What is the SME board?

Question 1: What is the SME board?

Question 2: What does SME board mean?

Small and medium-sized enterprise board-a small and medium-sized enterprise gathering board specially set up by Shenzhen Stock Exchange to encourage independent innovation. Companies in the sector generally have the characteristics of fast income growth, strong profitability, high technology content, good stock liquidity and active trading, and are regarded as the future "Nasdaq" of China.

SecondBoard is a concept corresponding to the main board, which refers to a new market that provides convenient financing channels and effective exit channels for venture capital for the development of small and medium-sized high-growth enterprises, high-tech enterprises and emerging companies. Many growth enterprise markets are also called small capital markets or emerging company markets.

Comparing the definitions of small and medium-sized board and growth enterprise market, we can see that their listing objects and functions are basically the same. Nevertheless, there are still differences between them, mainly in:

(1) The entry threshold of the small and medium-sized enterprise sector is relatively high, and the listing conditions are relatively strict, which is close to the existing main board market. GEM has low entry barriers and more relaxed listing conditions.

(2) The operation of SME board adopts non-affiliated market mode, also known as two-board parallel system, that is, SME board is affiliated to Shenzhen Stock Exchange. As a supplement to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the SME board merged with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, operating in the same way, with the same organizational management system and trading system, and even adopting the same regulatory standards. The main difference lies in the different listing standards. For example, the second board of Singapore Stock Exchange, the second board of Kuala Lumpur and Thailand Stock Exchange, and the Growth Enterprise Market of Hong Kong are all the same. In the future, the Growth Enterprise Market established in China will adopt an operation mode, that is, the Growth Enterprise Market and the main market-Shanghai Stock Exchange will operate separately, with their own organizational management system and trading system, and adopt different listing standards and regulatory standards. For example, Nasdaq in the United States, OTCExchange in Japan, ROSE and French”; in Taiwan Province Province "; New markets "; Wait, that's it.

(3) From the time sequence of its establishment, the SME board should precede the GEM. In other words, the SME board is the embryonic form of the future growth enterprise market.

Docking between Small Business Plate and Growth Enterprise Market

Growth enterprise market has become the key to build a multi-level capital market system. The construction of China Growth Enterprise Market should follow the principle of gradual progress and be implemented step by step. Small and medium-sized enterprises can be launched first, which is the first step to establish the GEM. If the SME board is regarded as the low-level form and initial mode of the GEM, then the GEM is the high-level form and target mode of the GEM. At the same time, taking the establishment of small and medium-sized enterprises as the starting point, the development idea of steadily promoting the construction of GEM market has gradually become clear. Taking the establishment of small and medium-sized enterprises as the breakthrough point, we can accumulate useful experience for promoting the construction of GEM, explore a successful development path, minimize the negative impact that the establishment of GEM may bring to the main board market, and then build a multi-level capital market system.

The title of China Growth Enterprise Market has gone through an evolution process from high-tech board to second-board trading system, second-board market to growth enterprise market, that is to say, the original listed objects should be repositioned reasonably. If from "; High-tech board "; Replace the reference with "; Second board market "; And "; Growth enterprise market "; In order to reduce the negative impact of the bursting of the Internet high-tech stock bubble, then from "; Second board market "; 、"; Growth enterprise market "; Replace the reference with "; Small and medium-sized enterprise sector "; More consideration is given to the limitations of the current legal system and the pressure of the market environment. It is more realistic to adjust the listing conditions slightly and set up a small and medium-sized enterprise board in order to avoid the resistance caused by the excessive risk brought by the establishment of the GEM. This is not so much a kind of "; Settle for second best "; The compromise choice is better than a curve savings plan that takes advantage of the trend. In this sense, the launch of the SME board is a chess piece that came into being in the process of building a multi-level capital market system "; Pathfinder stone "; .
