Margin trading new rules implemented today, investors redeem quantitative multi short products

On July 22, Jinshi Data reported that in order to strengthen the countercyclical adjustment of securities Margin trading, the China Securities Regulatory Commission approved the securities exchange to raise the Margin ratio of securities Margin trading from no less than 80% to 100%, and the Margin ratio of private sale securities investment funds participating in Margin trading from no less than 100% to 120%. This Margin trading policy is officially implemented from today. In addition, the existing Margin trading contracts can be extended, but must be settled no later than September 30. This move has a significant impact on quantitative long-short strategies for stocks, and the supply of securities in the market will be greatly reduced in the future. Even though some securities firms have the ability to create off-exchange securities sources, the cost of private sale institutions participating in Margin trading will also increase significantly, and the market advantage of long-short strategies will significantly decrease. According to private sale sources, some investors have redeemed their investments in quantitative long-short products recently, and many FOF institutions with heavy position long-short strategies are also considering adjusting their positions.
