Many financial services firms are holding onto their investment dollars and not currently targeting the Chinese financial services market. But while they may think they're being prudent, these companies are actually in danger of watching their investment opportunity erode. Only bolder FSIs will be able to gain a strong foothold in the $1.4 trillion market.

A ruling was introduced in Beijing, China in September that excludes new foreign investment in brokerages, adding to a growing number of rules introduced recently to delay foreign firms entering China's financial services sector. While these rules make things tough for investors in the country, meanwhile, as the world waits for China's barriers to crumble, nearby countries look set to benefit.

GE Consumer Finance is to buy a $100 million stake in Shenzhen Development Bank, subject to the approval of Chinese regulatory authorities. The move is just one of the many strategic alliances contracted by foreign banks with local banks in China in 2005. The opening-up of the Chinese banking sector presents bountiful opportunities for western firms, provided they make their investments carefully.

The last few years have been turbulent ones for South Korea's banking sector following a consumer spending boom turned sour. Yet the great interest evoked by Newbridge Capital's sale of its stake in KFB shows the market is turning a corner, with foreign players now keen to invest in the market. The presence of these players should ensure greater stability going forward.

The deal between HSBC [HSBA.L] and Bank of Communications is the biggest investment by a foreign player in a Chinese bank to date. The move is likely to trigger further deals in this area, although the current structural problems within the Chinese banking sector mean that investments remain very high risk.

By taking a stake in China's third-largest insurer, HSBC hopes to gain a foothold in the country's huge financial services market. Although the restrictions on foreign institutions are currently harsh, the 'floodgates' look set to open soon. In the meantime, HSBC is gaining valuable experience that should help it target Chinese investors' $1.4 trillion of assets.

National Australia Bank has agreed to become the first Australian issuer to offer China UnionPay credit cards. This is a significant step as it marks further access into China's financial services market. While the Australian bank is not expected to issue a large number of the cards, the ease with which people will be able to access funds between China and Australia will satisfy a consumer demand.

Many firms could save money by following HSBC's lead and moving support operations offshore. But for a company with less global presence than the banking giant, this process can be challenging. As well as choosing the right local partner, enterprises need to build support for the process among their own staff - rather than running the risk of alienating them.

After months of speculation, Royal Bank of Scotland has agreed to lead a GBP1.7 billion investment in Bank of China. As well as giving RBS a foothold in a market that could provide the growth potential UK and European markets are failing to offer, the move will please nervy investors as RBS's individual investment in China is smaller than was initially feared.
