Professional status:
Fund managers have become a very important reference index when fund investors choose funds in China. There are nearly 100 fund management companies and more than 10,000 funds in China. If each fund is counted as a fund manager, the talent of fund managers is basically in short supply. However, "returnees" professionals are no longer as eye-catching as before, and fund companies pay more attention to their past achievements in the domestic market.
Fund managers can be described as elites with first-class quality, and most of them are concentrated in the "ideal age group" of 30 to 35 years old. At present, among the teams of domestic fund management companies, talents with bachelor's degrees are rare. "Master traders and doctoral analysts" are the team combination of most fund management companies.
However, judging from the history of the development of China's securities market, the fund industry and fund managers are obviously very young, and the selection process lacks certain rigor, which leads to the mismatch between the investment ability and positions of some fund managers, which needs to be honed repeatedly through bull market and bear market.
