Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The report systematically evaluates the product design, implementation, risks, and governance of buffered ETFs, aiming to offer a set of auditable pilot suggestions for fund managers, channels, and regulators. Buffered ETFs use a four - leg option strategy to limit downside and cap upside, with their key being a dynamic reinvestment path determined by market snapshots, option pricing, and execution on reset days [1][3]. - In China, a gradual pilot strategy for buffered ETFs is recommended, starting with "quasi - buffered" products based on broad - based ETFs or futures, and large public funds with market - making and hedging capabilities should take the lead. The long - term value of buffered ETFs depends on the issuer's hedging ability, market - maker sustainability, and regulatory cooperation [3]. Summary by Directory 1. Introduction - Traditional "60/40" stock - bond portfolios failed in 2022, leading investors to seek a "third - type asset". The report focuses on buffered ETFs, aiming to explore their localization in the Chinese ETF market and provide decision - making references for relevant parties [10]. - Buffered ETFs use derivatives to limit downside and upside in each outcome period. The report will detail key engineering issues such as the four - leg option strategy, reset days, and the difference between price return and total return [11]. 1.1 Product Design Goals and Constraints - "Spot" in buffered ETFs and similar products can be various assets. The difference between price return and total return affects dividend handling, liquidity, and tax treatment, and should be clearly disclosed [12][13]. 1.2 Buffered ETF Four - Leg Strategy - A typical buffered ETF consists of four option positions: buying deep in - the - money calls, buying at - the - money puts, selling out - of - the - money puts, and selling out - of - the - money calls. Each leg has its own engineering purpose, Greek - letter characteristics, and practical points [14][17]. 1.3 Pricing Balance Formula and Cap's Endogeneity - The design of buffered ETFs requires a "zero - cost structure". The formula for premium balance is Premium(Short OTM Call)=Premium(Long ATM Put)−Premium(Short OTM Put). The Cap is determined by market variables such as implied volatility, volatility skew, interest rates, etc., and is an endogenous result of market conditions [18]. 1.4 Product's Reset Day - The reset day is crucial. FLEX options, which allow customization of contract elements, are used. Key factors to consider on the reset day include contract specifications, settlement and underlying types, market - making and liquidity risks, pricing sources and model assumptions, margin and cash requirements, execution strategies, and scenario - based backtesting [25][27]. 1.5 Impact of Price Return Index - Option pricing and settlement in buffered ETFs are often based on price return indexes, not total return indexes. This means investors forgo dividend cash - flows, which can significantly drag down long - term returns. The net long - term drag can be calculated as Net Long - Term Drag ≈ Expense Ratio + Dividend Yield − Net Option Carry [28][31]. 1.6 Scenario - Based Stress Testing - Stress testing is essential for buffered ETFs due to their high dependence on reset - day market conditions, non - linearity in tail events, and potential margin and liquidity risks. Different types of stress - testing scenarios include historical replay, parametric scenarios, stochastic Monte Carlo simulation, and reverse stress testing [32][35]. 2. Outcome Period Mechanism and Intra - Period Trading Path 2.1 Outcome Period and Reset - Buffered ETFs have a defined outcome period, and the Buffer and Cap are locked at the start of each period. The length of the period affects cash - flow, hedging, and investor exposure. The reset process involves market snapshots, option selection, and contract settlement. Only buying on the first day of the period and holding to maturity can ensure the promised returns [39][42]. 2.2 Intra - Period Trading Complexity - Intra - period trading in buffered ETFs is complex, with returns determined by option layouts and Greek - letter exposures. To reduce risks, measures such as pre - trading visualization, setting hedging frequencies, formulating liquidity and execution strategies, and providing clear disclosures are recommended [43][46]. 3. Overseas Market Competition and Product Line Differentiation 3.1 Mainstream Issuer Strategy Comparison - Major issuers in the overseas market have different strategies. Innovator ETFs is a pioneer with a full product line; First Trust is a channel giant; AllianzIM focuses on innovative reset periods; Pacer ETFs combines trends with buffering; and iShares is a price - cutter [49][52]. 3.2 Tabular Stratification of Buffer Depth and Product Line - Products are classified into different buffer - depth categories: moderate buffer, deep buffer, and principal protection, each with typical parameters, target investors, use scenarios, and risk - control points [53][55]. 3.3 Strategy Comparison, Stratification Logic, and Issuance Suggestions - Issuers should consider their capabilities, channels, and regulatory compliance when designing products. In China, large public funds, comprehensive brokerage asset managers, and small technology - driven asset managers are likely candidates to issue buffered ETFs, and a step - by - step pilot strategy is recommended [56][58]. 4. Buffered ETF Market Analysis - In the US, the rise of buffered ETFs is due to macro - environment, market infrastructure, distribution networks, and tax and regulatory factors. In China, there is demand for such products, but implementation faces challenges, and a gradual pilot approach is needed [59][62]. 5. Comparison of Buffered ETFs and Snowball - Type Structured Products - Buffered ETFs and snowball - type products differ in terms of issuance, structure and counter - party risk, liquidity, transparency, return and cost, and investor suitability. Buffered ETFs are more suitable for institutional and retail clients seeking transparency and tradability, while snowball - type products are for high - net - worth individuals [63][67]. 6. Conclusion - Buffered ETFs transform institutional risk - management techniques into standardized products, offering downside protection at the cost of giving up potential high - end returns. They are suitable for investors who understand their complexity but may be a long - term wealth drag for those blindly seeking "capital preservation" [68].

被动型固收+利器:股债恒定指数ETF
NORTHEAST SECURITIES· 2025-12-29 09:46
Group 1: Report Summary - The report analyzes the settings of domestic and international stock-bond constant indices and their impacts on underlying assets and the asset management product ecosystem. Since 2024, China Securities Index Co., Ltd. has released a series of stock-bond constant indices, with 9 allocation strategies, 5 stock-bond ratio gradients, and a total of 39 stock-bond constant ratio indices [1][2][112]. - Stock indices in the stock-bond constant indices focus on 2 smart beta indices (dividend and cash flow) and the A500 index representing industry-balanced mid- and large-cap stocks. Bond indices correspond to a combination of medium- to high-grade credit and treasury and policy financial bond indices [1][2][112]. - From a 3-year perspective, stock-bond constant indices are in a low-drawdown, medium-elasticity range. The stock-bond ratio determines cost-effectiveness, the bond style determines the return bottom, and the equity index determines return elasticity. Historically, the 20:80 stock-bond constant index has a better risk-return ratio than many secondary bond funds [2][100][113]. Group 2: Background of Stock-Bond Constant Indices - In 1952, Harry M. Markowitz proposed the modern portfolio theory, providing a mathematical basis for asset allocation. Diversified asset allocation has become an important direction in wealth management, and multi-asset funds are key tools for implementing this strategy [15]. - The constant ratio strategy, especially the stock-bond constant ratio, is a common strategy in multi-asset index compilation. In the US market, the correlation between stocks and bonds varies with inflation and monetary policy. In the domestic market, stocks and bonds are mainly negatively correlated, and the correlation among stock indices has been decreasing [16][17][20]. Group 3: Basic Information and Risk-Return Characteristics of Stock-Bond Constant Indices 3.1 Basic Information of Stock-Bond Constant Series Indices - As of the end of November 2025, China Securities Index Co., Ltd. has released 100 multi-asset indices, covering strategies such as constant ratio, risk parity, volatility control, target date, and target risk [28]. - The newly released stock-bond constant series indices have 9 allocation strategies and 5 stock-bond ratio gradients, with a total of 39 indices. Stock indices focus on dividend and cash flow smart beta indices and the A500 index, while bond indices are a combination of medium- to high-grade credit and treasury and policy financial bond indices [32]. 3.2 Components and Industry Characteristics of Stock-Bond Constant Indices - The report focuses on the component stocks and sample adjustment of stock indices in stock-bond constant indices. For example, the CSI Dividend Index adjusts its samples once a year, and the CSI 800 Cash Flow Index adjusts quarterly [43][50]. - There are differences in the component stocks among the CSI Dividend Index, CSI 800 Cash Flow Index, and CSI A500 Index. The A500 Index emphasizes industry balance, while the Dividend Index is more concentrated in the financial and energy sectors [58]. 3.3 Return, Volatility, and Drawdown Performance of Stock-Bond Constant Indices - In the past 3 years, the CSI 800 Cash Flow Index has a higher annualized return, followed by dividend-related indices, and the A500 Index has the lowest return among the three. Among bond indices, medium- to high-grade credit bonds have a higher return-volatility ratio [61]. - In the past year, the performance of these indices has changed. The growth style represented by innovation has outperformed the dividend style, and the A500 Index has exceeded the CSI 800 Cash Flow and dividend-related indices in terms of return [74]. Group 4: Comparison between Stock-Bond Constant Indices and Active Fixed-Income Plus Products - Stock-bond constant indices have strong defensive capabilities. Based on the long-term weak negative correlation between stocks and bonds, the 10/90 and 20/80 stock-bond constant indices can reduce volatility and enhance portfolio defense [93]. - In the past three years, the overall return of stock-bond constant indices has been better than that of the WIND Secondary Bond Fund Equal-Weighted Index, and their volatility is lower. The 20:80 stock-bond constant index performs better than most secondary bond funds in the same maximum drawdown range [96][100]. - If stock-bond constant ETFs are launched, due to their low fees and high liquidity, some funds may switch from secondary bond funds to stock-bond constant ETFs, which may cause passive selling of secondary capital bonds and local structural frictions [106][108].
