UPDATE 1-Qatar Holding granted $1 bln quota to invest in China's capital markets

* Move is part of China's efforts to get long-term investors into its markets
* Macquarie, HSBC among 11 investors granted quotas in November

SHANGHAI, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Qatar Holding LLC, the investment arm of Qatar's sovereign
wealth fund, has been granted a $1 billion quota to invest in China's capital markets, as
Beijing steps up efforts to introduce long-term foreign investors to try and stabilize its
volatile stock market.
Official Chinese media reported in June that Qatar was applying for a $5 billion quota under
China's Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) scheme, the main channel for foreign
investment in Chinese stock and bond markets.
QFII quotas are currently capped at $1 billion per investor although official media has
reported Chinese regulators are looking at increasing the cap.
In addition to Qatar Holding, 10 more foreign investors, including the Ontario Pension
Board, Macquarie Bank and HSBC Holdings Plc were also granted fresh or additional
quotas in November, according to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), the
foreign exchange regulator.
In total, SAFE granted $2.48 billion of QFII quotas last month, slightly down from a record
$2.75 billion granted in October.
China in April raised the ceiling of the overall QFII scheme to $80 billion from a pervious
target of $30 billion, and has been shifting its target investor base in the QFII scheme to
long-term players such as sovereign, pension and endowment funds.
China has so far granted $36 billion worth of quotas to 165 QFII investors.No. QFII Name Obtained QFII Status Quota
