Walk away the moment you see “high returns”, “guaranteed returns”, or “sure profits”

Regulatory authorities themselves state that any return above 6% should raise doubts, anything over 8% is highly risky, and returns exceeding 10% mean you should expect to lose all your principal. Legitimate financial products are no longer allowed to guarantee returns or principal safety. Any losses incurred from participating in illegal fundraising are your own responsibility per regulations — no one will compensate you if things go wrong.

The former chairperson of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission stated at the Lujiazui Forum in 2018: “Any return exceeding 6% should raise doubts, anything over 8% is very risky, and returns above 10% mean you should prepare to lose all your principal.” New asset management regulations require financial institutions to “not make any guarantees regarding principal safety or returns”, and also stipulate that “when facing difficulties in fulfilling payment obligations, financial institutions must not provide any form of financial support to settle such obligations”. Hence, legitimate financial products no longer offer any principal protection. Losses from illegal fundraising are borne entirely by participants, with no third party obligated to compensate you in case of issues (China, 2018, 2021).

Book note

6%, 8%, and 10% are three lines drawn by regulators based on experience, not legal provisions. The original words were spoken in the context of cracking down on illegal fundraising, specifically targeting investment products and companies that promise high returns. This does not constitute investment advice.
