Chinese authorities are planning to implement major reforms in domestic investment funds.

Major reforms aimed at prioritizing long-term value and supporting sustainable investments have begun in China’s investment fund sector. The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has decided to introduce a new variable fee system that links investment fund fees to the fund’s performance. Under this system, funds with strong performance will charge higher fees, while those with poor performance will see their fees reduced accordingly. Leading industry firms such as China Asset Management Co. (ChinaAMC), China Merchants Fund, and E Fund Management have already submitted requests to launch performance-based products.

This reform aims to correct the previous tendency where private interests were prioritized over investors’ rights and to move away from short-term profit chasing towards creating long-term value. The comprehensive sector reform is planned to be fully implemented within the next three years, starting with major companies.

Authorities believe this measure will significantly boost investor confidence and satisfaction in China’s $4.5 trillion investment fund industry, while promoting stable, sustainable strategies.
