This penalty is the largest single fine issued to a bank wealth management subsidiary in 2024 [1][2]. Group 2: Market Trends - The bank wealth management sector has seen a significant decline in product rates, with an overall decrease of approximately 8% in management fees in the first quarter of 2024.

This trend may lead to a normalization of ultra-low fee products among leading wealth management firms [9]. - The shift towards lower fees is seen as a temporary measure to enhance market share and customer loyalty, while the long-term focus will need to shift towards investment research capabilities and product innovation for sustainable competition [9].
