Faced with a sharp drop, old funds still have the returns of the past two years to digest, but a batch of new funds generally set up positions faster last year, and their net value encountered a sharp pullback. According to statistics on the second half of 2020, it was found that many funds with an issuance scale of over 10 billion yuan fell below the "face value" of 1 yuan.

Faced with a sharp drop, old funds still have the returns of the past two years to digest, but a batch of new funds generally set up positions faster last year, and their net value suffered a sharp pullback. According to statistics on the second half of 2020, it was found that many funds with an issuance scale of over 10 billion yuan fell below the "face value" of 1 yuan.
new funds are under pressure, and fund companies have begun to "fancy" retain customers, such as adjusting the structure of "selling" funds. For example, a leading fund company in Shanghai has long shifted its marketing focus from growth-style fund products and fund managers to long-term and stable product and fund managers. On the official website of this fund company, words such as "long-term excellence", "good foundation experience", and "treasure foundation" are placed conspicuously, becoming the keywords for new funds and continuous marketing.
2. Foreign private equity has gone through four years in China. The "money-absorbing effect" of those with excellent performance has gradually become apparent.

Against the backdrop of a violent shock in the securities market, the net value of some FOF products has grown against the market. Data shows that the overall average return of public FOF fund products with record performance this year was 5.77%, of which 52 public FOF funds achieved positive returns, accounting for 28.11%, while the yield of the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index during the same period was -17.4%.

The suspension of subscription is a private equity product under a foreign-funded institution. The third-party platform announced that it has received a notice from the administrator that the platform's Yingshiman CTA products will be suspended from subscription from March 23.
Yingshiman is the world's largest listed hedge fund company. The subscription for its private equity funds issued in China this time is suspended. It is reported that Yingshiman hopes to leave a part of the amount for overseas funds to invest in this product. The person added that this shows that the scale of the product has reached a certain order of magnitude, so that Insman must consider the issue of strategic capacity.
