In 2021, around 1.9 trillion yuan of new long-term fund may flow into the A-share market thanks to institutions' portfolio demands and under guidance from related policies, Chen Guo, chief strategist with Essence Securities told the newspaper.
Under boosts from the guiding policies, wealth management products of banks and social security funds are expected to become the new sources of long-term investment for the A-share market, likely to spur 150 billion yuan and 160 billion yuan of new fund inflows, added Chen.
The other three types of investors, publicly-offered funds, insurers and foreign investors are anticipated to be the main long-term investment sources for A-share market, likely to bring about 750 billion yuan, 427.2 billion yuan and 240 billion yuan of capital inflows for A-share market.
