Net assets of all Chinese fund products, except for Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII) funds, totaled 2.05 trillion yuan as of June 30, down 500 billion yuan from the end of last year, the China Securities Journal reported Thursday.

Given the backdrop of the Chinese stock market's plunge, all equity fund products, except the one from Harvest Fund Management Co, went into the red in the first half of the year.
