·Fund fee reduction, here we go·
China Securities News: On July 8th, the long-awaited dust of lowering fees for public funds was settled. Several leading fund companies, including E Fund Management, GF Fund, China Universal and others, announced that since July 10, the management rate of some of their stock products would be lowered to below 1.2%, and the custody rate would be lowered to below 0.2%, and the relevant terms of the fund contract would be revised. In addition, the management fee and custody fee for newly registered products shall not exceed 1.2% and 0.2% respectively; The management rate and custody rate of other inventory products will strive to be reduced to below 1.2% and 0.2% respectively by the end of the year. This downgrade is an industry-wide downgrade, with the first batch of companies to be downgraded being the top 20 institutions in the active equity category. For small and medium-sized fund companies and stock products that have not yet cut their fees, they will strive to adjust before the end of this year.
► 21st Century Business Herald: On May 23, CMB Financial issued a kind of public fund product 'Recruitment Value Selection Equity Financial Product Plan', breaking the 'industry rule' of charging fixed management fees for public offerings. Since June, fund companies such as Bank of China, Chuangjin Hexin, Guolian An, Fuguo, Huitianfu, Baijia, Changxin, Taixin, Wanjia, and Zhongrong have successively announced the reduction of management fees, custody fees, and C-share sales service fees for their funds. Among the fund products that have lowered management fees since the beginning of this year, fixed income products account for the majority, while the proportion of active equity funds decreasing is relatively low. The average management rate of active equity funds in 2022 was around 1.42%, which shows little change compared to the average management rate of 1.41% in 2021 and 2020.
Financial website: The total size of public funds has reached a historic high. As of May 2023, the total assets of China's public funds amounted to 277738 billion yuan, approaching the 28 trillion mark. Among them, the scale of Stock fund is 2.6 trillion yuan, and the scale of hybrid funds is 4.6 trillion yuan. The industry stated that it was reasonable for public funds to charge a management fee of 1.5% more than a decade ago. But now the overall size of the fund has increased from several hundred billion to nearly 28 trillion, and there is definitely room for adjustment in management fees. The trend should be downward. Public offering fund is a Financial inclusion product. When it reaches a certain scale, it should use a certain mechanism to let investors enjoy the results, and should not allow the relatively controlled industry to earn more than reasonable returns.
► Huatai Securities: With the gradual implementation of the industry's rate reform policies, the future rate model will continue to be optimized, and the fees for public fund products will also be more transparent and understandable. The industry will further move into the stage of high-quality development and high-level competition. This fee reduction will be implemented first by top fund companies, with a net profit decrease of 150 to 400 million yuan per year for top institutions, which has a negative impact on net profit of about 10% to 15%; Small and medium-sized institutions have decreased by 0-10 billion yuan per year, with a negative impact of approximately 10% to 40%. The short-term profitability of the public fund industry will be impacted, and at the same time, it will be transmitted to a certain extent to the securities companies controlling and participating in the public fund. In the future, top fund companies with strong comprehensive strength, investment research, and innovation capabilities are expected to increase their market share and achieve volume based pricing.
