Against this background, bond funds actively explored returns in terms of variety and duration in Q4, while remaining relatively cautious about credit downgrading [5]. - From the overall situation of bond fund heavy - holdings, the return range was further compressed, and institutions tended to adopt conservative strategies. The yields of the heavy - holding bond issuers were highly concentrated in the low - return range below 1.8%, and the scale of high - yield assets above 2.5% continued to shrink [5]. - For heavy - holding of urban investment bonds, the regional level showed a downward trend, with a preference for short - term durations. Zhejiang and Jiangsu were still the core heavy - holding regions, but the allocation intensity decreased. Institutions' preference for regions such as Sichuan, Shanghai, and Hunan increased. In terms of term distribution, the scale of each province was mainly concentrated around 1 - year, and as the term lengthened, the holding preference converged significantly towards strong provinces [5]. - For heavy - holding of financial bonds, bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds dominated the allocation, and there was an obvious trend of variety downgrading. Financial bonds accounted for 72% of all heavy - holding credit bonds, with bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds as the core varieties, and the allocation was relatively concentrated in the medium - to - high - yield range of 2.0% - 2.5%. In terms of term, a dumbbell - shaped allocation was preferred [5]. - For heavy - holding of industrial bonds, the allocation was concentrated in core industries, and institutions were more cautious about real - estate bonds. Non - bank finance and public utilities were the top two industries in terms of total market value of holdings, and were significantly increased in holdings compared with the previous period. Industries such as real estate, transportation, and coal were significantly reduced in holdings [5]. 3.
