Beijing Fund Town has served over 2,800 institutions.
On May 30, Beijing Fund Town celebrated its 11th anniversary, having grown alongside the expansion and opening of the capital’s service industry. Driven by service standardization and digital transformation, the town has accelerated its development as a professional service platform for China’s private equity fund industry. In recent years, it has served over 2,800 fund-related and industrial chain institutions, becoming the preferred location for fund institutions establishing operations in Beijing.
From the Service Trade Innovation and Development Guidance Fund to the Beijing New Materials Industry Investment Fund, from the first foreign-invested private securities investment fund manager in Beijing to the first private equity secondary market fund following the launch of the private equity fund share transfer pilot in Beijing, a number of representative institutions have taken root here.
Beijing is the only national comprehensive demonstration zone for expanding and opening the service industry in China, and it is also one of the most developed cities for the private equity fund industry. Standardization is a foundational project to enhance the competitiveness of the service industry. As early as 2017, Beijing Fund Town began piloting the national fund industry service standardization pilot. In 2019, it released and implemented China’s first fund industry service standard system, covering seven major categories and 26 service items, including enterprise registration, compliance consulting, registration and filing, and talent services. This integrated the entire process into a standardized track, significantly reducing the time and labor costs for入驻 institutions.
The standardization practice of Beijing Fund Town was successfully selected as a second batch of reform and innovation practice cases for Beijing’s “Two Zones” construction. In recent years, the Fund Town has also addressed the practical pain points of financial risk prevention and control by leading the drafting of two recommended national standards, “Financial Institution Risk Management/Terminology” and “Financial Institution Risk Management/Framework,” in collaboration with the China National Institute of Standardization, filling a gap in China’s financial risk prevention and control standardization.
“Whether the standards can hold up is best judged by the market,” said a relevant person in charge of Beijing Fund Town. The deepening of standardized services has driven a systematic leap in the overall service quality of the town. To date, the Fund Town has served over 2,800 fund-related and industrial chain institutions. The number of newly registered fund managers has accounted for more than 50% of the total new registrations in Beijing for several consecutive years. In 2025, among private equity fund managers relocating from other provinces to Beijing, the proportion choosing to move to the town reached 76.9%.
The fund industry is an important bridge connecting capital with the real economy. The Fund Town actively guides its入驻 institutions to practice the concept of “investing early, investing small, investing long-term, and investing in hard technology,” promoting deep integration of finance with advanced manufacturing, green and low-carbon industries, and others. According to incomplete statistics, equity venture capital institutions in the Fund Town have made over 1,600 external investments, with more than 250 invested companies going public. Among these, investment proportions in ten key service areas encouraged by the state, such as information technology and informatization, healthcare, energy conservation and environmental protection, modern logistics, and new consumption, have been increasing year by year.
The “Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Expansion and Quality Improvement of the Service Industry,” released on April 21, explicitly called for promoting the digital transformation of the service industry. Beijing Fund Town has actively embraced this trend, making technological empowerment a key engine for enhancing service capabilities. From building a cloud-based digital service platform to independently developing a series of tools such as an app, risk control system, public opinion system, and big data service platform, Beijing Fund Town has now fully achieved digitalization and intelligence for its main service items.
With the wave of “artificial intelligence+” sweeping in, the Fund Town has jointly established an “AI+Finance” innovation laboratory with Zhongguancun College and the Zhongguancun Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. It has successively launched projects such as the “Artificial Intelligence Lecture Hall” and the “AI+Quantitative” training camp, accelerating innovation breakthroughs, results implementation, and talent cultivation in the application of AI in the fund field, actively exploring innovative models for the deep integration of technology and financial services.
