Application Guide for
Market Value Management Officer (MVM Officer)
Professional Certificate Training Program
Currently, market value management has become a core issue for listed companies in terms of compliant operations and value enhancement. Domestic and international regulatory systems continue to refine requirements through explicit documents: At the top-level design, Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No. 10 - Market Value Management and the "New Nine Policies" establish core principles, emphasizing that improving corporate quality is fundamental and strictly prohibiting "false market value management" behaviors such as market manipulation and insider trading; the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), through documents like Shanghai Stock Exchange Self-Regulatory Supervision Guidelines for Listed Companies No. 9 - Evaluation of Information Disclosure Work, incorporates the performance of main responsibilities for market value management into the information disclosure evaluation system, requiring listed companies to strengthen their responsibilities. Meanwhile, it implements the requirements of Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No. 10 - Market Value Management that constituent companies of major indices formulate market value management systems and companies with long-term price-to-book ratio below 1 disclose valuation improvement plans; as a key implementer of Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No. 10 - Market Value Management, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) refines requirements for information disclosure and investor interaction through this guideline, clarifying that enterprises must establish a regular communication mechanism, encouraging the compliant use of capital tools to achieve linkage between market value and performance, and strictly prohibiting behaviors that mislead the market; the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) builds a regulatory framework for market value management in the Main Board Listing Rules.
Regarding how to do well market value management, "Guidance No. 10 for the Supervision of Listed Companies - Market Value Management" (Issued in November 2024) clearly states that ESG performance is an important support for market value management, incorporates ESG information into the core content of communication between listed companies and investors, and guides enterprises to enhance investment value through compliant ESG practices. In the meanwhile, Measures for the Administration of Information Disclosure of Listed Companies (Revised Draft for Comment)" (Issued in December 2024) adds provisions related to sustainable development information disclosure, emphasizes that ESG information disclosure must be true and accurate, prohibits excessive packaging or provision of misleading information under the "cover" of ESG, and clarifies that acts such as "greenwashing" violate the relevant provisions of the Securities Law. Additionally, the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) have all put forward corresponding requirements regarding ESG/CSR.
The core of this diagram is ESG, like a compass guiding corporate development.
The green words in the middle, such as "Long-term Value", "Evergreen Business", "Trustworthy", and "Sustainable Development", represent the value that ESG can bring to enterprises. They are the goals that enterprises can achieve by practicing ESG concepts, such as obtaining long-term development value, realizing the long-term operation of enterprises, becoming a trusted business entity, and achieving a sustainable development model.
The outermost circle of black words, such as "Market Value Management", "Supply Chain Management", "Corporate Governance", "Risk Prevention and Control", and "Compliance Management", are ESG-related services that MVM Officers and other service providers can provide for enterprises. These services can help enterprises achieve the value brought by ESG, assist enterprises in managing market value, supply chain, corporate governance, risk and compliance, etc., so that enterprises can truly gain long-term value, achieve evergreen business and other ESG value goals.
