Asset management in China
State-owned asset management
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asset management companies in China came into being in 1998. The founding of commercial Asset management companies (AMC; Chinese: 金融资产管理公司) established by the Ministry of Finance tasked with professionally managing third-party assets was a major landmark in the development of China's financial system. It marks a transition in Chinese regulation away from an unregulated environment toward a system where specialist companies started to operate according to a defined set of standards and regulations.
