Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the existence of "financial assassins" in the banking wealth management sector, where investors are misled by high advertised returns but receive much lower actual returns due to manipulative practices by wealth management companies [1][14]. Group 1: Industry Practices - Wealth management companies are engaging in unfair competition by using T-1 valuation methods to shift returns between products, leading to discrepancies in actual returns received by investors [1][6]. - The practice of "sheltering" products allows companies to inflate the returns of newly launched products while older products bear the losses, creating an illusion of high performance [5][12]. - Regulatory measures have been implemented to curb previous practices like self-built valuation models, but companies continue to seek loopholes to maintain high returns [7][14]. Group 2: Investor Impact - Investors are often left with returns significantly lower than expected, with some reporting annualized returns as low as 1%-2% despite seeing advertised rates above 5% [1][14]. - The reliance on T-1 valuation creates a situation where investors in older products are unfairly treated, as their returns are used to support the performance of newer products [14][15]. - The high expectations set by advertised returns lead to a cycle of short-term investment behavior, undermining the potential for long-term value investment [15]. Group 3: Market Dynamics - The shift towards T-1 valuation methods has been driven by a combination of regulatory scrutiny and the need for wealth management firms to maintain competitive scales in a challenging market environment [7][8]. - The increasing reliance on trust products and the growing share of outsourced investments indicate a significant change in asset allocation strategies within the wealth management industry [8][9]. - The competitive landscape is becoming more challenging, with larger firms facing pressure to deliver returns while adhering to stricter compliance requirements [10][12].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - China's regulatory system for financial institutions' investment in funds has evolved from initial shadow banking rectification to unified penetration supervision. The current regulatory logic for funds as an important vehicle for institutional investment SPVs is "penetration supervision, risk provisioning, de - nesting, and de - arbitrage" [3]. - Different financial institutions have different motivations and strategies for investing in bond funds. Banks focus on capital conservation and liquidity management, bank wealth management aims at asset allocation and liquidity management, and insurance funds seek to optimize income structure, match assets and liabilities, improve tax efficiency, and supplement investment research [4]. - The regulatory framework and reforms influence institutional investment and bond fund design. Institutions generally prefer bond funds with transparent underlying assets, high liquidity, and low leverage. Customized special accounts and "customized bond funds" are becoming mainstream, and index bond funds have the potential to become the mainstream of allocation [5]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Historical Review: From Separate and Fragmented to Unified Penetration - **2008 - 2012**: Shadow banking issues emerged. The CBRC issued relevant documents to require the return of silver - trust cooperation assets to the balance sheet and prohibited certain bank wealth management product investments. The CSRC included private funds in the regulatory framework and made requirements for collective asset management plans [11]. - **2013 - 2016**: With the prevalence of non - standard assets and bond leverage, the CBRC set concentration regulatory indicators for non - standard asset investment in wealth management, and the central bank and other regulatory authorities unified the definition and supervision scope of inter - bank business, requiring penetration of underlying assets and capital provisioning [12]. - **2017 - 2021**: The implementation of the "Asset Management New Regulations" marked the entry of the large asset management industry into the era of unified penetration supervision, establishing unified regulatory standards and risk measurement frameworks. During the transition and improvement period from 2019 - 2021, the focus was on supporting detailed rules and stock rectification [14]. - **2022 - 2025**: The regulatory legal system was finalized, and a new asset management ecosystem was initially established. A general regulatory framework for funds as institutional investment SPVs was built [17]. 3.2 Regulatory Framework: Systemic Review of Various Financial Institutions' Investment in Bond Funds - **Bank Self - Operation**: The core logic for banks to allocate bond funds is the tax - exemption effect and liquidity management advantages. The "Capital New Regulations" require banks to penetrate and identify underlying assets and calculate capital according to different methods. Banks generally prefer bond funds with transparent underlying assets, low leverage, and few nesting levels. Different types of bond funds have different allocation logics for banks [19]. - **Bank Wealth Management**: After the implementation of the asset management new regulations, the proportion of bank wealth management funds allocated to public funds has increased. The motivations for investment include asset allocation, liquidity management, and supplementing investment research capabilities. There are regulatory requirements for investment scope, penetration, risk isolation, concentration, and leverage [28]. - **Insurance Funds**: The reasons for insurance funds to invest in bond funds include optimizing income structure, matching assets and liabilities, improving tax efficiency, and supplementing investment research. Insurance funds need to comply with multiple regulatory requirements, including penetration supervision, investment management ability requirements, proportion supervision, and concentration management. Bond funds are mainly used as strategic supplementary assets [35]. 3.3 Development Trends: Bond Fund Product Design from the Perspective of the Regulatory Framework - **Bond Fund Product Design**: There are trends of transparency, customization, and passivation. Products with transparent underlying assets are more popular, customized special accounts and "customized bond funds" may become the mainstream of institutional cooperation, and passive index investment presents new opportunities [46]. - **Impact of Regulatory Changes on Institutional Fund Allocation Willingness**: Fee reforms limit the short - term trading space of bond funds and strengthen the long - term investment orientation of institutions. Tax policy adjustments make bond funds relatively more attractive in the short term, but in the medium term, institutions may shift from "investing through funds" to "self - management" [49].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent release of the "Asset Management Trust Management Measures (Draft for Comments)" which aims to enhance the regulatory framework for the trust industry in China, following previous regulations and reforms in the asset management sector [3][5]. Summary by Sections Background of the New Regulations - The current regulations have been in place for 18 years and require updates to align with industry practices. The new draft is a response to the evolving landscape of asset management, particularly after the introduction of the asset management new regulations in 2018 and the three-category regulations in 2023 [5][6]. Positioning of Asset Management Trusts - The draft positions asset management trusts as private asset management products based on trust law, emphasizing three main characteristics: serving the maximum legal interests of investors, being privately placed to qualified investors with a cap of 200 participants, and adhering to strict investor standards [6][7]. Industry Transition - The trust industry is transitioning from traditional non-standard financing to a more diversified model that balances asset service trusts and asset management trusts. In 2023, over 30,000 trust products were established, with a total scale of approximately 4.33 trillion yuan, where asset service trusts accounted for about 57% and asset management trusts for 43% [7]. Enhanced Management and Regulatory Requirements - The new regulations emphasize comprehensive management of trust products and introduce multiple red lines across key areas. For instance, the concentration of investors is restricted, with limits on the amount a single investor can contribute to a trust product [9][10]. Investor Concentration and Reporting - The draft specifies that a single investor's contribution cannot exceed 50% of the trust's total scale, while institutional investors and their affiliates are limited to 80%. Additionally, there are requirements for transparency regarding the actual investors and funding sources [10][11]. Performance Fees and Investment Limits - The regulations set a cap on performance fees, which cannot exceed 60% of the investment returns above the benchmark specified in the trust documents. Furthermore, investments in the same asset are limited to 25% of the trust's total scale, with certain exemptions [12]. Sales and Prohibited Activities - The draft outlines strict sales requirements, prohibiting channel and fund pool businesses. Trust companies must clearly disclose risks to investors and cannot guarantee returns or obscure actual risk conditions [13][14]. Rectification of Existing Trust Business - Trust companies are required to review and rectify existing asset management trust businesses in accordance with the new regulations, with progress monitored by the financial regulatory authority [15].
