fiivs QFI
Foreign investmentis the process in which an investor from one country makes an investment in thestock marketsof another country. Foreign investments are beneficial to a country as it brings an inflow of capital, thereby fuelling expansion, investment, employment and bringing about economic development. However, stringent regulations and requirements may deter investors from making foreign investments. Countries have introduced new classes of investors to overcome this issue. The article below explores two such types of investors and explains the requirements, regulations, and rules that need to be complied in order to become such an investor and explains the similarities and differences between FII and QFI.
What is FII?
fiistands forforeign institutional investor，如果将FII定义为未置于或注册投资的国家的投资公司或基金。FII可能包括共同基金,对冲资金, insurance firms,pension funds, financial institutions, etc. There are certain requirements and regulations that bind foreign institutional investors which may vary depending on the country in which investments are made. For example, in India, any foreign institutional investor is required to register with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) before making international investments. Not everyone can invest in international stock markets, allowing only high net worth individuals to make investments. Parties who wish to make international investments also have to open a sub-account with a FII (that is already registered with the SEC of the particular country). Another major regulation that is imposed by international investments governing bodies and authorities are the placement on limits of ownership of national firms.
What is QFI?
QFI stands forqualified foreign investor. A QFI is an individual, firm, fund that is located outside of the country in which the investment is being made. These firms can directly make investments in the foreign markets without the requirement of opening a sub-accounts with other FIIs. QFIs offer an easier route for foreign investors to invest in international stock markets without having to open sub-accounts and complying with the strict high net worth requirements. However, in order to invest, a QFI must open a demat account and trade account with depository participant firm. The demat account is the account that is used to transfer purchased shares (in a paperless manner). A trade account is the account that allows the investor trade shares online. In order to become a QFI, the investor must be from a country that adheres to anti-money laundering as well as anti-terrorist financing such as being a member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
What is the difference between FII and QFI?
早些时候，希望投资国外股票市场的外国投资者必须遵循一个繁琐的程序，即用FII开放子帐户并遵守严格的法规。尽管制定了此类法规，以确保交易的安全性和更好地控制这种要求，从而导致外国投资变得复杂且繁琐，从而阻止外国投资。QFI被引入了FII的替代方案，任何国际投资者都可以像当地公民一样投资外国股票市场。FII和QFI之间的主要区别在于，为了投资FII，投资者必须在注册的FII上开设一个子帐户，而要投资作为QFI，则不必这样的子帐户。QFI可以直接投资，只要他们开设Demat帐户，一个贸易帐户，并且来自一个遵守反洗钱和反恐融资的国家。此外，作为QFI的投资不要求个人像FII一样具有高净资产，因此，任何大小投资者都可以作为QFI进行外国投资。
