Statistics show that in the past month, dozens of cities across the country have successively issued consumer vouchers to residents, and the catering, retail, tourism and other industries have achieved remarkable results.
Benefiting from this, the performance of consumer funds has increased substantially. Wind information data shows that as of April 2 1 day, there were 135 consumer theme funds with statistics, with an average return rate of 3.52% during the year, and nearly 80% of the funds obtained positive returns. In the past month, under the background of promoting the promotion fee policy, the performance of consumer theme funds has been stronger, and the average net value of the interval has increased by 8.59%.
In fact, the consumer theme fund is a kind that fund companies have always been optimistic about. Since the beginning of this year, eight consumer theme funds have been issued, including Minsheng Canada Quality Consumer, ICBC Credit Suisse Consumer Industry, TEDA Manulife CSI Major Consumer Bonus, Everbright Prudential Consumer Theme, etc., and the fund subscription is quite active. In particular, the E Fund for Consumer Selection issued on April 8 sold out in one day, attracting 8 billion funds to subscribe.

The industry targets defined by consumer theme funds usually include food and beverage, household appliances, medicine and biology, commerce and trade, light industry manufacturing, leisure services, media, automobiles, electronics, computers and communications.
Wang Zhihui, assistant general manager of Haifutong Fund Company, said that after the epidemic, it is more necessary to rely on domestic demand to restore the economy. China's urbanization process is accelerating, and relevant policies have recently been introduced, such as opening cities to settle down. Corresponding to the epidemic situation, activate domestic demand and promote consumption upgrading is of great help. In addition, China's economy is facing a transformation from investment-driven to consumption-driven. Comparatively speaking, US consumption accounts for nearly 90% of GDP, and there is still much room for improvement in China consumption. In the long run, the trend of consumption upgrading is far from over, and many sub-sectors have great room for development.
Wei, general manager of the macro strategy department of Bosera Fund, believes that consumer theme funds have attracted more and more investors' attention. First, under the impact of the epidemic, domestic demand has become a weapon to stabilize growth and promote employment; Second, in terms of stock style, consumption is more stable than cycle, growth, finance and other fields, which is more suitable for customer demand under the background of increasing volatility of capital market; Third, the reform of the financial supply side continued to advance, and investors' willingness to allocate assets became stronger. Consumer funds aimed at customers' needs can meet customers' individual needs more accurately.
A researcher in the consumer industry in Shanghai said that the domestic consumption environment is gradually improving, and consumer vouchers will enhance and restore consumer confidence, which is good for consumer funds. Optional consumption is greatly affected by the epidemic, but with the economic recovery, it will be better than last month.
