Now that the quota limits of QFIIs are gone, should Chinese domestic investors expect their overseas investment restrictions to go away as well? Five specialists give their views.

The country's elimination of limits on qualified foreign institutional investor and RQFII investments is welcome and could help encourage better governance and transparency.

The US bank provides direct market access to China A-shares for clients via its QFII account.

The asset management division of the Swiss private bank receives foreign institutional investor approval by China's regulators.

GSAM offers global institutions access to its $200 million China A-share quota.

James P Donovan, head of securities industry division at SWIFT discusses the firm's China operations and the impact of QDII.

While foreign firms like Invesco seek QFII licences, some local fund mangers find QFII accounts lucrative.

Custodians seek to reduce risk - and ultimately costs to clients - in China''s upcoming QFII scheme.

Regulators are due to release final details for the scheme before it goes live on December 1 that will determine whether global custodians enter the market.
