China’s sovereign wealth fund snapped up shares in the nation’s Big Four lenders and said it plans to continue the purchases, a move apparently aimed at boosting the stocks.
State-owned Central Huijin Investment Ltd. said in filings to the Shanghai stock exchange on Wednesday night that it raised its stakes in Bank of China Ltd., Agricultural Bank of China Ltd., China Construction Bank Corp. and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd. It added that it would continue the purchases over the next six months, without saying to what extent.
