The article talks about the surge of mutual fund investors in China. Since the second half of 206, the soaring net value of mutual funds has attracted many to invest in the stock market. By the end of October 2007, the number of fund investors had reached 90 million. The Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission has started to strengthen controls over the rapidly expanding funds by issuing Document 44," which requires all fund management companies to stick to long-term and stable operational plans.

The article claims that an influx of small investors eager to earn money puts heavy pressure on fund managers in China. It says that the debut of fund management operations in China came in March 1998 when the China Securities Regulatory Commission approved two closed-end funds, the Kaiyuan and Jintai. It explains that since then, the Chinese fund management business has gone through eight years of twists and turns and has become more prosperous than anyone could have predicted at the start.
