Oceanwide Holdings is a constituent of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange blue-chip index: SZSE 100 Index.
The company was also included in CSI 300 Index from June 2015[2] to November 2016. However, the company was often removed[3][4] and re-entered[5][6] the index due to low trading volume. The company was also in the "reserve list", a list of candidates for the CSI 100 Index in 2008.[7]
The company was included in the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect.[8] Its Hong Kong–based subsidiary China Oceanwide Holdings was also on the list[9] until March 2017.
The predecessor of the publicly traded company (Chinese: 深圳南油物业发展; lit. 'Shenzhen Nanyou Property Development'), was incorporated on 9 May 1989 by Shenzhen Nanyou Holdings. It became a publicly traded company on 3 May 1994.[10]
In 1998, Oceanwide Group acquired the controlling interests in the public company, making the company a SPV for backdoor listing their assets. The company became Guangcai Construction Group (光彩建设集团) until 2005.

It was diluted to 76.429% in December 2011.[16] In October 2011, the company finally relocated its registered address from Shenzhen to Beijing.[17]
In 2013, the Beijing-based public company started its diversification, which saw the company entered into the United States and Indonesia, as well as entered the financial services industry. It acquired the controlling stake of financial service companies Minsheng Securities in 2014, China Minsheng Trust in 2016, as well as 71.36% shares of Hong Kong–based public companies Hutchison Harbour Ring in 2014[18] (was renamed into China Oceanwide Holdings Limited, SEHK: 715) and Quam Financial Service Group (SEHK: 952) in 2017.

In November 2015 China Oceanwide Group acquired 80% stake of another power plant project, located in Java, from China Oceanwide Holdings Group for HK$1. The project was still in tender stage, thus had a low accounting value.[40]
