Several major announcements were made over the weekend. How will the A-shares perform this Monday? Is China Securities Finance planning another one-day show, or are they really preparing for sustained efforts this time?

Let’s take a look at what’s happened:

For brokerages, regulators mentioned they would moderately relax capital requirements and leverage limits. The message is clear—stop the price wars and start competing on value.

Top executives at fund companies are also under scrutiny. This year, chairmen and senior management must use at least 30% of their performance-based pay to buy their own funds. That’s a tough move, making them experience their own products firsthand.

It gets even tougher: fund managers whose performance has lagged the benchmark by more than 10% over the past three years and who have posted losses? Their salaries will be cut by 30%. This operation shows they mean business.

There’s also news on insurance funds. The National Financial Regulatory Administration has adjusted risk factors. For holdings of the CSI 300 and the CSI Dividend Low Volatility 100 Index for more than three years, the risk factor drops from 0.3 to 0.27; for regular STAR Market stocks held over two years, it drops from 0.4 to 0.36.

How big of a wave will all this make? We’ll find out on Monday.
