年内新成立公募FOF达31只 同比增长244.44%

Core Viewpoint - The public fund of funds (FOF) industry is experiencing rapid expansion, with a significant increase in the number of newly established funds driven by strong demand for stable and value-added investment products and continuous product innovation [1][2]. Group 1: Market Activity - On February 11 and 12, eight public fund institutions launched a total of nine new public FOFs, contributing to a total of 31 new public FOFs established in 2023, representing a year-on-year increase of 244.44% [1][2]. - The new public FOF market is active, with 13 public FOFs announcing early closure of fundraising this year [2]. Group 2: Investor Demand - In a low-interest-rate environment, traditional bank deposit yields are insufficient to meet investor needs, leading to a significant rise in demand for stable, low-volatility products [2]. - Public FOFs are becoming key vehicles for "deposit migration" funds, as they allow for cross-asset and multi-strategy allocation [2]. Group 3: Product Innovation - The asset allocation dimensions of public FOFs have expanded, with continuous product innovation, including the growth of ETF-FOF products that combine the advantages of both ETFs and FOFs [3]. - The configuration logic of public FOFs has evolved from a traditional stock-bond binary structure to a more diversified approach, including A-shares, QDII funds, public REITs, and commodity funds [3]. Group 4: Institutional Strategy - Public institutions are shifting their FOF product strategies towards cross-market, cross-asset, low-volatility, and high-liquidity configurations, focusing on building a "multi-asset + quantitative + systematic" capability [4]. - The traditional three-tier division of labor in FOF investment is evolving into a two-tier structure or even eliminating the division, allowing FOF managers to directly engage in asset allocation and seek excess returns [4][5].
