The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) is advancing the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) market by fostering high-quality projects, enhancing transparency, and supporting participants committed to long-term development. These measures aim to improve operational performance, attract investment, and deliver enduring value to investors.

Strengthening Governance and Strategic Oversight

Leading REITs projects, such as AVIC Jingneng Photovoltaics, JD Storage, and China Resources Youchao, have established specialized REITs Operating Officer sat the originator level. These roles drive post-listing operations, align group strategies with REITs development goals, and ensure efficient resource utilization and governance.

Performance Incentives Driving Operational Success

To maximize efficiency, several projects have implemented market-driven incentive systems that directly link operational outcomes to team and individual rewards. This has fostered accountability and improved performance. Notably, six REITs on the SSE announced fundraising expansions in 2024, reflecting diversified asset portfolios and cross-regional growth that continue to draw strong investor interest.

Enhancing Transparency and Market Confidence

REITs depend on information disclosure for price discovery and investor trust. Originators and management teams are increasingly prioritizing communication with investors, while the SSE streamlines regulatory requirements to improve data clarity and accessibility. Through classified supervision, the SSE provides targeted support to participants adopting best practices, reinforcing transparency and market integrity.

Strengthened Engagement with Comprehensive Services

The SSE's full-chain roadshow service platform enhances engagement by connecting investors with project stakeholders, improving visibility for quality assets, and facilitating efficient investment matchmaking. These efforts boost investor confidence and promote sustained market growth.

Paving the Path to a Mature, Resilient REITs Market

By combining governance excellence, performance-based incentives, and enhanced transparency, the SSE is driving China’s REITs market toward maturity and global competitiveness. These initiatives create a stable environment for quality investments while addressing evolving market demands. Through its strategic reforms, the SSE is building a resilient foundation that benefits investors, strengthens confidence, and sets new benchmarks for sustainable growth in the REITs sector.
