Report Industry Investment Rating - The report is optimistic about the investment value of the non - banking financial sector, believing it can enjoy both Beta and Alpha [4]. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Policy interpretation: Since 2022, reform measures for public funds have been gradually implemented, focusing on fees, assessment, and compensation. Future reforms are expected to be fully rolled out in the next three years. Floating fees will expand coverage, and fee reform phases are about to be implemented. Benchmark constraints and assessment will influence industry allocation and investment focus [4]. - Impact on public funds: The industry pattern will be optimized, with benchmark constraints potentially forcing active equity funds to become "quasi - passive". Investment research will first follow the benchmark and then pursue excess returns. Passive products will continue to develop, and channels, talent, and back - end operations will face corresponding adjustments [4]. - Impact on securities companies: The profit contribution of publicly - held funds by securities companies will show greater differentiation, and the advantage of securities companies in selling equity index funds will expand [4]. - Investment analysis opinion: The non - banking financial sector is a sector that can enjoy both Beta and Alpha, and its investment value is promising [4]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Policy Interpretation: Promote the High - quality Development of the Public Fund Industry in Multiple Dimensions - Regulatory roadmap: Since 2022, the roadmap and schedule for the high - quality development of public funds have become clearer. Reforms started with fee reduction and are now being comprehensively rolled out. The "Action Plan" covers aspects not implemented in the 2022 "Opinions" [8][10][12]. - Comparison of 2022 and 2025 reform requirements: The 2025 requirements are more detailed and quantitative, covering aspects such as overall requirements, differentiated development, long - term incentive constraints, and product innovation [13]. - Key points of the "Action Plan": It includes establishing a floating management fee mechanism, reducing investor costs, increasing the scale and proportion of equity investment, establishing a performance - based assessment system, strengthening regulatory classification evaluation, and enhancing compensation management [14][15][16][18][19][20]. - Reasons for the "Three - Year Goal": Investor risk preferences have declined, leading to a slowdown in the growth of public funds, especially new equity funds. The "Long - term Capital Market Entry" has set a 10% quantitative requirement for public fund capital entry [27][25]. - Fee reform: It aims to establish a floating fee mechanism linked to performance and reduce investment costs. It also expands the scope of fee reduction and promotes the development of floating - rate funds [31][32][36]. - Differentiated competition: Fee reduction and classification supervision will optimize the industry pattern, benefiting public funds strong in equity and index products [44][48]. - Benchmark constraints and long - term assessment: In the short term, industry allocation will be adjusted; in the long term, the focus will return to fundamental research, and turnover will decrease [49][50]. - Product innovation: The development of equity and fixed - income + products will be promoted to meet market demand [53][57]. - Research and investment capabilities: The co - management model may become the future development trend of the industry [58]. 2. Impact on Public Funds: Analysis from Research and Investment, Products, Channels, Talent, and Back - end Operations - Research and investment: Benchmark constraints may force active equity funds to become "quasi - passive". The co - management model may be adopted to improve research and investment capabilities [63][58]. - Products: The passive trend will continue, and equity index products and fixed - income + products will have development opportunities [69][74]. - Channels: Public funds should strengthen self - sales and investment advisory channels to reduce dependence on代销 channels. The combination of fund investment advisory and direct sales platforms may bring opportunities for large public funds to enter the wealth management market [78][84]. - Talent: For researchers, the "department wall" between research and investment should be broken; for fund managers, hierarchical management should be implemented [90][93]. - Back - end operations: Fee reduction will raise the break - even point, and financial technology may be an effective means to cope with fee reduction in the short term [94][95]. 3. Impact on Securities Companies: Analysis from Public Fund Business, Sales, and Allocation - Public fund business: The "Action Plan" will directly impact the income of publicly - held funds by securities companies, potentially compressing their profit contribution in the short term [102]. - Sales: The similar classification evaluation mechanism will benefit securities companies' sales, and they will maintain their advantage in selling equity index funds [106]. - Allocation: Securities companies should strengthen research on high - weight benchmark targets and explore non - public fund customers [4]. 4. Investment Analysis Opinion - The non - banking financial sector can enjoy both Beta and Alpha, and its investment value is promising. The Beta logic lies in the promotion of the transformation of household savings into investments and the entry of long - term funds into the market. The Alpha logic is that the non - banking financial sector is under - allocated and has low valuations [4].
