Public FOF issuance has accelerated. Last week (Aug 24–30) three public FOFs
opened subscriptions: Tianhong Xinxiang Multi‑Asset 3‑Month FOF, Manulife
Multi‑Asset Select 3‑Month FOF and Huafu Chunheng Stable 6‑Month FOF. Data show
130 FOFs issued year-to-date, raising 129.359 bln subscription units as of Aug
25, a record high; 2025’s raised volume was the second-highest on record and
this year’s year-to-date amount is double last year’s. Rongzhi Investment FOF
manager Li Chunyu said strong 2026 public FOF issuance is driven by a low-rate
environment that has pushed down deposit and bank‑wealth yields, prompted
deposit migration and intensified market rotation; investors find fund selection
harder, making FOFs’ one‑stop multi‑asset allocation and secondary risk
diversification attractive for steady returns.
