存款利率再降！数百理财产品调整收益目标，定存还是买理财？

Core Viewpoint - The central theme of the articles is the recent monetary policy adjustments by the central bank, including a reduction in deposit and loan interest rates, which has led to a significant decrease in the performance benchmarks of various wealth management products offered by banks [1][2][6]. Group 1: Monetary Policy Changes - In May, the central bank implemented a "combination punch" of monetary policy, reducing the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage points and the policy interest rate by 0.1 percentage points, resulting in a corresponding decrease in the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) by approximately 0.1 percentage points [2][6]. - Major state-owned banks initiated their first deposit rate cuts of the year, with the interest rate for demand deposits dropping to 0.05%, nearing "zero interest," and the one-year deposit rate falling below 1% [2][3]. Group 2: Wealth Management Product Adjustments - Over 300 wealth management products adjusted their performance benchmarks in May, with some products experiencing reductions exceeding 100 basis points [1][2][3]. - For instance, the benchmark for a specific product from Xingyin Wealth Management was adjusted from an annualized range of 2.20%-4.15% to 1.60%-2.60%, with the upper and lower limits reduced by 60 basis points and 155 basis points, respectively [3][5]. Group 3: Market Trends and Performance - As of early June, the average annualized yield for open-ended fixed-income wealth management products was 2.85%, while the one-year yield averaged 2.41%, indicating a downward trend in yields [6][7]. - The total scale of the wealth management market surpassed 30 trillion yuan, driven by the "deposit migration" effect as deposit rates fell [7][11]. Group 4: Investor Demand and Product Supply Mismatch - There is a notable mismatch between investor risk preferences and the types of wealth management products available, with 46.69% of investors having a risk preference of C3 or higher, while only 4.31% of products fall into the R3 category or above [13][14]. - The low-risk perception of wealth management products has limited their sustainable development, as the supply of low-volatility products does not align with the growing demand for diverse investment options [13][14].
