted by the fund management company to be responsible for the registration of fund shares and the information management of share holders. The fund share registration institution is the service provider of the fund management company, which is responsible for providing information management, share registration, share transfer and other services for the fund management company and providing relevant information and reports for the fund management company.

Therefore, the fund registration institution and the fund share registration institution are two different institutions, which bear different responsibilities and tasks of fund operation respectively.
