The wealth management operations of Chinese banks have continued to see strong growth during the transitional period for new asset management rules launched in 2018.

At least five banks had outstanding wealth management product (WMP) balances that were in excess of 2 trillion yuan as of the end of 2020, including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), China Merchants Bank, China Construction Bank (CCB), Agricultural Bank of China (ABC), and Postal Savings Bank of China (PSBC).

Chinese banks are also pushing hard to complete the transition from expected yield WMP’s to net value WMP’s as mandated by regulators under new asset management rules released in 2018.
