A-shares showed an "N-shaped" trend, Hong Kong stocks performed better, and US stocks achieved a "V-shaped reversal". By the end of June 2025, the number of A-share listed companies reached 5,420, an increase of 37 from the end of 2024, and the total market value exceeded 100.02 trillion yuan, hitting a record high.

They have more flexible investment strategies compared to public funds, lower liquidity, and can achieve differentiated returns through personalized strategies. Their operation must meet strict standards for qualified investors and emphasize the principle of self-risk assumption [5] - The development of Chinese private securities investment funds has evolved from disorderly exploration to standardization and specialization. Since 2025, driven by structural opportunities in the A-share market and excess returns from quantitative strategies, the issuance of private securities funds has recovered. In the first half of the year, over 5,400 new products were filed, with the filing scale increasing by 75% year-on-year [6] Market Status - As of the end of August 2025, the outstanding scale of Chinese private securities investment funds reached 5.56 trillion yuan, accounting for 27.4% of the total scale of private funds, a 6.5% increase from 5.24 trillion yuan at the beginning of 2025.

The number of qualified investors has continued to expand, covering high-net-worth individuals, insurance funds, pensions, and foreign institutions. Insurance funds are accelerating the allocation of equity assets through pilot programs, and foreign institutions are also increasing their layout in the A-share market.

Small and medium-sized private funds face survival pressure, and foreign private funds are accelerating their localization layout, intensifying industry competition and promoting the concentration of resources to leading institutions [23] - With the deepening of China's capital market reform and the enrichment of financial derivative tools, private securities investment strategies are developing in a diversified direction from traditional stock long to quantitative hedging, macro strategies, event-driven, and cross-border investment. Regulatory authorities encourage private funds to serve the real economy and introduce long-term funds, and the cooperation between private funds and financial institutions such as securities firms and banks is deepening.
