突发，广发基金顶流刘格菘卸任广发多元新兴，140%回报基金由周智硕单独管理

Core Viewpoint - Liu Gesong, a prominent fund manager at GF Fund, has stepped down from managing the GF Multi-Dimensional Emerging Stock Fund, which achieved a return of 140.03% during his tenure, marking it as the best-performing fund under his management [1][4][7]. Fund Management Changes - The change in management is officially termed as "dismissal of the fund manager," with Zhou Zhishuo taking over sole management responsibilities [5]. - The announcement emphasizes that Liu Gesong will remain with GF Fund, indicating that this is a "normal work adjustment" [1][7]. Performance Context - Despite the strong performance of the GF Multi-Dimensional Emerging Stock Fund, questions arise regarding the rationale behind the dismissal of the best-performing fund, especially in light of industry pressures and fee reforms [4][8]. - Liu Gesong continues to manage five other funds with a total scale of 29.463 billion yuan, maintaining a focus on key stocks such as Siasun, Shengbang, Yiwei Lithium Energy, and Sunshine Power [7]. Market Speculation - The management change has led to speculation about whether the scale of 29.463 billion yuan has become overwhelming for Liu, as larger fund sizes complicate asset allocation and rebalancing [8]. - The industry is witnessing a trend of star fund managers stepping down or leaving, with several notable managers transitioning to private equity [9]. Industry Trends - The public fund industry is experiencing a shift from "license dividends" to "capability competition," with a notable decline in the personal brand value of star managers, while platform value is becoming more prominent [9]. - The ongoing management pressures in the industry suggest that while "reducing burden" may alleviate short-term stress, optimizing portfolio strategies and enhancing the performance of remaining products are crucial for maintaining investor trust [9].
