Core Viewpoint - The competition in the fund distribution fee market has intensified, with some small and medium-sized banks reducing their fund distribution fees to as low as 0.1% following the lead of larger banks that have set fees at 1% [1][2]. Group 1: Fee Reduction Trends - Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank announced a 0.1% fee for specific open-end funds starting August 5, 2023, applicable to both regular and systematic investment plans [2]. - Changshu Rural Commercial Bank implemented a similar policy in February 2023, offering a 0.1% fee for designated fund products through its mobile banking channel [2]. - The funds benefiting from the 0.1% fee are primarily conservative in nature, including index and bond funds, and are typically available only through mobile banking channels [2][3]. Group 2: Reasons for Fee Reductions - The reduction in fees by small and medium-sized banks is driven by increased market competition and customer attrition pressures, particularly from larger banks and internet platforms [1][3]. - The need for customer acquisition through marketing activities and the ongoing reform of public fund fees aimed at reducing investor costs are also significant factors [3]. Group 3: Competitive Landscape - Small and medium-sized banks face challenges from both large banks, which have strong customer bases and brand influence, and from internet platforms that attract younger investors with convenience and lower fees [4]. - The sustainability of the 0.1% fee is questioned, as it is currently limited to specific products and channels, and the industry standard remains at 1% [4]. Group 4: Future Focus Areas - The industry consensus suggests that the competition in fund distribution will ultimately return to product and service quality rather than just pricing [5]. - Future competitive advantages for small and medium-sized banks should focus on enhancing product selection, diversifying offerings, innovating services, and addressing local customer needs to avoid homogeneous competition [5].
