Clp Reference: 3700/08.09.12 Promulgated: 2008-09-12 Effective: 2008-09-12

Issued: September 12 2008
Effective: As of the date of issuance

Main Contents: Article 1 of the Guiding Opinion stipulates that valuation of the different investment products held by securities investment funds shall be conducted according to the following principles:

(1) In the case of an investment product in an active market, the fair value shall be determined according to the market price if a market price is available on the day of valuation. Where no market price is available on that day, but there has been no major change in the economic environment since the most recent trading day and no major event that affects the price of securities has occurred in the securities issuing organisation, the fair value shall be determined according to the most recent market trading price.

(2) In the case of an investment product in an active market, where no market price is available on the day of valuation and there has been a major change in the economic environment since the most recent trading day or a major event that affects the price of securities has occurred in the securities issuing organisation, resulting in a potential valuation adjustment to the net fund asset value on the previous valuation day of 0.25% or more, the fair value shall be determined by adjusting the most recent market trading price, with reference to the current market price of similar investment products and other factors such as major changes.

(3) In the case of an investment product that is no longer in an active market and the potential valuation adjustment to the net fund asset value on the previous valuation day is 0.25% or more, the fair value of the investment product shall be determined by means of a valuation technology that has been proved to be reliable based on previous actual market trading prices and that has been generally accepted by market participants.
