外资加仓A股！QFII，三季度增持至少121股

Core Viewpoint - The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has officially released the "Optimization Work Plan for Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) System," which simplifies the investment preparation process for QFII and provides a green channel for sovereign funds, international organizations, and pension charitable funds [1][7]. Summary by Sections QFII Investment Trends - Since the introduction of the QFII system in 2002, it has become a significant channel for foreign capital entering the A-share market, with different investment styles compared to domestic funds [1]. - As of October 30, 2023, major QFII investors like Morgan Stanley, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and others have continued to increase their holdings in A-shares, with at least 121 stocks seeing an increase in shares held [2][4]. Sector Preferences - The most heavily weighted sectors among QFII investments are not semiconductors but rather hardware equipment, machinery, chemicals, electrical equipment, and pharmaceuticals [2]. - Notable increases in holdings include stocks like Nanjing Bank, China West Electric, and Oriental Yuhong, with UBS and Barclays being the most active in increasing their positions [2][3]. Middle Eastern Sovereign Funds - Middle Eastern sovereign funds, such as the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, tend to have a more concentrated portfolio compared to their Western counterparts, holding fewer stocks [4]. - The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority increased its holdings in several stocks, including Bao Feng Energy and Hengli Hydraulic, while also reducing its stake in others like North Building Materials [4][5]. QFII System Expansion - The recent optimization plan aims to make it easier for qualified foreign investors to enter the Chinese market, with improvements in qualification approval, account opening, and fund transfer processes [7]. - The CSRC aims to implement these reforms within two years, including the establishment of rules for securities investment consulting services for foreign investors [7].
