"On the morning of July 30, the person in charge of the training camp, Ms. Du, called me and said that her child had fainted," I heard. According to the news, Zhang Meihui's parents set out from home, but received bad news on the way. The child was sent to the hospital with no signs of life.reporters combed through public reports and found that this is not the first time that the death of a student at weight loss training camp has been exposed.
In 2014, Zhang Wanting, a 17-year-old girl from Shenyang who had just completed the college entrance examination, participated in a weight loss summer camp organized by Shenyang Greenhausen Impasi Fitness Club. Suddenly fell down after swimming training , and was taken to the hospital and never woke up. Although
is very risky, many people still choose various "weight loss training camps" in order to lose weight and get in shape.
Qishun (pseudonym), who weighs 220 pounds, also signed up for the Peak Weight Loss Training Camp this year. Because he found it difficult to lose weight by himself, he planned to train in Jiangsu for two months at a cost of 11,580 yuan. He said that he chose this place mainly because he saw a relatively high ranking when searching on the Internet. However, after entering the camp, he found that the actual situation was different from the "healthy weight loss" advertised, and it was about dieting and weight loss.
reporter combed through black cat complaints and saw that some students said that the courses promoted by peak weight loss before entering the camp were very rich in content, including outdoor hiking, spinning, swimming, basketball and other activities. After I went there, I walked on the treadmill all day, and everyone around me was walking on the treadmill.

Fund self-purchase has reached a small climax. Since 2021, many public fund companies have supported the development of their own funds with real money. As of August 17, 72 fund companies have subscribed for their own funds 224 times, and the scale of self-purchases is about to exceed 3 billion yuan. Both the amount and the number of self-purchases are higher than the same period last year. Why are self-purchases by fund companies increasing? Can the income generated support the real money paid by the fund company? For Christians, can they copy the "work" of fund companies?
Fund self-purchase scale is close to 3 billion yuan, and equity funds are favored. Specifically, this year, active equity funds, mainly stock and hybrid funds, are favored by fund companies for self-purchase. Among them, the net subscription amount of stock funds is 750 million yuan, and the net subscription amount of hybrid funds is 898 million yuan. The net subscription amount of bond funds was 865 million yuan.
Self-purchase of funds is mostly based on new funds. Can investors "copy the homework"? Caitong Fund research found that market conditions have no direct relationship with the scale of fund self-purchase, and fund self-purchases have limited impact on market conditions and fund performance.
Industry insiders said that self-purchase by fund companies is more of a marketing tool. Some fund companies even mobilize their managers, fund managers and employees to subscribe for their own new fund products.
Wu Xuan, managing director and chief market analyst of Debon Fund , believes that for ordinary investors, it still depends on the past investment style of the fund manager to see whether he prefers balance or seizes opportunities for sector rotation. "Regardless of the investment research level of fund companies, fund managers basically have more than 70% of the say in the entire fund product investment, so the fund manager's investment research experience and past style are critical to future performance development."
