At the end of March, bank wealth management decreased by over 10 billion yuan month-on-month, due to seasonal factors compounded by recent stock market corrections.

At the end of the first quarter of this year, bank wealth management has not yet emerged from the "cold wave" of declining outstanding scale. On April 12, exclusive data summarized by the Securities Times reporter through industry channels showed that 14 bank wealth management companies with a management scale exceeding one trillion yuan had a month-on-month decline of approximately 1.13 trillion yuan in management scale at the end of March 2026, after a brief rebound in February, it fell again. Several analysts told the Securities Times reporter that, influenced by seasonal factors, a large amount of wealth management funds flowed back to the parent bank at the end of the first quarter, coupled with the recent stock market correction causing some bank wealth management products to have a decline in net value, resulting in a temporary decline in wealth management scale. Looking ahead to the whole year, bank wealth management products are still expected to benefit from the need for massive redeployment of maturing deposits, and the "fixed income +" strategy may become the core layout direction of bank wealth management companies.
