The number of funds raising money early this year has increased significantly.

As of July 9, a total of 244 funds have ended their fundraising activities ahead of schedule this year. Equity funds have become the absolute main force, with 80 passive index funds, 11 enhanced index funds, and 46 actively-managed equity funds among the products that ended fundraising early, indicating a clear signal of "riding on the market with funds borrowed". Of note, a large number of "sunshine funds" have emerged, with the first batch of CSI REITs All Revenue Index funds collectively selling out in one day, and several public quant funds and FOFs also facing high demand. Industry insiders say that ending fundraising early is aimed at seizing the opportunity to build positions, as in a structural market, opportunities in sectors such as technology and innovative drugs come and go quickly, and being a step late could lead to missing out; at the same time, products with size limits are quickly filled up, and products without limits can end fundraising early to avoid diluting the profits of existing investors.
