In the first half of 2026, non-bank financial companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange delivered impressive results. Of the 18 listed companies that have disclosed half-year reports, 16 achieved growth, and more than 30% grew by over 50%. Among them, GF Securities expects attributable net profit of 11 billion to 12 billion yuan, up 70% to 85% year on year; Changjiang Securities hit a record high of 3.192 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 83.80%; Yuexiu Capital expects growth of 75% to 95%; Huaxi Securities and Northeast Securities posted 972 million yuan and 764 million yuan respectively, up 89.71% and 77.49% year on year. The strong performance was driven by active capital market trading, which boosted brokerage, margin financing and securities lending, and proprietary trading income, while companies also advanced wealth management transformation, deepened investment banking in key regions, and expanded active asset management scale. Looking to the second half, several companies said they will adhere to high-quality development, continue deepening transformation, and strive to reward shareholders with excellent results.

After the chairman position remained vacant for five months, Orient Fund has welcomed a new leader. He Junyan, president of controlling shareholder Northeast Securities, has been appointed chairman. Liu Hongpeng, who had been acting chairman and general manager, has been promoted to vice chairman and has also taken over the role of head of finance. The announcement shows that former deputy general manager Zhang Ke and former head of finance Hao Likun have left their posts due to work adjustments and moved to other positions.

However, its net value has pulled back 22.93 percent since the third quarter began, while the Orient Huixin fund he manages has fallen 29.7 percent. Among the company's 127 funds, only six actively managed equity funds exceed 1 billion yuan in size, while 78 are small or micro funds below 200 million yuan. In 2025, the company reported revenue of 653 million yuan and net profit of 81 million yuan.

As of July 15, 73 securities firms have issued a combined total of more than 1.35 trillion yuan in onshore bonds since the start of 2026, a year-on-year increase of over 96%. Recently, a number of listed brokers including China Merchants Securities, GF Securities, Guolian Minsheng, Soochow Securities, and Zhongtai Securities have received intensive approvals from the China Securities Regulatory Commission to issue large corporate bonds, while Shenwan Hongyuan obtained registration approval for perpetual subordinated bonds in July. In a low interest rate environment, enthusiasm for broker bond subscriptions is running high. Taking China Galaxy Securities as an example, the first tranche of its fifth corporate bond issue carried a coupon rate of 1.60% with a subscription multiple of 3.8722 times, while the second tranche had a coupon rate of 1.67% and a subscription multiple of 3.165 times. At the same time, the credit ratings of bonds issued by several brokers, including Northeast Securities, Great Wall Securities, Huaan Securities, and Zheshang Securities, have been upgraded from AA+ to AAA. Fitch also raised the long-term issuer default ratings of CICC and CICC International from BBB+ to A-. Analysts point out that this surge in bond issuance is not only about capital replenishment, but also serves as strategic capital support amid a wave of mergers and acquisitions. Leading institutions are using bond financing to pre-position M&A capital in advance, forming a chain of integration, bond issuance, and further expansion, while small and medium-sized brokers face increasing pressure from financing difficulties.
