China Post Securities Research Report believes that the growth support logic of the securities industry at this stage lies in:

(1) the increase in performance brought about by the transformation of brokerage business to wealth management mode is mainly due to the constant trend of residents’ deposits from banks that bring low returns and liquidity to the stock market that can bring high returns and high liquidity. Superimposed on the pilot expansion of securities companies’ fund investment advisers and the gradual expansion of fund holdings, the outlook of the securities industry continues to rise.

(2) the performance increment contributed by the new market places bred by innovative business, such as the expansion of securities lending scale, the strong demand for derivatives business inside and outside the market, the exploration of securities settlement fund model and the popularization of “investment bank + investment” two wheel driven business model, will raise the performance level of securities companies. From the perspective of the whole securities industry, the above growth support logic will provide a new revenue growth point for the whole industry; For large-scale securities companies, it will further develop in the strategic direction of building aircraft carrier level securities companies in the country; For small and medium-sized securities companies, their exhibition direction and ability will benefit from the new blue ocean market and earn differentiated income.
