The quality of new Chinese mainland initial public offerings are prompting investors to allot more funds for first-time stock sales.

Industry analysts expect the capital reserved for IPOs has soared to more than 300 billion yuan (US$37.5 billion) from nearly 200 billion yuan a month earlier. Regulators are expected to pump mainland bourses with more quality listings.

They warned, however, if the trend persists, the secondary market will likely lose steam and face a correction. Key stock gauges have jumped more than 40 percent this year.
