Bank wealth management fell by over 1 trillion yuan in March, and investment strategies are becoming more diverse and cautious.

At the end of the first quarter of this year, bank wealth management has not yet emerged from the "cold wave" of declining scale. On April 12th, exclusive data compiled through industry channels by Securities Times reporters showed that 14 bank wealth management companies with total assets exceeding one trillion yuan saw their management scale decrease by approximately 1.13 trillion yuan from the end of March 2026, after a brief rebound in February. Several analysts told Securities Times reporters that, influenced by seasonal factors, a large amount of wealth management funds flowed back to the parent company at the end of the first quarter. In addition, recent stock market corrections caused some bank wealth management products to see net asset value retreat, leading to a temporary decline in wealth management scale. Looking ahead to the whole year, bank wealth management products are still expected to benefit from the demand for reconfiguration of massive matured deposits. The "fixed income +" strategy may become the core layout direction for bank wealth management companies.
