In the first six months of this year, the capital in the securities brokers sector decreased by 47.01 percent on weighted-average amid the downward adjustment of the A-share market when the CSI 300 Index dropped 27.51 percent.

As of July 20, a total of 57 securities brokers released their semiannual reports. Among which, only nine companies reported a positive growth in net income. Among the other 48 brokers, four of them even reported a loss in net income.
