【头条评论】 公募基金经理薪酬与业绩挂钩势在必行

干胜道陈妍村 2025年5月7日,证监会发布《推动公募基金高质量发展行动方案》,明确提出将基金经理薪酬与基金业 绩深度绑定的政策导向,带来了一场行业革命。长期以来,公募基金经理薪酬与规模相关,而不是挂钩 业绩,其薪酬"旱涝保收",与广大基金投资者的切身利益脱节,引发强烈质疑。2022—2023年间,尽管 公募基金行业整体亏损近2万亿元,行业仍然收取超过2700亿元管理费,部分明星基金经理在其管理的 产品大幅亏损情况下依然领取千万年薪。这种利益失衡,有违社会公平;公募基金经理薪酬与业绩挂 钩,势在必行。 一、风险共担。主动型基金经理不可以是"局外人",而应是与基金投资者风雨同舟、同甘共苦的"利益 共同体"。新规要求主动型基金经理将其个人财富的一定比例对其管理的产品进行"跟投",并有一定 的"锁定期",体现了风险共担原则。建议当以年度考核的产品低于业绩基准,甚至于亏损时,基金投资 者持有一年赎回产品不得收取管理费、赎回费,认购费、申购费也可以尝试建立返还给基金投资者的机 制。 二、奖贤罚庸。目前大基金公司基金经理年度薪酬普遍在200万—400万元之间。但基金经理的"高薪"与 基金投资者的净值增长缺乏关联性。产品亏 ...

二代不用说,肯定是越来越多的,这里的"二代"统一代指各种各样有背景的人。可能有小伙伴说,啥样 的人算"二代",也不太好概括,反正就是那些可以通过门第背景能超普通人捷径的那批,主要是权、钱 继承。有点类似从语言上有时候不太好区分艺术和色情,但是你看一眼就知道。二代也是这样,你碰到 了一眼就能看出来。 那这些人到底是在跟谁抢岗位呢?很多人担心他们封堵社会的上升通道,确实会堵一些,但影响也没那 么大。 很多现在爬上去的人都感慨一件事,如果自己不是毕业的早,很难有机会爬到现在的位置。一方面也是 二代们越来越多,另一方面社会机会确实变少了。 二代们一般不会掺和真正的技术岗,比如科研、技术带头人,或者创业等等,这些位置就给那些天赋极 高或者敢于冒险的人留着了。 在绝大部分场景下,二代们对真正的天赋型选手影响不大,这些天赋型的人怎么都能出头,在国内或者 去国外,甚至在古代,也可以通过科举上去。哪怕大清那种有着明确统治阶层的模式,也要定期吸收民 间高手进他们的小圈子。 真正难的是那些天赋一般或者中等偏上,但是非常努力的人,他们跟那些二代们形成了直接竞争,二代 们能力差一些,但是有背景,折中一下,跟这些"卷王"们处在了一个生态 ...
别以为只针对富人!特朗普的“富人税”将影响企业招聘和工资
Jin Shi Shu Ju· 2025-05-09 04:09
白宫新闻秘书莱维特今年2月表示,废除这一条款是特朗普政府的优先事项。特朗普在首个任期内曾试 图推动改革,但在与国会谈判中受挫。事实上,他是多年来试图废除该条款却失败的政客中的最新一 位。前特朗普顾问库德洛2017年曾对《纽约时报》坦言:"我不知道发生了什么,也不明白这条款为何 能幸存。游说压力肯定非常猛烈。" 美国总统特朗普可能通过一项新提案,颠覆共和党数十年的税收传统——该提案计划对富裕美国人、华 尔街及硅谷投资者加税。 特朗普此前曾提议对年收入超100万美元的美国人加税。分析师估算,若实施该政策,未来四年可能增 加3500亿至4500亿美元税收,具体取决于新政对工作激励和经济的影响。而"附带权益漏洞"允许投资经 理以较低的资本利得税率缴纳薪酬收入税,而非适用于普通人的个人所得税率。这意味着,替他人管理 投资所获利润的税率低于常规收入。 据媒体报道,特朗普正推动国会共和党人纳入新税改方案:对年收入超过250万美元的个人及年收入超 过500万美元的家庭加税,同时废除另类资产管理人受益的"附带权益漏洞"。 参议院财政委员会主席、爱达荷州共和党参议员克拉波(Mike Crapo)上周四表示,他对"提高高收入 阶层 ...

版权悖论:保护AI创作=扼杀人类创作?
Hu Xiu· 2025-05-08 12:17
透明法案的悖论:未落地的剑,何以斩数据黑箱? 在训练人工智能模型时使用受版权保护的材料的合理使用辩护尚未解决,这意味着政府正在考虑的各种 透明度措施还为时过早。 新兴科技公司试图在现有版权所有者的支持下打造自己的产品——未经许可或支付报酬就盗用他们的作 品。面对这一前所未有的挑战,版权法无法演化出平衡的结果。涉及生成式人工智能的更深层次、更长 期的冲突,并非科技公司与内容所有者之间的对立,而是内容所有者与其自身员工和供应商之间的对 立。 版权法在即将到来的转型中将发挥重要作用,但必须从其他途径寻求平衡的解决方案。 在一系列诉讼以及一些立法改革之后,一种新的平衡或许将出现:既能容纳新技术,又能保护版权所有 者。 数据喂养的合法争议:AI训练的"合理使用"防线能否守住? 版权所有者和代表版权所有者的组织(包括《纽约时报》和美国作家协会)已起诉科技公司,指控其在 未经同意或补偿的情况下使用其作品训练人工智能模型。包括OpenAI和Anthropic在内的科技公司主 张,他们的复制行为属于合理使用。他们援引这一法定抗辩理由,对侵犯版权的指控进行抗辩,理由是 他们的复制对于创造一种不与复制材料竞争的新产品——生成式人工 ...
安全用车透明消费 沃尔沃于柯鑫:关于“安全”我们一定标配
Zhong Guo Jing Ji Wang· 2025-05-07 08:51
在汽车工业的百年征程中,"安全"始终是衡量品牌高度的核心标尺。无论汽车企业在电动化、智能 化,以及"冰箱彩电大沙发"的赛道上如何内卷,当一切回归汽车作为"生命承载工具"这一本质的时候, 安全才是所有数字"0"前面的"1",赋予所有演进以重要价值。 与这种认知形成共鸣的,正是将安全镌刻于品牌基因的沃尔沃。"沃尔沃的品牌资产就是安全。在 造车理念上,这种安全已经根深蒂固,沃尔沃从整个工艺、研发上来讲,就是奔着安全走的。"沃尔沃 汽车大中华区销售公司总裁于柯鑫说道。 在这一理念持续深化下,沃尔沃发布消费透明承诺,消除用户在从新车销售到售后维修保养时因信 息不对称造成的疑虑和困惑,实现价格透明、产品透明以及流程透明。 提到沃尔沃汽车,很多人首先想到的大概就是"安全"这个标签。可以说,沃尔沃品牌与汽车安全早 已结下不解之缘,几乎成为消费者心中默认的"安全标杆"。 从1959年发明三点式安全带,到1991年推出侧撞保护系统(SIPS)、2018年推出对向车辆智能避让功 能,再到2024年推出Superset技术堆栈。梳理沃尔沃半个多世纪以来的安全技术革新,品牌逐渐构建起 立体的安全防护矩阵,从驾乘保护延伸至行人防护,从物 ...
