JPMorgan Chase Bank gets OK to offer local money market fund in China

JPMorgan Chase Bank has gotten the green light from China’s securities regulator to sell local securities investment funds in China, joining a group of foreign banks in getting a piece of the country’s rapidly growing mutual funds market.

JPMorgan Chase Bank (China) Co Ltd, JPMorgan’s locally incorporated bank in Beijing, will begin by offering a yuan-denominated money market fund to institutional and corporate investors, the largest US bank said in an email statement yesterday.

“When it comes to investments, our institutional and corporate clients, local or international, are seeking to establish more robust investment policies and use a wider range of instruments, with a primary focus on fixed income,” said Nick Huang, head of JPMorgan’s Global Corporate Bank for Greater China.

“The fund distribution license will, over time, allow us to offer our clients the widest range of investment options from the rapidly growing asset management industry, combined with traditional bank products,” Huang said.

China Securities Regulatory Commission in June first allowed foreign banks to sell domestic mutual funds as the regulator seeks to boost the participation of institutional investors in China’s nascent securities market to reduce volatility.

JP Morgan Bank joined other eight overseas banks to sell funds, — Citibank, HSBC, East Asia, DBS, Hang Seng Bank, Nanyang Commercial Bank, Standard Chartered and United Overseas Bank.
