The insurance fund will be merged into the Insurance Regulatory Bureau.

It is reported that China Securities Investor Protection Fund Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the "insurance fund") will be incorporated into the Insurance Regulatory Bureau, and the insurance fund will be the full budget allocation management unit of the Ministry of Finance. It was originally responsible for the reception and handling of investor complaints.

According to official website, the insurance fund, the company was established in June 2005 and registered on August 30, 2005. Is a wholly state-owned protection fund company, funded by the State Council, with a registered capital of 6.3 billion yuan allocated by the Ministry of Finance. After it is put into operation, its main source of income every year is the interest generated by the freezing of subscription funds when new shares are issued. 20 1 1 year freezes the issuance of new shares to 17.83 trillion yuan.

Although the insurance fund is a non-profit organization, its nature is a company. The main responsibilities are to raise and operate investor protection funds, supervise the risks of securities companies, participate in the disposal of problem brokers, and undertake investor education and litigation dispute handling functions.

Zhuang Mu, general manager of the insurance fund, said at the online forum of the investor protection network fund channel that the next step of the investor protection bureau is mainly to establish an investor dispute mediation and arbitration mechanism. It is necessary to change the understanding of the concept of investor protection and the previous practice of attaching importance to financial institutions and ignoring investors' demands.

The establishment of the investor protection department dates back to 20 10. At that time, the central bank put forward the idea of setting up a special financial consumer protection agency following the example of the Federal Reserve, but this idea has never been fully recognized by the industry. Judging from the current results, the "one plus three" separate management framework is still adopted.

In addition to the Insurance Regulatory Bureau of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, according to media reports, the Insurance Consumer Rights Protection Bureau under the China Insurance Regulatory Commission has also been established. Both the China Insurance Regulatory Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission have set up insurance protection funds and securities investment protection funds, and there is also a Consumer Protection Committee under the Banking Association.
