Core Viewpoint - The sell-side research business in China's securities industry is considered the "crown jewel," reflecting a brokerage's professional capability and comprehensive influence, despite not generating significant profits [2][3]. Summary by Sections Sell-Side Research Capability Measurement - The measurement of sell-side research capabilities among brokerages is primarily based on the total amount of commission allocated by public funds and their rankings. The recent commission ranking, following the public fund commission reform, highlights the strengths and weaknesses of research and service capabilities [3][4]. Top Tier: Expected Reshuffling and Surprises - The merger of two traditional institutions, Guotai Junan and Haitong Securities, into Guotai Haitong Securities has created a reshuffling opportunity in the top tier of sell-side research.

Second Tier: The "Billion Club" - The second tier of brokerages, ranked 11th to 20th, is highly competitive, with many firms vying for the "billion club" threshold. The top three in this tier are Tianfeng Securities,招商证券, and东吴证券, all closely matched in commission income [14][15]. Notable Exceptions - Guolian Minsheng Securities, which also underwent a merger, is uniquely positioned in the rankings due to its late merger timing, potentially affecting its future standings [16]. Bottom Tier: Rare Positive Growth - Among the bottom ten brokerages, there are rare examples of positive growth, particularly华源证券 and华福证券, which have seen significant increases in their commission income due to strategic hires and team expansions [17][19].
