先聊个和今天市场没啥关系的事儿哈，上周五，总局印发了《商业银行代销管理办法》，为什么要聊这个呢，我一说可能大家就记起来了。 去年6月初的时候，市场一则关于 银行不得再继续代销私募基金 的传言发酵，对市场的冲击非常大，当天小盘股大跌2%以上，我当时也聊了，说这个传 闻"不可能发生，更不应该发生"，原文我删了，大家也不用回头找了，但草稿箱里还有，开头这么说的，下图。 你可以理解为，当时的这个传闻，就是借着，这回这个办法的征求意见稿的名头，传播的。 很多人问，能不能解读一下这个办法，我觉得简单来说，核心就是4件事。 1、 银行可以继续卖私募 ，方法沿用现在的，通过TOF或者私募管理人担任投顾的模式； 2、银行代销出现的风险事件太多了，爆出来的很多，没爆出来的更多，在这个办法中，相比过往的文件， 不再有银行不承担代销产品的风险管理责任的 说法 ，换句话说，以后银行不能轻飘飘地说，自己只是代销的，风险都是管理人造成的了——这导致银行对代销的准入、退出等全生命周期，会变得更 加谨慎。 3、私募管理人，做银行准入的最低门槛，是 规模不低于3亿、成立不少于3年、且3年内没有接受过惩罚 ，这意味着，过去那种明星公募基金经理，出 ...
