不过，基金公司对迷你基金"加速清盘"的做法并不合适。一方面，这种做法有损基金份额持有人的权力。实际上，基金份额持有人参不参加持有人大会，这 是基金持有人的权力。而且基金持有人不参加持有人大会，这本身就是基金份额持有人的一种态度表达方式。基金公司将基金份额持有人未参加持有人大会 因此招致基金份额持有人大会未成功召开，视为触发终止条件，这有"霸王条款"的嫌疑，是对基金份额持有人权力的一种践踏。 而在公募基金发展蒸蒸日上的同时，一些小盘迷你基金却面临着清盘的困境。根据相关规定，基金规模小于5000万元的迷你基金，需要进行清盘处理。不 过，由于迷你基金的清盘，需要得到基金持有人大会的表决通过，于是这就使得一些基金持有人大会因为得不到基金持有人支持而长期不能召开的迷你基 金，只能被迫持续运营。对于基金公司而言，这些迷你基金的持续运营，不仅无法产生利润，反而消耗大量运营精力与成本，已成为一种拖累。 为解决这个问题，有的基金公司未雨绸缪。其应对策略是前置风险，在基金合同中增设"加速清盘"条款，从而避免保护性条款在存续后期反成桎梏。比如， 有基金公司在基金招募说明书及基金合同中明确约定："基金份额持有人大会未成功召开"即视为 ...

2026年1月1日，《公开募集证券投资基金销售费用管理规定》正式实施。这也意味着，自2023年7 月证监会发布《公募基金行业费率改革工作方案》以来推进的公募基金行业费率改革已全部落地。 基金管理费的第二轮改革可从两个方面推进：一是改革对象不限于新发行基金，同时覆盖已发行的 存量基金，对权益类基金管理费实施全面改革。 改革成果有目共睹。按照安排，公募基金行业费率改革分三阶段推进：第一阶段降低主动权益类基 金管理费和托管费，年让利约140亿元；第二阶段调降股票交易佣金费率，年让利约70亿元；第三阶段 聚焦销售环节降费，年让利约300亿元。三个阶段合计每年向投资者让利约510亿元，公募基金综合费率 水平下降约20%。 二是大幅下调按基金规模计提管理费的比例，将现行计提标准整体降低一半以上，并根据业绩比较 基准确定具体计提比例。在此基础上，引入业绩计提机制，例如按照基金盈利的10%—20%比例计提管 理费，基金盈利越少，计提比例越低；盈利越多，计提比例越高。 从第一轮三阶段改革的效果看，销售费用改革无疑最为彻底，也是向投资者让利最多的环节。通过 销售端的大幅降费，投资者的认购成本明显降低，为投资者参与公募基金投资扫清 ...
