China Public Fund Assets Hit 39.32 Trillion Yuan at End-September

The divergence between rising fund units and falling net assets points to a valuation-driven dip rather than investor flight — money kept coming in even as market values shrank.

Whether unit growth keeps outpacing asset value, or the two converge as valuations weigh on subscriptions, is the open question to watch in the next monthly print.
