向买方投顾转型是券商财富管理业务发展的核心命题，而投顾人才正是答好这个问题的关键一环。目 前，证券行业投顾人数已经突破8.28万人。 然而，这8万余名投顾需要服务超2.4亿名股民，相当于1名投顾需要服务超过2800名投资者，这远远高 于1:200的理想配置比例。与此同时，专业投研水平欠缺、专业化陪伴服务深度和连贯性不足……投顾 服务质量也不尽如人意。多位证券业人士向证券时报记者表示，建立一个吸纳和培养投顾人才的体系， 是当下买方投顾转型期的重要课题。 受访人士认为，解决这一问题需要从以下几个方面着手：一是解决投顾职责泛化问题，二是建立分类分 级体系，三是利用AI（人工智能）赋能。 投顾结构性短缺 以公募基金投资顾问业务试点正式落地为标志，证券行业早在2019年10月就开始向买方投顾转型。2019 年底以来，投顾人数从5.32万人攀升至当前的8.28万人。投顾人数的显著增长，从侧面体现了券商财富 管理业务对投顾人才的高度重视。 然而，当前投顾服务需求和供给并不匹配。从供给端来看，投顾的质和量两方面都存在不足。 在数量方面，多位业内人士表示，当前人才供给出现结构性短缺，投顾人数与投资者数量比例严重失 衡。业内人士 ...

Core Viewpoint - The presentation by Dr. Chen Peng emphasizes the importance of buy-side advisory in enhancing the investor experience and promoting the high-quality development of public funds in China, breaking down investor returns into four dimensions: excess returns (A), benchmark returns (B), investment costs (C), and behavioral losses (Gamma) [1][2]. Group 1: Market Benchmark Returns - Long-term average returns for investors are primarily derived from beta (β), which represents market benchmark returns, indicating that investors can easily obtain this return through low-cost tools like index funds [5]. - The historical stock return rate in China over the past 20 years is approximately 10%, closely resembling that of the U.S. market [6]. Group 2: Difficulty in Achieving Excess Returns - Achieving alpha (α), or excess returns through active management, is increasingly challenging due to the rising proportion of institutional investors, leading to intensified competition [9]. - Data from Morningstar indicates that the probability of active funds outperforming the index has significantly decreased in the Chinese market [9]. Group 3: Impact of Fund Costs on Investor Experience - Fund costs, both explicit and implicit, are critical factors affecting investment returns. Explicit costs include fees that are clearly disclosed, while implicit costs, such as trading fees, are often overlooked [11]. - In 2022, 320 equity funds had implicit costs exceeding 2% due to high trading costs, with an average turnover rate of 1026%, indicating frequent buying and selling that erodes investor returns [12]. Group 4: Investor Behavioral Losses - Investor behavior, such as irrational actions like "buy high, sell low," can lead to discrepancies between actual returns and fund returns, referred to as behavioral losses (Gamma) [14]. - Morningstar estimates that investment advisors can enhance client returns by 2.45% annually by optimizing investment goals and managing behaviors, thus turning Gamma from negative to positive [14].
