今年5月7日，证监会发布了《推动公募基金高质量发展行动方案》（以下简称《行动方案》）， 不仅重塑了中国资产管理行业的底层运行逻辑，更将 "基准" 的核心地位提升至前所未有的高 度。 《行动方案》明确要求基金产品清晰界定业绩比较基准，切实发挥其确定产品定位、明晰投资策 略、表征投资风格、衡量产品业绩、约束投资行为的作用。同时建立基于业绩比较基准的"薪酬 激励 + 费率调节" 双重机制，将投资者利益与管理人利益绑定——对三年以上产品业绩低于业绩 比较基准超过10个百分点的基金经理，要求其绩效薪酬应当明显下降；对三年以上产品业绩显著 超过业绩比较基准的基金经理，可以合理适度提高其绩效薪酬。对新设立的主动管理权益类基金 大力推行基于业绩比较基准的浮动管理费收取模式，对符合一定持有期要求的投资者，根据其持 有期间产品业绩表现确定具体适用管理费率水平。如持有期间产品实际业绩表现符合同期业绩比 较基准的，适用基准档费率；明显低于同期业绩比较基准的，适用低档费率；显著超越同期业绩 比较基准的，适用升档费率。 这从制度层面推动基金公司与基金经理主动重视基准，引导产品回归 "风险与收益对称、策略与 定位匹配" 的本质属性，同时为 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent regulatory changes by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) aim to enhance transparency and accountability in the mutual fund industry, addressing issues like "style drift" and misleading performance benchmarks [5][6]. Group 1: Performance Benchmark Definition - The performance benchmark serves as a "anchor" and "yardstick" for fund investments, helping to clarify product attributes and risk-return characteristics [1]. - It allows investors to assess whether a fund's actual holdings align with its stated investment style [2]. - The benchmark also aids in evaluating the true investment capabilities of fund managers by comparing actual returns against benchmark returns [3]. Group 2: Weaknesses in Current Benchmarking - There are three main issues undermining the effectiveness of performance benchmarks: 1. Benchmarks are often nominally set but do not reflect actual investments [4]. 2. Funds frequently deviate from their stated strategies without adequate warning [4]. 3. Managers may change benchmarks to present better performance, akin to lowering passing grades after failing [4]. Group 3: New Regulatory Measures - The new guidelines require that benchmarks must align closely with the fund's investment goals and strategies, preventing mismatches [6][9]. - Fund managers are prohibited from changing benchmarks solely due to managerial changes or short-term market fluctuations [8]. - The guidelines link fund manager compensation to benchmark performance, encouraging long-term investment strategies over short-term gains [10][11]. Group 4: Enhanced Transparency and Disclosure - The new regulations mandate improved disclosure of fund performance relative to benchmarks, including detailed reports on returns, volatility, and asset allocation [12][13]. - Fund managers must explain performance discrepancies using both qualitative and quantitative methods, with custodians required to verify this information [13]. Group 5: Implications for Investors - The new rules simplify the selection process for investors, making it easier to understand fund characteristics and performance [16]. - Investors can now evaluate fund managers' true capabilities more objectively, reducing the risk of being misled by inflated performance claims [16]. - The emphasis on long-term performance and transparency helps investors maintain a more composed investment strategy [16]. Group 6: Tools for Smart Investing - Investors are encouraged to redefine "good funds" based on stability, sustainable excess returns, and manageable risk [18]. - Understanding professional metrics like volatility, tracking error, and information ratio will aid investors in making informed decisions [19][20][21]. - A structured approach to reading fund reports can help investors identify deviations from expected performance and assess the sustainability of fund strategies [24][25][26].

Core Viewpoint - Enhancing investor experience in fund investments is a core task for fund investors and managers, increasingly emphasized by regulators [2] Summary by Relevant Sections Investment Performance - Focusing solely on performance results is insufficient; absolute returns significantly impact investor experience, while relative returns are less critical in a positive return environment [4] - Historical performance can obscure the volatility experienced during the investment period, making the timing of investment crucial for the overall experience [4] Risk Assessment - Various risk indicators exist, such as volatility and maximum drawdown, which reflect the fluctuations in net value; different investors perceive risk differently [7] - For investors focused on retirement products, evaluating funds based on cost-effectiveness from a risk-return perspective is recommended [7] Dimensions Affecting Investor Experience - The overall investor experience, particularly for conservative investors, should encompass several dimensions, including: - **Return Dimension**: Performance over different time frames (1 year, 2 years, etc.) - **Risk Dimension**: Volatility, correlation with the market (Beta), maximum drawdown, recovery time from maximum drawdown, daily positive return rate - **Risk-Adjusted Return Dimension**: Sharpe ratio, Calmar ratio, information ratio - **Fund Manager Capability Dimension**: Strategic allocation, industry allocation, timing ability, security selection ability - **Manager Investment Service Dimension**: Responsiveness, coverage, satisfaction, companionship [9][10] Case Study: Focus on Investor Experience in Retirement FOF - The "Zhongtai Furu Stable Retirement One-Year Holding FOF" was analyzed to illustrate how a retirement-targeted FOF can prioritize investor experience while achieving investment results [12] - As of April 30, 2025, the fund's net value growth rate was 5.08%, outperforming its benchmark growth rate of 4.80% and the Wande Bond Mixed FOF Index return of 4.36% [13] - The fund's daily positive return probability was 64.04%, significantly higher than the average of 51.92% for similar products, enhancing investor experience [13][14] - The fund's maximum drawdown was -1.96%, compared to -2.91% for the Wande Bond Mixed FOF Index, indicating better risk management [13][14] - The Calmar ratio for the fund was 2.49, higher than the Wande Bond Mixed FOF Index's 1.36 and the CSI 300's 0.40, demonstrating superior returns per unit of drawdown risk [14]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the growing popularity of index funds in recent years, highlighting their advantages such as diversification, transparency, ease of trading, and lower costs, while also noting the limitations tied to the performance of the underlying index [1][2]. Summary by Sections Understanding Index Funds - Index funds are designed to track specific indices, which are composed of a basket of stocks selected based on certain criteria. For example, the CSI 300 index includes the top 300 stocks based on market capitalization and liquidity [5]. - There are two main types of index funds: broad-based index funds that cover multiple sectors and narrow-based index funds that focus on specific industries, which can present more volatility and trading opportunities [5]. Selection of Index Funds - When selecting index funds, it is important to understand the difference between fully replicated index funds, which passively track an index, and enhanced index funds, which incorporate some active management to potentially achieve excess returns [7][8]. - Key performance indicators for enhanced index funds include tracking error and information ratio, which help assess the fund manager's ability to generate excess returns while managing risk [8]. Investment Strategy - The article emphasizes the importance of aligning investment goals with the type of index fund chosen.
