In the second chapter, we mainly have a review, deduction and summaryfor the past research literature to find its value and deficiency. The literature research mainlystarts from the enterprise competitiveness which is the theoretical foundation of the securitiescompetitiveness,the securities association of China, the securities affiliated institutions,academic papers and works. In the third chapter, the index has been selected,and thecompetitive index system which includes5potential internal variables and19observedinternal variables has been built, which based on the combination of elements used in the pastand a series of principles of comprehensive, targeted, science and operability. To bettershow the securities company’s operating performance in recent years, especially in2012, wehave a systematic description from four aspects involving finance, brokerage, underwritingand sponsorship activities and set of financial products in the fourth chapter.
