1. Domestic consignment agencies.

Funds that meet the conditions for mutual recognition by the China Securities Regulatory Commission can be entrusted to mainland sales agencies for sale, and the specific trading process is the same as that of domestic funds. According to the data of Tiantian Fund, there are currently 18 Hong Kong stock funds (excluding 11 different currencies of the same fund) that meet the conditions for mutual recognition

At present, the platform sells four funds, including JPMorgan Pacific Securities RMB, Schroders Asia High Dividend Equity and Bond Fund, JPMorgan Asia Total Income RMB and Zeal Promotion China, with rates basically the same as mainland funds and a 1% discount.

In addition, there are also fund companies, banks, etc. that sell the above funds, such as Tianhong Fund provides consignment sales of Xingjian Promotion China Fund, and JPMorgan Asia Total Income Bond Fund can be purchased at Shanghai Investment JPMorgan Fund Company and some banks.

The advantage of the above channels is that you can participate in the subscription with a minimum of 10-100 yuan and enjoy the convenience of global investment.

 Taking JPMorgan Pacific Securities as an example, the fund is an equity fund, with a stock position of 99.1% in the first quarter, 45.3% in Japan, 18.5% in China, 9.4% in Australia, and 7.1% in Taiwan, which can make up for the regret that domestic funds invest less in the Japanese stock market.
