Public Fund Self-Purchase Enthusiasm Surges, Equity Funds Become Layout Focus

Since the beginning of this year, public fund institutions have maintained high enthusiasm for share buybacks. Data shows that as of March 11, 42 public fund institutions have completed 81 buyback transactions, totaling 945 million yuan, representing growth compared to the same period last year. Structurally, equity funds have become the focus of institutional deployment, with public fund buybacks reaching 714 million yuan, accounting for 75.56% of the total. Meanwhile, bond funds’ buybacks have significantly cooled down, and FOF products are gradually gaining popularity. Analysts believe that under the guidance of regulations, market valuations at low levels, and the emergence of structural opportunities, public fund institutions are actively positioning for long-term growth through buybacks, deeply aligning with investor interests.
