China's asset management industry has seen significant growth, with AUM reaching RMB68 trillion by the end of 2021, making it the world's fourth largest market. If sub-scale private funds and third-party assets managed by insurance asset management companies, pension insurers, wealth management companies, and trust companies are included, the industry's size would be closer to RMB100 trillion. The mutual fund sector is the largest, accounting for 37.2% of the industry's total AUM and experiencing 27.1% year-on-year growth and a 5-year CAGR of 22.5%. The management fee has also grown significantly, with FMC collecting RMB135.2 billion in 2021, representing a 11.83% CAGR from RMB30.2 billion in 2010. FMC manages the most mutual fund products, but a growing list of companies, including securities firms, private fund managers, and insurance companies, are also entering the market.
