涨势正酣却黯然清盘，多只发起式基金倒在黎明前

Core Viewpoint - Several funds have announced liquidation despite rising net values, particularly in the strong-performing pharmaceutical sector, due to failure to meet the required scale after three years [1][2]. Group 1: Fund Performance and Liquidation - Many initiated funds have faced liquidation as they failed to pass the "scale test" after three years, even if they had strong performance [2]. - As of June 15, the market was led by sectors like "new consumption" and innovative pharmaceuticals, with related thematic funds showing significant gains [3]. - For example, the Huazhong Innovation Pharmaceutical Fund had a net value increase of 22% by April 1, but had to liquidate due to a total scale of only 11 million yuan, far from the 200 million yuan threshold [4]. Group 2: Challenges of Initiated Funds - Initiated funds face significant challenges due to their low starting point for fundraising, which makes them more susceptible to market fluctuations [5]. - The automatic termination clause for initiated funds means that even with good performance, they must achieve rapid scale growth within three years to avoid liquidation [5]. - In contrast, regular public funds only need to maintain a net asset value of at least 5 million yuan for 60 consecutive days to avoid liquidation risk [5]. Group 3: Market Dynamics and Fund Management - The market has seen accelerated rotation in recent years, leading to a cautious approach from investors regarding the sustainability of fund performance [6]. - High operational costs associated with smaller initiated funds can erode returns, making it difficult to attract new investments [7]. - Successful cases of initiated funds overcoming scale challenges highlight the necessity of strong performance and support from distribution channels [8][9]. Group 4: Success Stories - Some initiated funds have successfully scaled up, such as Yongying Advanced Manufacturing, which grew from 300 million yuan to 11.5 billion yuan due to strong performance in the robotics sector [8]. - Other successful examples include funds like China Europe Era Pioneer, which achieved a cumulative return of 112% since its inception [8]. - The competitive landscape for funds is intense, and achieving significant scale requires not only good performance but also strategic support and resources [9].
