简介**Abstract**:
近二十年来，中国的金融市场经历了高速发展，但由于中国金融市场以及相关的监管制度的不成熟，直接投资证券的风险一直居高不下。1998年，中国开始成立了证券投资基金管理公司，并提供了可供投资的共同基金，很大程度上降低了投资者投资中国金融市场的风险。在过去4年里，这个行业快速成长，共同基金的规模及其财富效应已使其成为投资者在中国的重要投资产品。中国的基金业的发展现状如何？行业及其共同基金产品有哪些特点？与之相关的监管措施有哪些？整个行业给在北美的投资者、北美的金融机构、金融从业人员及在校的学生带来了什么样的机会？在存在机会的同时，又有哪些潜在的风险？我们有幸请到中国证监会的张旗女士，在此次讲座中，她会逐一解答这些问题，并且与听众分享她的经验。
The past twenty years have seen tremendous growth in China’s financial market. Yet since the market is still largely in its early stage and the regulations underdeveloped, the risk for equity investment remains very high. Mutual funds, a way for investors to diversify risk exposure, have emerged in China since 1998. In the past four years, China’s mutual fund industry has experienced rapid growth and has become the investors’ top choice of financial investment in China. What are the unique features of China’s mutual funds? What are the relevant regulations imposed? What kind of opportunities does it bring to investors as well as students in US? And what are the potential risks investing in such funds?  In this seminar, Ms. Qi Zhang will answer these questions, and share her insight and experience with the audience. (Note: Speech will be primary in Chinese.)
