Industry insiders: reducing the operating costs of index products is expected to promote the rapid development of index investment.

On April 28, the two major index companies - China Securities Index Company and Shenzhen Securities Information Co., Ltd. simultaneously announced the adjustment of index fund usage fees. This is the latest reduction measure after index fund usage fees were changed to be borne by the fund manager. The adjustment includes three parts: first, canceling the fixed permission fee; second, reducing the basis point rate by 20%; third, adjusting the quarterly lower limit of the basis point fee. The above adjustment plan will officially take effect from April 1, 2025. Several industry insiders have stated that from the market's perspective, lowering the operating costs of index products is expected to promote the rapid development of index-based investments. From the perspective of fund companies, this move by index companies is an actual action to support the stable development of the fund industry.
