In the second half of 2025, significant changes occurred in East Money’s shareholding, mainly due to large cash-outs by Shen Yougen (the father) and Lu Lili (the wife).

In July 2025, East Money announced that shareholder Shen Yougen was asking for a transfer at an initial price of 21.66 yuan per share; Shen Yougen’s reduction accounted for 1% of total shares.

The reason for Shen Yougen’s transfer was personal financial needs. He cashed out 3.44 billion yuan.

Lu Lili cashed out 5.05 billion yuan, and Shen Yougen cashed out 752 million yuan.

After this change, Shen Yougen no longer held shares in the company, and Lu Lili’s shareholding decreased from 2.32% to 1.01%.

Through these two sales, the family cashed out a total of 9.2 billion yuan in 2025.

As of Friday’s close, East Money’s stock price was 20.21 yuan, with a market cap of 319.4 billion yuan. If these new shareholders do not sell, they would face an unrealized loss of up to 17%, with E Fund experiencing the highest loss of around 600 million yuan.
