新能源基金三年考：分散投资是关键

Core Viewpoint - A significant number of newly established renewable energy-themed funds from the 2022 market peak are entering liquidation due to insufficient scale and poor performance, highlighting the risks associated with chasing market trends and the need for improved investment strategies [1][2][5]. Group 1: Fund Performance and Liquidation - As of the first quarter of this year, nearly half of the renewable energy-themed funds have assets below 200 million yuan, triggering automatic liquidation procedures [1]. - Since May, six renewable energy-themed funds have announced liquidation, primarily those launched during the 2022 market peak, which have failed to maintain the required asset levels [2]. - The decline in fund net values is attributed to factors such as oversupply in the photovoltaic sector, intensified price wars in energy storage, and slowing demand for electric vehicles, leading to significant underperformance against benchmarks [2][3]. Group 2: Industry Reflection and Recommendations - The public fund industry has reflected on the shortcomings exposed by the previous renewable energy market cycle, emphasizing the need to avoid "chasing hot trends" and to establish a counter-cyclical issuance mechanism [1][5]. - Fund companies are encouraged to prioritize research capabilities and long-term performance in manager evaluations, moving away from a "scale-first" mentality [5]. - Investors are advised to approach thematic investments with caution, avoiding concentrated bets on single sectors and considering diversification to mitigate risks [6]. Group 3: Notable Fund Performers - Despite the overall trend, some funds have managed to retain investor interest and grow in size due to strong performance, such as the fund managed by Yang Ruiwen, which has a scale of nearly 6 billion yuan and has outperformed its benchmark by over 40 percentage points [3]. - Another fund managed by Li Bo has also shown impressive returns, with a yield of 57.58% since inception, significantly exceeding its benchmark [4].
