The mainland’s growth and technology board, where ChiNext plays a role close to that of Nasdaq. Single-stock volatility tends to run higher than on the senior board, and foreign access is principally via Northbound Stock Connect and QFII / RQFII — both central to how a position is sized.
On the SZSE, eligibility reflects the exchange’s growth and technology profile. Larger SZSE Component Main Board constituents carry the turnover that supports a higher loan-to-value; ChiNext names — which play a role close to Nasdaq’s and trade under a wider 20% daily price limit — run more volatile and are financed more selectively. Single-stock volatility tends to sit above the senior Shanghai board, and foreign access via Northbound Stock Connect and QFII / RQFII is central to how a position is sized and the pledge sequenced.
What qualifies on SZSE.
SZSE ranks among the deepest equity pools anywhere; eligibility turns on the stock itself — its free float, daily traded volume, and how concentrated the line is.
For any given SZSE position, our review looks at: free float and daily traded volume against the size of the transaction; your status (controlling shareholder, director, substantial shareholder) and the disclosure that follows; the issuer’s sector and listing segment; and what the transaction must do (LTV, tenor, currency, recourse, custody).
Framework cited on SZSE.
The principal regulatory reference on SZSE is Securities Law of the PRC Art. 63. How it applies to any single transaction — reporting levels, step thresholds — turns on the underlying rules and national-law overlays, which we map against your contemplated transaction at the structuring stage alongside the counsel you appoint.
