金融法庭负责人周庆怡介绍了金融法庭成立以来涉私募投资基金案件审理的整体情况及特点、审判特色做法，并提出了预防化解的相关建议。 据统计，自2022年至2025年期间，建邺法院金融法庭共受理涉私募投资基金纠纷案件179件，审结138件。当前审理特点主要有以下三点：一是涉诉主体身 份特征鲜明。私募基金涉诉纠纷主要发生在基金内部，原告群体以自然人投资者为主，涵盖不同风险认知水平和投资经验的人群，占比高达80%；被告主 体则呈现多元化趋势，包括私募基金管理人、基金销售机构等，多被告情形较为常见。二是投后退出环节纠纷高发。私募基金的风险并非仅在基金到期无 法兑付时才显现，而是贯穿于"募、投、管、退"全流程。尽管大量案件表面上体现退出环节的违约，但其根源往往可追溯至管理环节的失职。三是刑民交 叉案件显著增多，涉诉违法行为同时触及民事责任与刑事犯罪红线，行为边界模糊，事实认定复杂，对司法甄别与程序衔接提出更高要求。 法院建议要强化源头治理举措，深化过程监管效能。压实管理销售责任，恪守信义义务底线。提升风险防范意识，引导投资人理性维权。 【典型案例】 基金管理人明知投资者不合格还违规推介，法院判其一方赔偿24万余元 12月29 ...
