In 2025, the Rongtong ChiNext Index Enhanced Securities Investment Fund (referred to as “Rongtong ChiNext Index”) delivered impressive performance, with core financial indicators showing significant improvement.

Main Accounting Data Comparison (Unit: RMB)

The significant growth in net profit is primarily attributed to the 49.57% increase in the ChiNext Index throughout the year, as well as the effective execution of the index enhancement strategy by the fund manager. The growth in net assets reflects the positive impact of the fund’s net asset value increase on asset scale, despite facing substantial redemptions during the period.

Net Value Performance: Outperformed Benchmark by 2.9 Percentage Points, Enhanced Strategy Effectiveness

In 2025, the net asset value growth rate for Class A/B shares of the Rongtong ChiNext Index was 49.81%, while Class C was 49.24%, both significantly outperforming the performance benchmark (ChiNext Index return × 95% + bank current deposit rate × 5%) of 46.91%, with excess returns of 2.90% and 2.33%, respectively. In terms of long-term performance, the cumulative net asset value growth rate for Class A/B shares since inception reached 266.76%, but still fell short of the benchmark of 339.16%, indicating a need to monitor long-term tracking errors.

The fund manager stated that during the reporting period, a strict index investment strategy was adopted, reducing tracking errors by optimizing the timing of constituent stock adjustments and controlling impact costs, while also enhancing allocations in AI, semiconductors, and other fields, contributing to excess returns.

Investment Strategy and Operations: Focus on Tech Growth, Strict Control of Tracking Errors

Throughout the year, the fund’s core strategy was “index replication + enhanced returns,” with investments in ChiNext constituent stocks and alternative constituent stocks accounting for no less than 80%, while also selecting stocks from high-growth industries through quantitative models. The annual report shows that the fund’s stock investments accounted for 92.20% of total assets, with the top three holdings being Zhongji Xuchuang (9.16%), Ningde Times (8.20%), and Xinyi Sheng (6.92%), all leading enterprises in the tech growth sector.

During operations, the fund maintained an average daily tracking error of less than 0.35%, adhering to the contractually agreed upper limit of 0.5%. The manager emphasized that through diversified investment and risk hedging methods, the impact of single industry volatility on the portfolio was effectively reduced.

Expense Analysis: Management Fees Increased by 26.4%, Trading Commissions Accounted for Nearly 10%

In 2025, the fund incurred management fees of 6.985 million yuan, an increase of 26.4% compared to 5.527 million yuan in 2024, primarily due to the increase in the management fee calculation base resulting from the fund’s net asset value growth (management fees are calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the previous day’s net asset value). Custody fees were 1.397 million yuan, also up 26.4%, consistent with the increase in management fees.

It is noteworthy that the amount of stock trading conducted through the related party Chengtong Securities (a shareholder of the fund manager) reached 172 million yuan, accounting for 9.97% of the total stock trading volume for the period, with commission payable of 31,900 yuan, accounting for 9.97% of the total commissions. According to regulatory requirements, passive equity funds are not allowed to use trading commissions to pay for research service fees, and it is necessary to further monitor whether this portion of commissions is fully utilized for trade execution.

Expense Change Situation (Unit: RMB)

Holder Structure and Share Changes: Individual Investors Account for Over 99%, Annual Net Redemption of 2.4 Billion Shares

The annual report shows that the total shares of the fund at the end of the period were 655.95 million shares, a decrease of 242 million shares from the beginning of the period’s 898.04 million shares, with a net redemption rate of 27.0%. Among them, Class A/B shares decreased by 218 million shares (-29.0%), while Class C shares decreased by 25 million shares (-16.8%). In the holder structure, individual investors accounted for 99.46%, while institutional investors accounted for only 0.54%, indicating significant retail characteristics.

Share Change Situation (Unit: Shares)

The significant share redemptions may be related to investors’ concerns about market volatility, but also reflect insufficient attraction of institutional funds to the fund. The management personnel hold 957,400 shares of the fund, accounting for 0.15% of the total shares, of which fund managers hold 100,000 to 500,000 shares, indicating relatively stable internal confidence.

Macroeconomic Outlook and Investment Opportunities: AI Mainline Clear, ChiNext Valuation Has Repair Space

The manager pointed out in the annual report that in the first half of 2026, the A-share market will shift from “policy expectation driven” to “fundamental verification driven,” with growth styles continuing to dominate. Key focus will be on technological breakthroughs in the AI field, including domestic computing power, optical modules, AI chips, and other sub-sectors. As of the end of 2025, the ChiNext Index valuation is at 40.77 times PE (TTM), positioned at the historical 34.6% percentile, lower than the average level, indicating potential for valuation repair.

Risk Warning: The fund’s net value fluctuations are highly correlated with the ChiNext Index. If the technology sector’s performance does not meet expectations or liquidity tightens, it may lead to net value adjustments. In addition, the continuous shrinkage of the fund’s scale may affect redemption efficiency, and investors need to pay attention to liquidity risks.

Summary: Performance and Risks Coexist, Technology Growth Layout Window Opens

In 2025, the Rongtong ChiNext Index achieved significant improvements in performance and scale through precise index tracking and enhancement strategies, but net share redemptions and long-term tracking errors remain issues that need to be addressed. For investors, if they view the technology growth sector positively in the long term, they may consider positioning during market adjustments; in the short term, caution is needed regarding volatility risks after valuation repairs. It is recommended to pay attention to the adjustment direction of the enhancement strategy and scale changes in the fund’s Q1 2026 report.
