It is expected to reach 174 trillion yuan in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 17% from 2015 to 2020.

In the future, the proportion of pension funds in the asset management market will increase significantly. By 2020, pensions will bring 1.5-2 trillion yuan of capital to the capital market. The size of the national social security fund will reach 3.5-4 trillion yuan, and enterprise annuities and occupational annuities will also contribute a large increase. In addition, insurance capital and enterprises will remain important institutional investors in the future, and the importance of outsourcing investment by banks will also increase.

From the perspective of asset management categories, passive management and alternative investments other than standard fixed income have developed rapidly overall, such as index funds, private equity funds, and private equity funds.

Overview of Asset Management System

Fixed asset management is an important part of enterprise management. Fixed assets have the characteristics of large number, variety, high value, long service life, and scattered use locations, which makes management difficult. Relying on manual bookkeeping management methods, due to the large number of management documents and heavy inventory work, it requires a lot of manpower and resources, and the historical operation of fixed assets and the statistical work of assets are extremely difficult, leading to asset loss and repeated purchases of assets. In recent years, some fixed asset management software has appeared. Although the problem of manual bookkeeping has been largely solved, most systems use manual methods to enter data, which is not only slow and prone to errors, but also has assets in asset management. The serious problem of the disconnection of physical and accounting information is difficult to meet the needs of modern enterprise management.

On the basis of fully studying the business needs of the enterprise's fixed asset management, Beijing Nankai Gold Information Technology Co., Ltd. developed the "Gold Fixed Asset Management System". The system uses bar codes to identify fixed assets, enabling the full tracking of the life cycle and use status of fixed assets. The identified assets show the most prominent features of bar code technology when they are being inspected or inspected: they are convenient, fast, and accurate, which greatly improves the efficiency of the inspection work, while ensuring the correspondence between information flow and asset physical logistics. Effectively solve the problems of managing fixed assets of enterprises, making it easier and more effective for enterprises to manage fixed assets.

The fixed asset management system uses advanced RFID technology to comprehensively and accurately monitor the physical assets of the fixed assets from purchase, acquisition, cleanup, inventory, borrowing and return, maintenance to scrap. This system not only covers the management of the entire process of fixed assets, daily complicated statistical checkups, automatic generation of accounting depreciation data, etc., but also takes into account the actual use situation, such as asset 3D positioning and many other unique features.
