Core Viewpoint - The "Draft for Public Offering Fund Sales Fee Management Regulations" aims to reduce investor costs, translating into tangible benefits for investors through specific fee reduction measures, expected to save investors 30 billion yuan annually, with a total of over 50 billion yuan saved in three years [1][2]. Fee Reduction Measures - The draft includes fee reductions during both the transaction and holding phases. For transaction fees, the maximum subscription fee for equity funds is reduced from 1.5% to 0.8%, and for mixed funds from 1.5% to 0.5%. For bond funds, the fee decreases from 0.8% to 0.3% [2]. - For example, investing 10,000 yuan in a mixed fund reduces the subscription fee from 150 yuan to 50 yuan, and for bond funds from 80 yuan to 30 yuan, significantly lowering entry costs [2]. Holding Phase Benefits - In the holding phase, management fees for actively managed equity funds decrease from 1.5% to 1.2%, saving 30 yuan annually on a 10,000 yuan investment. Passive products like the CSI 300 ETF see a more substantial reduction from 0.5% to 0.15%, saving 350 yuan annually on a 100,000 yuan investment [2]. - Sales service fees are also adjusted, with reductions for various fund types, and fees are waived entirely after one year of holding [2]. Long-term Investment Advantages - The fee reductions result in visible savings for investors. For a 10,000 yuan investment held for one year, total fees drop from 210 yuan to 110 yuan, leading to over 1,000 yuan saved over ten years. The longer the investment is held, the more significant the cost advantage becomes [3]. - This initiative is not merely a promotional discount but represents a crucial step towards high-quality development in the public fund industry, focusing on investor benefits and fostering a more regulated investment environment [3].
