On September 7, 2026, Orient Fund Management Co., Ltd. officially announced a change in its legal representative, with the role transitioning from He Junyan to Liu Hongpeng. Liu, who currently serves as the company’s vice chairman, general manager, and chief financial officer, has been with Orient Fund since May 2011, having previously held positions as assistant to the general manager and deputy general manager.
The leadership adjustment follows an earlier board decision on August 24, when He Junyan assumed the chairmanship, ending a five-month vacancy in that position. The latest filing marks a formal realignment of the company’s corporate governance structure, with Liu now holding the legal representative designation in addition to his existing executive duties.
Headquartered in Beijing, Orient Fund operates with a registered capital of 333 million yuan. As of the end of June 2026, the firm managed a total of 68 public offering mutual funds, with combined assets under management reaching 166.668 billion yuan. The company has maintained a steady presence in China’s competitive fund management sector, focusing on diversified investment strategies across equity, fixed income, and hybrid products.
Industry observers view this change as part of a broader trend among Chinese asset managers to streamline leadership roles and enhance operational efficiency. The regulatory filing, made with relevant authorities, underscores the company’s commitment to transparent governance. Liu Hongpeng’s promotion reflects the firm’s internal talent development approach, as he brings over a decade of experience within Orient Fund itself.
The transition is expected to have no immediate impact on the company’s day-to-day operations or its investment strategies. Market analysts will likely monitor whether the new legal representative will steer the firm toward new growth initiatives, particularly in areas such as index funds or sustainable investing, given the evolving preferences of domestic investors.
As of the announcement date, Orient Fund has not disclosed any further management changes. The company continues to operate its full suite of services, including mutual fund distribution, asset management mandates, and advisory offerings, catering to both retail and institutional clients nationwide.
