In the past 2021, for the shareholders of some small and medium-sized securities companies, life was not calm. This year, the equity of some securities companies was not "fragrant".

With regard to the transfer of equity of small and medium-sized securities companies, a non bank analyst in Beijing told reporters that there are many reasons. At the financial level, the return on net assets is too low to make money, and shareholders have better investment choices; It may also be that the business has potential risks and is eager to get rid of it; It may also be the decline in the value of brokerage licenses. If the shareholder is a state-owned financial holding platform, it may sell non main business assets based on the requirements of focusing on the main business.
