BEIJING, Aug 19 (Reuters) - China plans to set up a state pension company with registered capital of 11.15 billion yuan ($1.72 billion), a filing by the Insurance Association of China showed on Thursday. Seventeen bank-affiliated wealth management units, insurers and state institutions will take stakes in the company, whose largest shareholders include the wealth management units of China’s big five banks, each with a stake of 8.97%. The new company will manage commercial pension funds, and entrust yuan or foreign currency-denominated assets to other asset managers for the purpose of retirement, the filing showed.
