撤回！券商资管申请公募牌照，退潮！

Core Viewpoint - The application for public fund licenses by securities asset management companies has significantly cooled down after a two-year policy relaxation, shifting from a rush to apply to a more rational withdrawal of applications [1][2]. Group 1: License Application Trends - Initially, four securities asset management subsidiaries, including GF Asset Management, Guangfa Asset Management, and Guozheng Asset Management, applied for public fund licenses, but by November, three of them had withdrawn their applications, leaving only Guojin Asset Management still in the queue [1][2]. - In 2023, six securities asset management companies submitted applications for public fund licenses, but only two, China Merchants Asset Management and Xingsheng Asset Management, were granted licenses. The approval of new licenses has nearly stagnated in 2024 [2][4]. Group 2: Regulatory Environment - The "One Participation, One Control" policy, which relaxed the restrictions on the number of public fund licenses, was implemented in May 2022, prompting many securities firms to seek additional licenses [2]. - Recent regulatory signals indicate that no new public fund licenses will be issued to securities asset management companies, leading to speculation that Guojin Asset Management may also withdraw its application [4]. Group 3: Transition to Public Fund Management - According to the asset management regulations established in 2018, securities firms must complete the public transformation of their "participating public collective" products by the end of 2025. Firms without public fund licenses must choose to liquidate, extend, or change management for their related products upon expiration [5][6]. - As the deadline approaches, the industry is entering a critical transition phase, with many firms opting to transfer management of their public collective products to affiliated public fund companies or to shift towards private asset management [6][7].
