The leading position of China Merchants Bank Co.Ltd(600036) is stable, and large state-owned banks rank high, but they are facing competition from third-party institutions.

In terms of the number of public funds sold on a commission basis, the number of public funds sold on a commission basis by the above-mentioned banks is below 30, lagging behind third-party institutions and securities companies; From the perspective of management scale, the holding scale of ant fund and Tiantian fund has exceeded that of most large state-owned banks, and the holding scale of non monetary public funds of ant fund has maintained more than trillion yuan.

Through the relatively open distribution of wealth management platforms, the competitiveness of some banks has been improved in the future. At the present stage, the banking industry is expected to benefit from steady growth, accelerate the release of the effect of wide credit, further optimize the business environment, and the prosperity is expected to rebound, basically facing the good trend.
