Securities firm's chief economist and core researcher "transfer" continues to heat up.

Recently, an announcement by Dongxing Securities about the public recruitment of a chief economist has once again brought the "transfer" of research talent in the securities industry into the spotlight. Since 2025, there have been dozens of changes in chief economist or core research positions at securities firms, with industry "star players" such as Xun Yugen, Yan Xiang, and Chen Guo switching tracks or institutions, becoming the focus of market attention. In interviews, reporters learned that influenced by multiple factors such as policy guidance, industry mergers and acquisitions, fee reforms, and AI empowerment, the research business of securities firms is accelerating its return to the essence of value, with the industry consensus gradually deepening that research services need to directly match the investment decision-making needs of clients to achieve value transformation.
