China’s Gen Z investors are turning fund managers into social media stars

On a fan community page on Chinese social media platform Weibo, hundreds of users have posted comments and pictures, some covered in little red hearts, to express their admiration for a star they affectionately call Kun Kun. “Kun Kun flies bravely, iKun will always follow him; Kun Kun never gets old, and will remain a blue-chip till the end,” some users wrote alongside the picture. “Kun Kun,” whose full name is Zhang Kun, is neither a pop star nor actor. Instead, he is one of China’s most prominent fund managers who oversees around 120 billion yuan ($18.6 billion) in assets at E Fund Management, an established Chinese asset management firm.

We also don’t have any information regarding the device itself. The account, however, has shared some videos which hint at a possible gaming smartphone in the future.It seems that Lenovo is going to follow the same footsteps as Asus by making use of the same branding as its core PC gaming division. It makes sense too. But will the new entrant be as successful as the Taiwanese brand, especially since the ROG Phone II is the most feature-packed gaming phone on the market? Time will tell.
