Amid the public fund industry's trend of lowering fees for investors' benefit, a major retail bank is "going against the tide," forcing fund companies to sell at original subscription rates without discounts and even requiring other channels to delist, exclusively offering high-fee shares! For example, with a 500,000 yuan investment, investors may pay over 6,700 yuan more in fees! More than a dozen fund companies, including Huatai and Xingzheng Global, are affected, and their products can no longer be purchased on platforms like Tiantian Fund and Ant, forcing investors to buy "more expensive" shares through the bank. This "exclusive sales" strategy artificially creates scarcity, significantly increasing costs and eroding investor trust. As regulators push for fee reforms and floating management fee mechanisms, the industry should focus on inclusive finance and growing the pie together, rather than making investors pay for high costs! With deposit outflows into the market and the A-share market gradually entering a slow bull phase, the public fund industry faces a development window, and transparency and fairness are the way to go!
