talked about the changes in the scale of equity funds of fund companies in 2023. A person from the fund company said that the stock market has been adjusted a lot this year, and the scale of equity-containing assets is under great pressure. The companies with an increase in equity scale are mainly those that are biased towards ETFs in business structure. Fund companies will be affected if their active equity business accounts for a high proportion.
The above-mentioned person believes that the increase or decrease in the scale of fund companies can also reflect the resource endowments of different fund companies. Relatively speaking, the competition among leading fund companies is more intense and no obvious shortcomings in a single business are allowed. Small and medium-sized fund companies may have advantages in a certain field and can achieve significant scale growth once the "wind" comes.
