中国证券报记者调研了解到，LOF产品二级市场价格大幅波动，本质上是资金炒作、流动性不足与投资 者认知存在偏差几方面共振的结果。在交易量极小的情况下，只需少量资金就可能将价格推至涨停或跌 停。游资可能利用LOF流动性不足的特点进行"打板"操作，吸引跟风盘，制造短期的剧烈波动。然而， 这类LOF产品二级市场价格大涨，并大幅脱离基金单位净值后，套利资金会蜂拥入场，往往短短几日就 会掉头大跌。 高危的"刀尖游戏" 8月21日，某只LOF出现惊心动魄的"地天板"：开盘几分钟后触及跌停，随后强势拉升，不久便冲上涨 停，溢价率超过30%，此前这只LOF已连续两个交易日涨停。不过，当日下午该LOF快速回落，截至收 盘下跌6.28%。 这样的大幅波动发生在一只规模不足8000万元的LOF产品上。8月19日、20日，这只LOF的成交额均为 60多万元。基金公司已连续多日对该LOF发布溢价风险提示。 无独有偶，8月14日至18日，某创新精选LOF连续三次发布溢价风险提示。8月12日至14日，该LOF二级 市场价格累计上涨30.72%，8月14日收于3.349元，与8月13日基金单位净值2.7595元相比，溢价超过 21%。其中，该 ...

Core Viewpoint - The development of Listed Open-Ended Funds (LOF) has stagnated due to inefficiencies in redemption mechanisms, outdated market-making systems, and poor performance in active management, while Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) have thrived, reaching a scale of 4.1 trillion yuan [1][2][4]. Group 1: Historical Context and Current Status - LOF was introduced in 2004, providing a dual trading mechanism of exchange trading and off-market redemption, enhancing liquidity for investors [2]. - In contrast, ETFs, which also launched in 2004, have seen significant growth, with nearly 1,200 ETFs available by June 2025, driven by investor preference and policy support [2]. - LOF's scale has decreased from over 900 billion yuan to around 600 billion yuan, with new fund issuance nearly halted since 2022, leading to over 30 fund liquidations [2][4]. Group 2: Market Dynamics and Challenges - LOF funds often exhibit small scales and poor liquidity, allowing minimal trading volumes to cause significant price fluctuations [3]. - The average daily trading volume for LOF is less than 13 million yuan, compared to 1.26 billion yuan for ETFs, highlighting a severe liquidity gap [4][6]. - The inefficiencies in LOF's trading mechanisms, such as cash redemption and delayed reporting of holdings, hinder investor engagement and strategy tracking [4][5]. Group 3: Recommendations for Improvement - Industry experts suggest that LOF must innovate its mechanisms to align with investor needs, potentially by adopting features from ETF trading systems [6][7]. - There is a call for LOF to explore a combination of active management and ETF-like mechanisms, such as transparent active management models that regularly disclose holdings [6][7]. - To revitalize LOF, it is essential to enhance trading efficiency and optimize investment strategies, ensuring that products meet the evolving demands of investors [7].

Core Insights - LOF (Listed Open-end Fund) has seen a significant decline in market interest and product launches compared to ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), with no new LOF products introduced in nearly two years and its total scale being less than 20% of that of ETFs [1][2] - The lack of demand for LOF products is attributed to their lower investment transparency, inefficient trading mechanisms, and insufficient liquidity compared to ETFs, which have become increasingly popular and have shown substantial growth in recent years [1][3][4] Group 1: Market Performance and Comparison - As of May 15, 2025, there are 398 LOF products, with a total scale of approximately 629.1 billion yuan, which is only about 15% of the ETF market size exceeding 4.1 trillion yuan [2][3] - The ETF market has over 1,100 products, with a growth rate of over 80% from 2023 to 2024, while LOF has not seen significant new product launches since 2016 [2][3] Group 2: Challenges Facing LOF - LOF products face three main challenges: lower investment transparency, inefficient trading mechanisms, and higher management fees compared to ETFs, which affects investor participation [3][4] - LOF's trading efficiency is hampered by the lack of real-time updates on net asset values, leading to lower liquidity and trading volumes, with some LOF products having daily trading amounts below 1,000 yuan [3][4] Group 3: Future Development and Strategies - Industry experts suggest that the future of LOF may lie in adopting active management strategies, as there are currently no active strategy products in the ETF space, potentially providing a differentiation advantage [1][6] - Despite some LOF products showing positive performance this year, the overall market sentiment remains cautious, with concerns about liquidity and pricing volatility due to low trading volumes [5][6]
