Core Viewpoint - The article highlights a trend in the public fund industry where younger fund managers are increasingly replacing older ones, particularly in the new economy and new consumption sectors, leading to significant performance differences between the two groups [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Group 1: Fund Management Strategy Changes - Public funds are adopting a strategy of "old out, new in," with younger managers taking over funds focused on new economy themes, reflecting a shift in investment preferences [1][2][3]. - A notable example includes a large public fund in Shenzhen where a veteran manager, known for traditional value stocks, stepped down from managing an artificial intelligence fund, which has seen significant losses [2]. - Another instance involves a major public fund in Guangzhou, where an experienced manager was replaced by a newcomer with less than six months of experience, indicating a broader trend of prioritizing fresh perspectives in fund management [3].
