Regulators such as the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) have introduced a series of policies and measures to encourage cross-border capital flows, including expanding the investment quota of foreign investors in the onshore bond market, making it easier for foreign investors to participate in China's bond market. These policy measures have provided more opportunities for Chinese brokerages and strengthened their position in the cross-border income swap space.
According to the "Report on the Development of OTC Business" released by the China Securities Association, income swap business and OTC options business are important parts of the OTC derivatives business of securities companies. In the cross-border income swap business, it can be divided into two categories: AB swap and cross-border income swap. The former mainly serves quantitative private equity clients, while the latter provides support for cross-border transactions and serves some private equity firms.

In particular, in terms of cross-border business, these leading brokerages cooperate more with professional investors and hedging** in the selection of counterparties to provide more investment opportunities.
