1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Views of the Report - The report comprehensively analyzes commercial banks' bond allocation, regulatory frameworks, asset - liability structures, and bond investment behaviors. Low - interest rates may lead to an increase in the proportion of OCI accounts, amplifying large banks' trading behaviors. Investors should pay attention to the "buy short, sell long" seasonal characteristics of large banks' bond investments and trading opportunities. Rural commercial banks' bond investment behaviors also show new features, and investors can make decisions based on their seasonal characteristics and key trading varieties [4][9][10]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Commercial Banks' Bond Allocation Overview - As of the end of 2024, commercial banks' bond allocation reached 89.70 trillion yuan, accounting for 50.70% of China's bond market custody balance. They prefer interest - rate bonds, with interest - rate bonds accounting for 82.7% (74.0 trillion yuan), followed by credit bonds (11.3%, 10.2 trillion yuan) and certificates of deposit (6.0%, 5.4 trillion yuan). Since 2024, the growth rate of commercial banks' bond allocation has first declined and then increased, which is highly correlated with the supply rhythm of government bonds [14][16]. 3.2 Bank Main Regulatory Frameworks: Macro - Prudential + Micro - Supervision, Multi - Dimensional and Multi - Level - **Central Bank Macro - Prudential Assessment**: Focuses on "broad credit" and interest - rate pricing. The assessment objects include various banking financial institutions, divided into three categories. It contains seven major indicators, and the assessment results are divided into A, B, and C grades, with different incentives and constraints for each grade [21][24]. - **Financial Regulatory Bureau Micro - Indicator Assessment** - **Capital Measures and Bank Ratings**: Centered on capital adequacy ratio, the 2023 "Commercial Bank Capital Management Measures" guide banks to form an interest - rate bond - based investment structure. Bank ratings have additional requirements for systemically important banks and global systemically important banks [28][29][34]. - **Liquidity Risk Assessment Indicators**: Aim to guide banks to increase stable liabilities and hold high - quality liquid assets. Mainly focus on LCR, NSFR, HQLAAR, and LMR, with different applicable scopes. The assessment pressure mainly lies in the quarter - end compliance pressure of NSFR [46][48]. - **Duration Indicators**: A "hard constraint" for large banks to extend bond investment duration. When the economic value change of state - owned large banks exceeds 15% of their primary capital, regulatory assessment is required [49]. 3.3 Bank Asset - Liability Structure - **Liability Structure** - **Deposit Structure**: Deposits account for about 70% of liabilities. Personal deposits exceed corporate deposits, and non - bank inter - bank deposits account for a relatively stable proportion. The weighted deposit term has been lengthening. Since 2024, large banks' dependence on inter - bank liabilities has increased, and the cost of liabilities has been declining rapidly [55][57][70]. - **Inter - bank Liabilities**: Since 2024, high - interest deposit - soliciting behaviors have been prohibited, and large banks' inter - bank liability ratio has increased to around 15%. After the optimization of non - bank inter - bank current deposit pricing in late 2024, large banks rely more on inter - bank certificates of deposit to supplement liabilities [63][65]. - **Asset Structure** - **Loan Structure**: Loans are the main asset, but the growth rate of household and corporate loans has been declining since 2023, and the loan term has been lengthening. The loan term has shown a trend of "first lengthening, then shortening, and then lengthening" since 2015 [73][77][84]. - **Inter - bank Assets**: The proportion of inter - bank assets has been declining, and the term has been lengthening since 2022. Among them, the proportion of lending funds has remained stable, while the proportions of placed - with - banks and reverse - repurchase assets have declined [87][91]. 3.4 Bank Bond Investment Behaviors - **Bond Allocation Varieties**: Mainly interest - rate bonds, with interest - rate bonds > certificates of deposit > credit bonds in terms of EVA comparison [4]. - **Financial Investment Account Structure**: The OCI account is both offensive and defensive and is more favored by banks in the low - interest rate stage. State - owned banks in the OCI account mainly trade government bonds, while small and medium - sized banks conduct credit down - grading. In the AC account, government bonds dominate. The TPL account has the strongest trading attribute, with a relatively high proportion of outsourced funds [4]. - **Large Banks' High - Frequency Duration of Holdings**: Since 2024, the duration pressure has gradually increased, and the characteristic of "buying short and selling long" at the end of the quarter has been strengthened. In 2025, the duration of large banks has continued to lengthen, and the duration pressure may ease after the peak of government bond issuance [4]. 3.5 New Developments: New Features of Large and Small Banks' Investment Behaviors - **Large Banks** - **Buying Bonds**: Driven by the central bank's bond - buying, large banks "buy short" and control the short - end pricing. Constrained by duration indicators, the "buy short, sell long" characteristic is strengthened. - **Selling Bonds**: To meet profit requirements, they sell old bonds to realize floating profits. Facing liquidity pressure, they reduce lending, redeem funds, and then increase bond sales [4]. - **Small Banks**: In 2025, "small banks' bond - buying" has returned, with a more flexible investment style. Rural commercial banks attach importance to trading in bond investment, with an overall increase in turnover rate. They have pricing power over certain bonds, and their bond - buying peaks usually occur in specific periods. Attention should be paid to the leading signals of rural commercial banks' early - bird actions at the end of the year [7].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The research on the regulatory framework, fund operation, bond - allocation behavior, and the latest characteristics of the fund industry is crucial for analyzing the bond market trends. In a low - interest - rate environment, the impact of fund trading behavior on bond market assets is increasing. [8][10] - By examining the pricing power, seasonality, product innovation, and new trends of funds, investment opportunities and risks in the bond market can be identified. [9][10] Summary According to the Directory 1. Overview of Public Fund Bond Allocation - As of the end of 2024, the bond - allocation scale of public funds was 18.87 trillion, ranking second in the market, accounting for 10.7% of the 177 - trillion custody balance of the Chinese bond market. Since Q4 2023, the bond - allocation scale of bond funds has grown rapidly, with the growth rate reaching over 20%. In H1 2025, the growth rate returned below 10%. Bond - type funds prefer policy - financial bonds and general credit bonds. [2][16][18] 2. Overview of the Public Fund Market: Variety Classification and Institutional Framework Defined by Supervision (1) Public Fund Variety Classification: Divided by Investment Assets and Ratios - Public funds can be divided into stock funds, bond funds, money - market funds, fund - of - funds (FOF), and hybrid funds according to the investment assets and ratios. As of the end of 2024, fixed - income funds such as money - market funds and bond - type funds dominated, accounting for 75% of the total. [23][25] (2) Public Fund Regulatory Framework: Institutional System, Operational Norms, and Tax Regulations - **Public Funds**: Subject to multiple regulatory requirements from the new asset - management regulations, fund systems, and institutional reforms. The regulatory framework has been continuously updated since 1998, covering aspects such as investment scope, credit rating, leverage, duration, valuation methods, liquidity requirements, and investment concentration. [32][38] - **Money - Market Funds**: Have stricter regulatory requirements than general public funds in terms of leverage, duration, and liquidity. There are also special regulations for controlling scale, investment scope, and other aspects. There are also special types such as floating money - market funds and important money - market funds. [42][50] - **Tax Policy**: Public funds have advantages in value - added tax and enterprise income tax compared with institutional investors such as bank self - operations, which is an important reason for bank self - operations to invest indirectly. [56] 3. Public Fund Operation: How Products Operate from the Fund End to the Asset End (1) Fund Sources - Since 2017, public funds have entered a stage of rapid expansion. As of the end of 2024, fixed - income funds represented by bond funds and money funds dominated, accounting for nearly 75%. Bond funds are mainly for institutional investors, while money funds are for individual investors. [5] (2) Bond - Type Funds - In asset allocation, bond investment is the main focus, with policy - financial bonds and credit bonds having a relatively high proportion. The duration is mostly between 2 - 4 years, and the leverage ratio is between 110% - 130%. The risk - return characteristics of different types of bond funds vary. [5] (3) Money - Market Funds - In asset allocation, liquidity is the primary consideration, with inter - bank certificates of deposit, bank deposits, and repurchase transactions accounting for over 90%. The average remaining term is 70 - 85 days, and the leverage ratio is 105% - 110%. The deviation is controlled within 0.1%, and the yield is highly correlated with the fund interest rate. [5] 4. Impact of Fund Institutional Behavior on the Bond Market: Focus on Pricing Power, Seasonality, Product Innovation, and New Trends - **Pricing Power**: Funds have pricing power over most maturities of policy - financial bonds, long - term new Treasury bonds, and 1 - 3 - year credit bonds. [5][10] - **Seasonality**: Although public funds do not have obvious seasonal characteristics in bond - allocation behavior, there have been significant peaks in bond allocation in Q2 and year - end front - running in the past two years. [6][10] - **Product Innovation**: New products in the fund industry can reshape market capital flows and investment structures, bringing structural market conditions. [9][10] - **New Trends**: In a low - interest - rate environment, funds tend to increase duration and focus on trading. With the trend of public fund fee reduction, low - fee index products may see accelerated development. [10]

In terms of deposits, under the low - base effect, the M1 growth rate continued to rise, and M2 was mainly driven by non - bank deposits [5][8]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Credit: Both the household and corporate sectors performed mediocrely - **Household Sector**: In July, both short - term and medium - to - long - term loans were relatively weak, with a combined decrease of 489.3 billion yuan. Short - term loans decreased by 382.7 billion yuan, 167.1 billion yuan less than the same period last year, possibly due to the overdraft effect of the June shopping festival.

Corporate short - term loans decreased by 550 billion yuan, basically the same as last year. Bill financing increased by 871.1 billion yuan, 312.5 billion yuan more than the same period last year.

If no additional bonds were issued at the end of the year, the peak of the annual social financing growth rate might appear in July [3][17]. - **Corporate Bonds**: In July, the willingness to issue corporate bonds was still strong, with a new increase of 27.91 billion yuan, 7.55 billion yuan more than the same period last year. With relatively low bond yields, the willingness to issue bonds increased seasonally, which might also "siphon" corporate loans. Un - discounted bills decreased by 16.39 billion yuan, close to the same period last year, and off - balance - sheet bills continued to be transferred to on - balance - sheet [3][21]. 3.3 Deposits: The growth rates of M1 and M2 continued to rise - **M1**: In July, the new - caliber M1 decreased by 2.9 trillion yuan, 832.4 billion yuan more than the same period in 2024, which was at a relatively high seasonal level.

Driven by the recovery of the equity market, non - bank deposits increased by 2.14 trillion yuan in July, 1.39 trillion yuan more than the same period in 2024. After the cross - quarter in July, corporate deposits showed an outflow state, decreasing by 1.46 trillion yuan, but due to the low - base effect of the general deposit outflow after manual interest compensation in 2024, the decrease was 320.9 billion yuan less year - on - year [3][23][30].
