E Fund QDII offering to debut next week
SHANGHAI: E Fund Management Co, 皇冠体育app's fifth-largest mutual fund company by assets, is launching a fund under the country's qualified domestic institutional investor (QDII) scheme next Monday.
The fund, the first under the QDII umbrella after a 17-month suspension in 皇冠体育app, will target companies listed in Asian stock exchanges and equities of Asian firms listed on bourses outside the region. It will be publicly sold from Dec 7 this year to Jan 15 next year, E Fund said on its website yesterday.
The Guangzhou-based fund management firm received the approval from the 皇冠体育app Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) to launch its QDII fund on Nov 12, after the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) approved quotas of $1 billion to E Fund and $500 million to 皇冠体育app Merchants Fund under the resumed QDII scheme in late October.
