Rapid growth in scale, acceleration in layout! Foreign public offering institutions continue to be bullish on the Chinese market.

Against the backdrop of the steady opening up of the Chinese capital market, in the first half of this year, foreign-owned mutual fund institutions have frequently launched various fund products, accelerating the pace of product landing and speeding up their layout in the Chinese market. Foreign-owned mutual funds typically refer to companies that are 100% owned by overseas financial institutions and establish and carry out mutual fund management business in China. Since the beginning of this year, nine mutual fund managers such as Robeco, Fidelity, and JPMorgan Asset Management have launched a total of 31 new fund products, with a total new issuance size of 358.80 billion. Compared with the same period last year, the number increased by 138% and the size increased by 43%. Among them, bond funds have become one of the key focus areas for foreign-owned mutual funds, with new products covering various sub-categories such as long-term pure bonds, mixed bonds, and passive index bonds. In terms of equity funds, in addition to laying out actively managed products, they have also actively introduced products such as index enhancement and passive index, reflecting their recognition of long-term investment opportunities in the Chinese stock market.
