Core Viewpoint - The Financial Regulatory Bureau is drafting a management method for information disclosure of asset management products in banking and insurance sectors to establish unified regulatory standards and enhance investor protection [1][2]. Group 1: Information Disclosure Management - The proposed method aims to standardize information disclosure for asset management trust products, wealth management products, and insurance asset management products, addressing the lack of a dedicated disclosure regulation [1][3]. - The method will regulate the entire lifecycle of asset management products, including fundraising, ongoing management, and termination, ensuring clarity in product information [1][2]. Group 2: Specific Requirements - During the fundraising phase, the method will specify requirements for product documentation, including performance benchmarks, to ensure transparency in product sales [2][3]. - In the ongoing management phase, it mandates accurate and comprehensive reporting of past performance and timely disclosure of significant events to clarify product risks [2][3]. - For the termination phase, it requires disclosure of fees and profit distribution in the final announcements and liquidation reports to ensure clarity in product returns [2][3]. Group 3: Performance Benchmark Disclosure - The method allows asset management products to not disclose performance benchmarks, providing flexibility to managers and avoiding unnecessary formalism [2][3]. - For products that do disclose performance benchmarks, strict requirements will be set to ensure that the benchmarks are relevant and accurately reflect the investment strategy and underlying assets [3][4].
