1. Report's Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report analyzes the self - investment performance of banks in 2025 based on the semi - annual report and forecasts their behavior in the fourth quarter. It concludes that bond allocation is expected to support bank expansion, and although there is still room for banks to realize floating profits, the impact on the bond market is expected to be relatively mild [4][11][12]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 From the 2025 Semi - annual Report: Bank Self - investment Performance 3.1.1 Financial Market Returns: Increased Contribution of Realized Floating Profits - The revenue contribution of banks' self - investment business fluctuates upward. Since 2023, the proportion of investment income and fair - value changes in revenue has increased. In the first half of 2025, banks sold old bonds to realize floating profits to cope with the rising bond - market yields [20][23][26]. 3.1.2 Asset Allocation: Financial Investment Drives Balance - sheet Expansion - Since 2024, the year - on - year growth rate of bank financial investment has been rising, and its proportion in total assets has also increased. By the end of June 2025, the year - on - year growth rate of listed banks' financial investment was 14.9%. The OCI account's proportion has been increasing, and large state - owned banks have continuously increased their allocation of government bonds [31]. - In terms of duration, the overall duration of bank financial investment has been extended, but the space for continuous extension may be limited. Structurally, state - owned banks' AC accounts maintain a high duration, and joint - stock banks' OCI accounts have a more obvious duration - extension action [57][59][74]. 3.1.3 Liability Side: Decreased Liability Cost Rate and Declined Inter - bank Certificate of Deposit Balance in Q3 - In the first half of 2025, the weighted average interest - bearing liability cost rate of banks decreased by about 29BP compared with 2024, mainly due to the concentrated maturity and repricing of deposits. The deposit cost rate decreased by 25BP [86]. - Since the second quarter, the central bank's liquidity injection has been abundant, and the balance of inter - bank certificates of deposit has declined. Large state - owned banks have reduced their reliance on inter - bank certificates of deposit, while small and medium - sized banks have shortened the issuance term of inter - bank certificates of deposit to control costs [101][103][115]. 3.2 Outlook for Banks' Behavior in Q4 2025 3.2.1 Asset Side: Bond Allocation Expected to Continue Supporting Balance - sheet Expansion - In the fourth quarter, credit growth is expected to remain weak, and financial investment will still be the main driving force for bank balance - sheet expansion. The decline in liability cost rate has opened up space for bank bond allocation, and the current high spread between 10 - year treasury bonds and 1 - year inter - bank certificates of deposit has increased banks' willingness to allocate bonds [118][121][122]. - Large state - owned banks' pressure to undertake government bond issuance is expected to weaken, and small and medium - sized banks will continue to tilt available funds towards bond investment [128][131]. 3.2.2 Liability Side: Focus on the Issuance Scale of Banks' Inter - bank Certificates of Deposit - Banks may face "deposit migration" pressure in the fourth quarter, and some deposits will mature. Banks may issue inter - bank certificates of deposit preventively when liquidity is relatively loose. The issuance term of large state - owned banks is expected to be longer, while that of small and medium - sized banks is expected to be medium - short [136][138]. 3.2.3 Realizing Floating Profits: Still Some Space, but Limited Impact on the Bond Market - Banks need to smooth their performance in the fourth quarter, and there is still pressure to sell old bonds, but the impact on the bond market is expected to be relatively mild. There are limitations in selling old bonds, including accounting classification rationality, reinvestment pressure, and performance base pressure for 2026 [142][143]. - There is still some demand for banks to realize floating profits in Q4 2025, but the amount of floating profits that can be realized is limited. AC accounts have some selling constraints, and excessive realization of floating profits in OCI accounts may increase the performance base pressure for 2026 [144][151].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report focuses on the product design, operation mechanism, and investment logic of credit bond ETFs. Credit bond ETFs achieve tracking through sampling replication of indexes, with diversified annualized returns and durations, catering to various investment needs. The PCF list, market - maker system, and repurchase system enhance the transparency and tradability of the products. Credit bond ETFs have advantages in risk diversification and liquidity, and offer arbitrage opportunities through price differences between the primary and secondary markets, but costs need careful evaluation [4]. - Credit bond ETFs are becoming increasingly important in asset allocation and liquidity management, with their institutional design and trading mechanisms continuously improving, gradually evolving from emerging products to widely - recognized investment tools [17]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Credit Bond ETF Product Design and Index Tracking - Credit bond ETFs are passive index funds that mainly track credit bond series indexes compiled by China Securities Index and China National Securities Index. They generally use sampling replication instead of full replication due to the large number of individual bonds and significant liquidity differences in the credit bond market. Sampling replication can control tracking errors, reduce transaction costs, and potentially achieve excess returns through active management [19]. - Different indexes have different selection criteria for component bonds, covering aspects such as issuance scale, credit rating, and remaining maturity. The annualized returns of the indexes tracked by credit bond ETFs have been positive in the past three years, showing a trend of decline, rise, and then decline since 2022. There are significant differences in duration characteristics among indexes, with some suitable for long - term and others for short - term investment [25][29]. 3.2 Transparency and Efficiency: PCF List and Market - Making Mechanism - The PCF list is the core tool in the subscription and redemption process, providing information on a basket of bonds and cash substitution arrangements. It includes information from T - 1 days (minimum subscription/redemption unit net value, cash difference, and fund share net value) and T days (estimated cash part, cash substitution ratio limit, etc.), helping investors understand the value and capital requirements of ETFs [36][37]. - The market - maker system consists of primary market - makers and general market - makers (or primary liquidity providers and general liquidity providers in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange). Market - makers have obligations to quote prices, and exchanges evaluate and incentivize them based on service quality. This system enhances the liquidity of credit bond ETFs in the secondary market [69]. - Credit bond ETFs are gradually included in the general collateralized repurchase system, which improves the efficiency of capital use. There are three types of repurchase methods in the bond market, each with different characteristics in terms of standardization, flexibility, and risk [73]. 3.3 Investment Logic: Allocation Value and Arbitrage Space - As a bottom - position allocation tool, credit bond ETFs are characterized by stability and efficiency. They can diversify credit risks, provide stable coupon income, and have strong liquidity, suitable for long - term holding. They can also be used for leverage financing to increase returns, and are an important part of diversified asset allocation [81][82]. - Credit bond ETFs can achieve arbitrage through primary and secondary market trading, including premium arbitrage and discount arbitrage. However, due to the lack of IOPV disclosure in credit bond ETFs, alternative methods are needed for estimation. Additionally, the uncertainty of coupon - replacement costs and the liquidity of component bonds need to be considered during the arbitrage process [91][94].

Investment Rating - The investment rating for the storage industry is "Positive" and is maintained [11]. Core Viewpoints - According to Hynix's Q3 guidance, the demand for DRAM/NAND Flash bits is expected to further increase in 2026 compared to 2025, driven by the ongoing implementation of AI inference [2][7]. - The storage industry is transitioning from a supply-side production control-driven price increase cycle to a demand-driven supply gap formation under AI demand, indicating a significant industry cycle [2][7]. - The growth logic remains dominant, leading to a positive outlook on the storage industry's certain opportunities [2][7]. Summary by Relevant Sections Demand Side - For HDDs, the AI era is driving continuous expansion in storage demand due to the massive data generation. Nearline HDDs are currently experiencing supply shortages, with delivery times extending beyond 52 weeks [11]. - For DRAM and NAND Flash, the ongoing release of AI inference is leading to a definitive growth in demand for semiconductor storage, including HBM, DDR5, and NAND Flash [11]. Supply Side - In recent years, storage manufacturers have not effectively released large-scale production capacity, focusing instead on AI-related demand, gradually shifting existing capacity towards AI storage [11]. - The core change in this storage cycle is the continuous rise in storage demand driven by AI, transitioning from a supply-controlled price cycle to a demand-driven supply gap formation [11]. Price Outlook - The storage market is expected to see price increases in 2026, significantly driven by strong AI demand, with manufacturers continuing to tilt production capacity towards server products, impacting consumer-grade supply [11]. - TrendForce estimates that storage prices are likely to continue rising in 2026, with more pronounced increases in the first half of the year [11]. Investment Opportunities - The report highlights a positive outlook on the storage industry chain, particularly on module and storage design companies benefiting from demand growth, price cycles, and increasing domestic production rates [11]. - Key targets in the Changxin/Changchun industry chain are also favored under the expansion logic of domestic manufacturers [11].
