In the fourth quarter of 2016, Gopher Asset Management injected RMB150 million into Gopher Transformation Private Fund, accounted for 48% of total actual distribution volume. The fund principally invested in a limited partnership to invest one real-estate company. Although managed by Gopher Asset Management, the fund are not consolidated by the Group based on the facts that substantive kick-out rights exist which are exercisable by a simple-majority of non-related limited partners of the fund to dissolve (liquidate) the fund or remove the Group as the general partner of the fund without cause.

Gopher Asset Management and its subsidiaries invested in private equity funds of funds, real estate funds and real estate funds of funds, and other fixed income funds of funds that the Group serves as general partner or fund manager. Gopher Asset Management held less than 10% equity interests in these funds as a general partner. The Group accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting due to the fact that the Group can exercise significant influence on these investees in the capacity of general partner or fund manager.

The Group recorded income from equity in affiliates of RMB92,136, RMB14,469 and RMB115,809 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively.
