The penalty imposed on Caixin Trust this time was a "double penalty", and the relevant person in charge of the company was also warned.

At the end of August this year, Hunan Financial Supervision Bureau approved Chairman Zhu Changshou’s qualifications.

According to data from Enterprise Alert Communication, in the first half of 2024, Caixin Trust achieved revenue of 194 million yuan and net profit of 186 million yuan.
Many trust institutions have been fined for violating regulations.
Rigid redemption has been banned for many years.
In April 2018, the central bank, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission and other departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Regulating the Asset Management Business of Financial Institutions" (hereinafter referred to as the "New Asset Management Regulations"), stipulating that asset management business is an off-balance sheet business of financial institutions. , financial institutions shall not promise to guarantee principal and return when conducting asset management business.

In August this year, punishment information released by the Hubei Supervision Bureau of the State Administration of Financial Supervision showed that BOCOM International Trust was fined 1.2 million yuan for various behaviors such as rigid payment of risky projects in violation of regulations and failure to perform post-loan management duties.
In November 2023, Industrial International Trust was fined 2.95 million yuan by the Fujian Supervision Bureau of the State Administration of Financial Supervision and Administration due to illegal issuance of land reserve trust loans and illegal rigid redemption. At that time, he was the deputy general manager of Industrial International Trust Business Approval Center. Manager Shao Yongwei was warned.
Illegal redemptions in the trust industry have a great negative impact on the entire trust industry.
The relevant person in charge of the People's Bank of China once said that rigid redemption deviates from the essence of asset management products of "being entrusted by others and managing wealth on behalf of others", raising the level of risk-free rate of return, interfering with fund prices, and not only affecting the market's role in resource allocation. It has also weakened market discipline, causing some investors to take risks and speculate, financial institutions to fail to fulfill their responsibilities, and moral hazard to be more serious.
Why do regulatory authorities strictly crack down on “rigid redemption”?
Jinle Functional Trust Industry Analyst Liao Hekai told Times Finance: "Cracking down on rigid redemption can indeed better improve the benign operating environment of the entire industry. On the one hand, it can avoid the accumulation of long-term industry risks caused by short-term bad money driving out good money, which will help To encourage professional due diligence in financial institutions, On the other hand, improving the professionalization of practitioners can improve the level of investor education in financial institutions, so that investors' actual risk preferences match the risks of actual assets, and reduce legal risks and potential risks formed in the initial redemption process. profit transfer and moral hazard, and ultimately achieve the goal of long-term sustainable operation.
