The international forum entitled Capital Market & Funding Mechanisms for a Low Carbon Economy in China was held in Shanghai on May 18, 2015. JIC Trust was the only trust company invited to the forum. The firm participated in a session called “Foundations for a Viable Carbon Market: Role of Financial Institutions.”

While discussing the role that domestic financial institutions can play in bolstering a cleaner energy market, VP of JIC Trust, Yu Hai, stressed the concept of ‘green bonds’ as a means of utilizing social capital and improving market efficiency. This concept can be applied to key financing sectors and help to foster green development within the Chinese economy.

JIC Trust has also been working closely with leading energy companies like Shunfeng Photovoltaic and Zhenfa Energy since early 2014. This cooperation has comein response to the national initiative geared at promoting the solar energy market. So far, the company has invested nearly RMB 3 billion in clean energy programs. In 2015, the company successfully launched JIC No.1 Fountain Assembled Funds, the first carbon emission trust product in China. This represented an attempt to fuel the domestic carbon trading market, promote energy conservation and optimize the overall allocation of carbon emissions. This investment product is designed to help serve the greater good.
