On October 8th, under the guidance of the Investor Protection Bureau of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the "200 Million Investors Open Annual Reports" themed public welfare investment education activity led by the Shanghai Stock Exchange was officially launched.

World Investor Week is a global investor education and protection event initiated by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).

The theme of World Investor Week 2022 is "Investor Resilience and Sustainable Finance".
In March of this year, natural person investors in China's A-share market exceeded the 200 million mark for the first time, making them the largest investor group in major global markets. Against the backdrop of the comprehensive registration system reform, 200 million individual investors in A-shares have found and opened the regular reports of listed companies, practicing the investment philosophy under the registration system with information disclosure as the core, and deeply practicing value investment, long-term investment, and rational investment. This is of great practical significance for the reform and development of China's capital market and the sustainable development of global investors.
The "Survey on Reading of Annual Reports by Individual Investors" just completed by the Shanghai Stock Exchange shows that among nearly 93000 survey respondents, there is still a certain proportion of individual investors who do not know the way to obtain the original text of the annual reports of listed companies. The first step in using regular reports of listed companies is to find and open them. This themed public welfare investment education activity aims to mobilize industry forces such as securities companies to raise investors' awareness of using regular reports of listed companies, help investors find and open regular reports, and solidly take the first step. In addition, we will continue to promote it in conjunction with the activity The 'Understanding Reports of Listed Companies' special activity provides and promotes public courses on reading, analyzing, and using regular reports of listed companies. ”The person in charge of the relevant work of the Shanghai Stock Exchange stated.
