Diversified Asset Allocation Opens New Horizons; FOF Launches Reach Nearly 150 Billion Yuan Year-to-Date

FOFs are entering an unprecedented expansion cycle, with over 150 new products launched this year and fundraising nearing 150 billion yuan, shattering annual records for both product count and issuance scale. Based on the latest industry trends, more than 30 FOFs are currently scheduled or imminent for launch, including a concentrated issuance of 12 funds on October 12 alone. From a regulatory perspective, FOFs are also benefiting from policy developments: establishment thresholds may drop from 200 million yuan to 50 million yuan, and they will be permitted to invest in ETF feeder funds to better fulfill their asset allocation functions.
