Investment Company Institute / ICI

Investment Company Institute appears in vol.126.公募基金还值得买吗？ as the mutual-fund industry reference source. [[DavidWeng|大卫翁]] cites ICI yearbook data on global and U.S. open-end funds, and uses [[EricPan|Eric Pan]]’s framing of mutual funds as financial democratization to explain why the category can matter beyond individual performance charts.

In the source, ICI is not used as a neutral authority for every fund-market claim; it is a benchmark for comparing the U.S. mutual-fund system with China’s [[PublicMutualFundEcosystem|public mutual fund ecosystem]]. The ICI branch connects product count, assets under management, fee compression, retirement savings, and household access into one industry-infrastructure view.
