SHANGHAI - China's securities regulator issued draft rules to strengthen regulations on company listings, delistings and quant trading on Friday, in a move to improve the stock market and protect investor interests.
To improve the quality of listed companies, the CSRC said it plans to moderately increase requirements for operating income and net profit for companies listing on the main board and tech-focused ChiNext. It would also expand on-site inspection of companies under IPO review and related intermediaries.
Chinese quant funds, which use derivatives and data-driven computer models, face tighter regulatory scrutiny. In February, the bourses barred a fund manager from trading for three days, saying it had broken rules on orderly trading.
