Jiemian News reported that Shanghai High People's Court has disclosed a hearing notice showing that former BOC Securities fund manager Ji Wei has sued his former employer over a labor contract dispute. The case is scheduled to be heard on October 19, 2026, at the Pudong New Area People's Court in Shanghai. Ji joined BOC Securities in October 2019 and was once head of its ETF investment team. He left all funds under management on September 5, 2025, citing resignation. The article said his ETF products delivered mixed results, while several actively managed products posted losses, including BOC Securities Ruiyi Flexible Allocation Mixed A, which returned -38.18% during his tenure. Before joining BOC Securities, Ji had worked at Huaan Fund and Huian Fund, where he previously managed Huian Fengze A with a 52.14% tenure return. The article also said BOC Securities reported stronger first-half 2026 results, with revenue up 27.7% year on year to 1.922 billion yuan and net profit attributable to shareholders up 32.05% to 746 million yuan. Its total assets rose 37.08% to 127.377 billion yuan. However, the firm’s public fund business remained heavily tilted toward fixed income: as of the second quarter of 2026, stock and mixed funds together accounted for only 3.12% of total assets under management, while bond funds and money market funds dominated the portfolio.

According to Sina Finance, citing CCTV Finance and CNBC, the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, Norway's sovereign wealth fund, plans to adjust the share of government bonds in its portfolio, including reducing its U.S. Treasury holdings by about $80 billion to diversify risk exposure and improve returns. The Norges Bank Investment Management unit that manages the fund wrote to Norway's Ministry of Finance on September 1, proposing to cut the weight of government bonds in the fund's benchmark bond index from 70% to 50%; the letter was made public on the 4th. The fund currently has less than 26% of its total assets in fixed-income assets. Under the proposed adjustment, its allocation to U.S. Treasuries would fall by 12.2 percentage points to 21.9%, which is estimated to reduce holdings by about $80 billion. The proposal still needs review by the Ministry of Finance and parliament, and a final decision is expected in spring 2027. CNBC said the move comes at a sensitive time for the U.S. Treasury market, as investors worry about the U.S. fiscal outlook and a growing debt burden, while long-dated yields have climbed to a 10-year high. Economists said the planned reduction is not large, but it sends an important signal that the willingness of traditional government bond holders and buyers to absorb supply is declining. The fund manages about $2.34 trillion in assets and invests in about 7,100 companies across more than 50 countries and regions. Data showed that its investment return in the first half of this year reached 1.75 trillion Norwegian kroner, a record high.

Arbitrum founder Steven Goldfeder and Solana co-founder Toly debated Robinhood Chain's fee model on September 6. According to PANews, Toly said Robinhood Chain's 10% revenue share to Arbitrum would be enough to cover four times Solana's on-chain transaction fees, suggesting user gas fees could be lower if the chain were deployed on Solana. Goldfeder said Robinhood could keep about 90% of gas revenue under Arbitrum's architecture, and that the choice of Arbitrum was made to "be the landlord, not the tenant." Toly replied that Robinhood could charge fees at the application front end while using a lower-cost base network. Goldfeder said much of the on-chain activity does not pass through Robinhood's front end, and that if Robinhood were only a tenant on the base network, it would not earn revenue from those peripheral activities. Market reports said Robinhood evaluated Solana and Arbitrum during the product planning stage and ultimately chose Arbitrum, which can deploy its own chain independently.
