Core Insights - The report predicts changes in the yield curve using the Nelson-Siegel model, which describes the curve's dynamics through three factors: level, slope, and curvature [3][29]. - An improvement in the model for predicting the level factor has been made by incorporating policy rates, market benchmark rates, slope, and curvature factors, which enhances the predictive accuracy [4][56]. - The duration rotation strategy based on yield curve predictions shows robust performance, consistently outperforming benchmarks and achieving significant excess returns [5][91]. Duration Rotation Strategy - The latest signal from the duration rotation strategy, as of October 31, 2025, indicates a strong preference for long-duration interest rate bonds, with a signal value of 10 [6][96]. - The strategy is designed to capitalize on the natural "risk-return-liquidity" trade-offs present in different maturity bonds, where short-term bonds offer lower duration and volatility but higher reinvestment risk, while long-term bonds provide higher coupon protection but are more exposed to interest rate risk [10][14]. Yield Curve Construction - The report establishes the yield curve using historical spot rate data from 2006 to 2025, showing that the average yield curve is monotonically upward over the entire period [21][22]. - Principal component analysis of historical spot rates reveals three main components that represent the level, slope, and curvature of the yield curve, providing insights into its dynamics [26][41].

Backtesting Results - Backtesting results demonstrate that the improved duration rotation strategy yields a total return of 110.37% over the evaluation period, significantly outperforming various maturity indices and equal-weighted indices [91][95]. - The strategy's maximum drawdown is reported at 5.36%, which is lower than the maximum drawdown of 7.23% for the 7-10 year index, indicating a more stable performance [95].
