JUNZHENG(SH:601216) Sou Hu Cai Jing·2025-09-02 11:26Core Viewpoint - The financial performance of Junzheng Group's affiliate Tianhong Fund remains robust, with a reported revenue of 2.78 billion yuan and a net profit of 917 million yuan in the first half of 2025, despite a challenging market environment. However, the disparity between the company's profits and the returns for ordinary investors highlights a significant structural contradiction within the fund [1][3][13]. Financial Performance - Tianhong Fund achieved a revenue of 2.78 billion yuan and a net profit of 917 million yuan in the first half of 2025, ranking 7th among 65 fund companies, but it was the only one in the top 7 to experience a decline in net profit compared to the same period in 2024 [3][13]. - Junzheng Group received a dividend of 125 million yuan from Tianhong Fund in the first half of 2025, while former general manager Guo Shuqiang, despite being absent from the public eye for two years, received 20 million yuan in dividends, totaling over 200 million yuan in cumulative dividends [1][8][12]. Investor Returns - The total profit generated by Tianhong Fund's related funds (including bond, stock, mixed, and money market funds) was only 9.58 billion yuan in the first half of 2025, significantly lower than competitors like Southern Fund and Fortune Fund, which reported profits of 27.36 billion yuan and 32.98 billion yuan, respectively [3][4]. - Tianhong's Yu'ebao, the largest money market fund in China, had a 7-day annualized yield of 1.3056%, ranking it in the lower tier among similar funds, indicating a decline in investor returns [4][5]. Structural Contradiction - The disparity between the stable dividends received by shareholders and the declining returns for ordinary investors has become a prominent issue for Tianhong Fund, reflecting a broader challenge within the public fund industry regarding aligning management profits with investor returns [10][13]. - The case of Guo Shuqiang, who continues to receive dividends despite his absence from management, exemplifies the disconnect between fund management and investor outcomes [8][9][12].
