	<p>Today marks the 1-year anniversary of the launch of the first RQFII product in the US jointly brought by Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management (“Deutsche AWM”) and Harvest Global Investments Limited (“Harvest”). RQFII stands for Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor. RQFII is a policy initiative of the mainland China authorities which allow qualified holders of RQFII quota to raise funds outside of mainland China and channel such funds to directly invest into mainland China securities.</p>

	<p>In one year, Deutsche AWM and Harvest have raised over USD 1 billion asset under management in their RQFII products. Together they became the largest provider of China A-Shares ETFs in the US and Europe in terms of assets and on-exchange turnover volumes (Source: Bloomberg as of 5 November 2014). Deutsche AWM and Harvest are also the only providers of RQFII products in both the US and Europe. The RQFII product launched in the US one year ago by Deutsche AWM and Harvest was the first RQFII product created outside of Hong Kong.</p>
