China wealth manager Zhongzhi faces $37bn asset shortfall
Chinese wealth manager Zhongzhi Enterprise Group has told investors that it is severely insolvent with a financial shortfall of up to 260 billion yuan ($36.7 billion), as an economic slowdown and property slump cast shadows over the country's financial sector.
In a letter issued this week to investors that was leaked on the Weibo social platform, Zhongzhi placed its liabilities at 420 billion yuan to 460 billion yuan against assets of 200 billion yuan.
The value of Zhongzhi's debt and equity investments have plunged, and only a limited amount will likely be recoverable, it said. The letter apologized for the string of essential defaults in investment products tied to the group. It did not provide specifics regarding its portfolio.
Founded in 1995, Zhongzhi is privately held and also involved in businesses like coal mining. It held a 32.99% stake in Zhongrong International Trust, a leading Chinese asset manager, as of the end of 2022.
Zhongrong has paused payments on a portion of its investment products. There is speculation on Zhongzhi's financial woes have played a role.
Zhongzhi also holds stakes in other financial institutions like Hengbang Property Insurance and Hengqin Life Insurance, stoking concern that its troubles could ripple further.

(There was some big meeting a few weeks ago that Xi attended at the PBOC-where he’s only been a few times officially-and all the insolvent property companies begged to be bailed out and extended moar “loans”-meanwhile they (PBOC) been buying up yuan so it went up in value by 2% in one week-they are getting closer to losing control of the prop markets and that is 70% of its stated GDP)
Gonna have reverse affect (not the higher end stuff) yet) but will slow sales because the lower to medium level products will not be bought it will crater the share price over time
Basically sepukku cuz it wont survive on just high end sales as customers switch down
Most of it over priced imo and better brands for cheaper
I think they are fed up with the control structure (not an endorsement either)
Depends on what the zaibatsu companies do cuz they control them (Yakuza) but some of the mgmt is yakuza.
Total faction fighting imo
