Group 3: Research and Risk Management Capabilities - The introduction of floating management fees requires wealth management companies to enhance their research and investment capabilities, particularly in equity investments, to achieve excess returns [7]. - Companies must develop robust risk management frameworks to balance the pursuit of higher fees with the need to control risks effectively [7]. - The floating fee model is particularly suitable for volatile and high-return potential products, indicating a future increase in similar offerings [6][7].

Group 2: Regulatory and Policy Environment - The implementation plan released by six ministries allows bank wealth management to participate as strategic investors in listed companies' private placements, providing equal policy treatment with public funds [5]. - The leadership of wealth management subsidiaries is urging teams to respond to this policy by increasing the issuance of products linked to private placements and new stock subscriptions [5]. Group 3: Sales Challenges - Many investors are reluctant to invest in R4-R5 risk-rated products due to their high volatility, with over 80% of investors preferring products with a net value fluctuation of less than 3% [6][7]. - The sales channels prefer to promote R2-R3 "fixed income plus" products due to lower risk and the potential for complaints from investors if higher-risk products perform poorly [7]. Group 4: Emerging Product Trends - In response to sales challenges, banks are increasingly offering "contingent" financial products, which primarily invest in fixed income assets while limiting equity exposure to a maximum of 20% [8][9]. - These contingent products are more appealing to investors as they provide a balance of risk and return, with annualized returns around 3%-4%, higher than pure fixed income products [9]. Group 5: Risk Management and Future Outlook - There are strict net value fluctuation control requirements for contingent products, with a tolerance for slight yield reductions but not for significant net value declines [10]. - Wealth management subsidiaries are focusing on optimizing investment strategies to maintain stable net value fluctuations while attracting more funds into the market [10][11].
