Abstract:From March 3rd 2003, a new tick size policy of closed-fund has been taken into effect at Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, which changed from "1 fen" to "0.1 fen". The new policy is aimed to improve the closed-fund market liquidity and "splint arbitrage mode". By comparing the difference of three market quality measurement indicators including bid-ask spread, depth and volume before and after the tick size changed, we found that to some extent the "0.1 fen" tick size improved the closed-fund market quality such as liquidity and trading activity
