The public fund market will experience accelerated growth in 2025. While the ETF investment boom continues, multi-asset allocation has become another important trend. The CSC report indicates that the upward fluctuations in the equity market are driving the scale of active equity funds to rebound, but the pace of passive investment is accelerating, and fixed income + products are significantly expanding in a low-interest-rate environment, resulting in a more diversified growth pattern in the industry.
The overall scale of equity funds is rebounding, but growth is still dominated by passive index funds. As of the third quarter of 2025, the scale of passive index funds has increased by more than 1.1 trillion yuan, and the scale of ETFs has surpassed 5 trillion yuan. Although active equity funds have significantly restored excess returns, the growth in scale is mainly driven by net asset value increases, and the overall share has still decreased, reflecting investors' tendency to take profits after the market warms up.
Fixed income products show significant differentiation. In 2025, the bond market weakened, with the scale of medium- and long-term pure bond funds decreasing by more than 600 billion yuan, and the scale of short-term pure bond funds decreasing by nearly 250 billion yuan. In stark contrast, fixed income + funds are seizing development opportunities, with the scale of secondary bond funds increasing by 625 billion yuan. In a low-interest-rate environment, the yield of traditional fixed income assets continues to decline, and increasing the allocation ratio of equity assets has become a market consensus, with multi-asset allocation strategies providing investors with a &#34;steady progress&#34; solution.
The FOF new issuance market has significantly warmed up, with more than 80 new FOF funds issued in 2025, totaling a new issuance scale of 80 billion yuan. The investment scope of newly issued FOFs increasingly reflects multi-asset allocation characteristics, including not only equity and fixed income funds but also commodity funds, QDII funds, Hong Kong mutual recognition funds, public REITs, and various other categories.
<h2>Active Equity: Diversified Breakthrough Path</h2>
The CSC report has summarized and analyzed the scale growth of active equity funds (ordinary stocks, equity hybrid, and high-position flexible allocation and balanced hybrid funds with an average position &gt;60% in the past year) under various fund managers in 2025. Yongying Fund, China Europe Fund, E Fund, and Fullgoal Fund have seen their active equity fund scales grow by more than 35 billion yuan this year.

Yongying Fund has achieved a breakthrough in the scale of active equity funds through its &#34;Smart Selection Series&#34; products, with the scale of active equity funds increasing by more than 76 billion yuan in 2025, growing more than four times compared to the end of last year. The Smart Selection Series consists of 16 products, with a scale increase of 57.6 billion yuan, accounting for 66% of its entire active equity fund product line.
The success of Yongying Fund is mainly attributed to its forward-looking layout in segmented tracks. Most of the Smart Selection Series products were established from the second half of 2022 to the first half of 2023, and during the downturn of active equity funds, they made reverse layouts in themes such as robotics, cloud computing, semiconductors, domestic computing power, and innovative drugs that align with the development direction of new productive forces.
These products achieve excess returns through concentrated investment and active management, with a tool-oriented positioning that meets investors' demand for segmented investment tools. For example, Yongying Technology Smart Selection achieved a growth rate of up to 192% in 2025, while Yongying Advanced Manufacturing Smart Selection obtained a return of 70.07%.
