Core Viewpoint - The recent draft guidelines from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) propose a performance evaluation mechanism for fund managers, emphasizing a tiered adjustment of performance compensation based on the past three years' performance against benchmarks and fund profitability [1][2]. Performance Evaluation Mechanism - Fund managers' performance compensation can be adjusted in four scenarios: a decrease of no less than 30% if performance is more than 10% below the benchmark with negative profitability, a decrease if performance is more than 10% below the benchmark with positive profitability, no increase if performance is less than 10% below the benchmark with negative profitability, and a reasonable increase if performance significantly exceeds the benchmark with positive profitability [1][2]. Current Fund Performance - Among 20 actively managed billion-level equity funds, 8 funds outperformed their benchmarks by over 10%, while 6 funds underperformed by over 10% as of December 9 [2]. Notable Fund Performances - The top-performing fund, Galaxy Innovation Growth A, managed by Zheng Weishan, achieved an excess return of 49.38% over three years, with a total return of 243% and an annualized return of 20.58% since its management began in May 2019 [4][5]. - Other notable funds include Dachen High Growth A, managed by Liu Xu, with a total return of 417.29% and an annualized return of 17.16% over 10 years, and Xingquan Business Model Preferred A, managed by Qiao Qian, with a total return of 203.42% and an annualized return of 16.11% over 7 years [5][7][8]. Investment Strategies - Zheng Weishan's strategy focuses on heavily investing in technology stocks, maintaining a high concentration in top holdings, while Liu Xu adopts a diversified approach across various sectors, balancing between well-known blue-chip stocks and smaller companies [5][7][9]. - Qiao Qian employs a flexible trading strategy with shorter holding periods and a diversified sector allocation, aiming to balance long-term investment judgments with short-term market fluctuations [9][10]. Implications of New Guidelines - The proposed guidelines aim to address the issue of fund managers' compensation being disconnected from performance, encouraging a stronger link between fund performance and manager remuneration [1][2][10].
