Core Viewpoint - The West Asset Management's "Ji Ji Hong" three-month holding mixed fund of funds (FOF) has triggered the termination clause and officially started the liquidation process due to its net asset value falling below 200 million yuan by May 17, 2025, leading to the failure of the company's only FOF product [2][4][14]. Fund Overview - The "Ji Ji Hong" FOF was established on May 17, 2022, and was designed with an "internal credit enhancement" feature, where fund managers subscribed with at least 10 million yuan of their own funds and committed to holding it for at least three years [4][7]. - The fund's structure showed that institutional holdings consistently exceeded individual holdings, indicating a focus on aligning the interests of the management with investors [4][6]. Performance Metrics - As of the first quarter of 2025, the A-class net value of the fund had decreased by 14.31%, while the C-class fell by 15.38%, significantly underperforming the benchmark by 16.98% and 18.05% respectively [9][12]. - The fund's total scale dropped to 0.36 billion yuan by the end of 2024 and fell below 20 million yuan by the first quarter of 2025, well below the liquidation threshold [12][14]. Management Background - Fund managers Ji Chengxiang and Liu Muling had no prior public fund management experience, with Ji having 17 years in the securities industry and Liu being a rising star in asset management [7][9]. - The fund's management faced challenges, resulting in a loss of 1.9872 million yuan, leading to the eventual liquidation of the fund [9][12]. Company Context - West Asset Management's shareholder turmoil, including the freezing of shares held by its second-largest shareholder, has contributed to a decline in investor confidence, although it did not directly affect fund operations [12][13]. - The company has a long-standing "strong bond, weak stock" structure, with over 87% of its management scale in bond and money market funds, while equity products account for less than 7% [14].
