Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (simplified Chinese: 合格境内机构投资者; traditional Chinese: 合格境內機構投資者; pinyin: Hégé Jìngnèi Jīgòu Tóuzīzhě), also known as QDII, is a scheme relating to the capital market set up to allow financial institutions to invest in offshore markets such as securities and bonds. Similar to QFII (Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor), it is a transitional arrangement which provides limited opportunities for domestic investors to access foreign markets at a stage where a country/territory's currency is not traded or floated completely freely and where capital is not able to move completely freely in and out of the country.
