公募基金2025年亏损王！

Core Viewpoint - The "Xinyuan Consumer Selected Mixed Securities Investment Fund" is on the verge of liquidation due to significant underperformance, with a net value drop from 1 yuan to approximately 0.52 yuan, resulting in a cumulative loss of nearly 50% since its inception in March 2023. In 2025, it recorded a loss of 19.65%, making it the worst-performing active equity fund in the market during that year [1][13]. Fund Performance and Structure - As of the end of Q3 2025, the fund's combined asset size was only 0.29 billion yuan, far below the 2 billion yuan "survival line" stipulated in its contract, risking automatic termination by March 2026 if not rectified [1][11]. - The average return for active equity funds in 2025 exceeded 30%, with over 90% of products achieving positive returns, highlighting the stark contrast of Xinyuan's performance [1][18]. Investment Strategy and Style Drift - Despite its name indicating a focus on "consumption," the fund's actual investment trajectory has deviated significantly, showing a pattern of style drift and chasing hot sectors, leading to poor timing in buying high and selling low [3][15]. - The fund's top ten holdings shifted dramatically from a focus on consumer stocks to a heavy allocation in pharmaceuticals shortly after its launch, which was a sector in decline at that time [3][15]. Managerial Changes and Impact - The fund has experienced three managerial changes since its inception, with each manager exhibiting different investment styles, contributing to a lack of strategic continuity [6][19]. - The first manager, Liu Junwen, focused on pharmaceuticals but left with a return of approximately -27%. The second manager, Wang Chong, shifted focus to entertainment and consumer sectors but also recorded a similar return [6][21]. Trust and Investor Behavior - The fund's institutional holding ratio dropped from over 95% before 2025 to 42.94% by mid-2025, indicating a significant loss of trust among institutional investors [9][22]. - The shrinking fund size has exacerbated operational difficulties, making it more susceptible to liquidity shocks and risk concentration [10][23]. Industry Implications - The failure of Xinyuan Consumer Selected reflects deeper issues within the public fund industry, including product homogeneity and misleading naming practices that attract investments without delivering on promises [11][24]. - The emphasis on short-term performance and rapid fund launches without adequate research support has led to a reactive investment approach, particularly during market style shifts [11][25]. - The ongoing regulatory push for high-quality fund development emphasizes the fiduciary duty of fund managers, suggesting that poorly performing funds like Xinyuan may face accelerated exits from the market as part of a self-purification process [12][26].
