Group 1: Portfolio Adjustments - Liu Gesong executed a "clearance-style" reduction in holdings within the photovoltaic sector, completely removing leading companies like JA Solar, Trina Solar, and Fuyao Glass from the top ten holdings of multiple funds [2][14]. - Concurrently, there was a substantial reduction in holdings of other companies in the new energy supply chain, with a notable decrease of nearly 25% in the position of Seres [2]. - The shift away from renewable energy coincided with a strong rebound in the photovoltaic sector following the announcement of the "anti-involution" policy on July 1, leading to speculation that the fund manager may have missed a recovery opportunity [2][14]. Group 2: New Investment Focus - Liu Gesong significantly increased investments in Hong Kong's internet and new consumption sectors, with the "GF Industry Selection Mixed A" fund leading this strategic pivot, acquiring a maximum holding of 10.19% in Xiaomi Group-W and 9.02% in Pop Mart [2][4]. - Other notable new investments included Hong Kong Stock Exchange, New China Life Insurance, and China Ping An, marking a first-time heavy investment in new consumption stocks [2][4]. - The "GF Small Cap Growth Mixed A" fund saw nearly half of its top ten holdings replaced by military stocks, indicating a strategic shift towards defense-related investments [4]. Group 3: Performance and Market Reaction - Liu Gesong's funds have faced performance challenges, with a total managed fund size of 31.295 billion yuan, down approximately 900 million yuan from the previous quarter, and most funds showing negative returns over the past two years [15]. - The market reacted strongly to the large-scale portfolio adjustments, with some investors expressing concerns over high-level purchases of stocks like Pop Mart and Xiaomi at relatively elevated prices [14]. - Liu Gesong's rationale for the adjustments included a positive outlook on the domestic economy and a focus on long-term investments in AI technology and new consumption, despite the mixed short-term performance of the newly favored sectors [17].
