China's mutual funds are closing at the fastest pace in eight years as weak returns and investor redemptions leave hundreds of products too small to survive.

Why it matters：The wave of closures reflects fading confidence in Chinese markets and could accelerate capital outflows from the country's asset-management industry.

Key points
