Shenwan Hongyuan Securities· 2025-12-21 13:15
Group 1: Report Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - Based on fund holdings, innovation - driven technology industry funds can be classified into five categories: "Technology + Satellite", "Sub - sector Track", "Technology Rotation", "Technology Balance", and "Sector Rotation". Most fund managers adopt "Sub - sector Track" and "Technology + Satellite" strategies, while few use the "Sector Rotation" strategy [3]. - The overall investment capabilities of innovation - driven technology industry funds are as follows: Their performance is slightly weaker than the sector index, which is related to insufficient technology positions in the samples. They are relatively good at stock - picking in the electronics, communication, and media industries but not in the computer industry. Fund managers of these funds have stronger stock - picking abilities for technology stocks compared to those of all - industry funds [3]. - When comparing pharmaceutical industry funds with different style characteristics from seven dimensions: High turnover does not necessarily lead to high returns. There is a significant positive correlation between the growth and quality of the stocks held by innovation - driven technology industry funds. The market - value style of the stocks held by technology funds is generally balanced. The left - right side investment of technology funds is generally to the right of the market median. By analyzing the skewness and kurtosis coefficients of the stock - picking return distribution, fund managers with stronger stock - picking ability confidence can be found. By looking for similar funds and analyzing their performance in favorable and unfavorable environments, the environmental adaptability of fund managers can be characterized. The performance distribution of sub - sector rotation is scattered. In the past year, top - performing products have mainly invested in AI - themed track stocks [3]. - To screen the observation list of innovation - driven technology industry funds, the following quantitative indicators can be referred to: excess performance momentum, performance in favorable and unfavorable environments, stock - picking ability, left - right side investment ability. For rotation - type products and "Technology + Satellite" style products, the sub - sector rotation effect should be additionally considered. Other factors to consider include a relatively long tenure of the fund manager and an appropriate fund size [3]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Classification of Innovation - Driven Technology Industry Funds - **Classification Method**: Based on the holdings of innovation - driven technology funds, two major sub - sectors are identified: AI - related (including AI computing power, other AI devices, and AI applications) and other Shenwan industry - corresponding classifications. Funds are further divided into five types according to their allocation ratios and rotation characteristics: "Technology + Satellite" (60% - 70% average allocation to innovation - driven technology), "Sector Rotation" (less than 60% average allocation), "Sub - sector Track" (average sub - sector allocation > 40% and latest allocation > 50%), "Technology Rotation" (average one - way annualized turnover rate of internal primary industries in technology > 60%), and "Technology Balance" [12]. - **Scale and Quantity Distribution**: "Sub - sector Track" funds are dominant in terms of scale and quantity, mainly investing in AI - related sub - sectors. "Technology + Satellite" and "Technology Balance" products also have relatively prominent scale and quantity [13]. - **Overall Situation of Technology ETFs**: In 2025, the scale of innovation - driven technology funds and technology ETFs was generally similar, but the scale of technology ETFs increased more significantly starting from Q2. Most of the top - scale technology ETFs track the Hong Kong Stock Connect Internet/Hang Seng Technology Index. High - scale technology ETFs focusing on A - shares include those related to the Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Board and the China Securities Index of Semiconductor Chips [21]. - **Overview of All Tracked Indexes of Technology ETFs**: A list of indexes with a tracking scale of over 2 billion yuan by technology ETFs is provided, including details such as the index code, name, tracking ETF scale, number of tracking ETFs, and management and custody fees [22]. - **Weighted Stocks and Concentration Characteristics of Tracked Indexes of Technology ETFs**: The concentration and top - ten component stocks of representative tracked indexes of technology ETFs are presented, showing the distribution of component stocks in different indexes [23]. 2. Shareholding Characteristics: Can Innovation - Driven Technology Industry Funds Generate Positive Excess Returns? - **Overall Excess Returns**: As a whole, innovation - driven technology industry funds do not perform outstandingly compared to passive indexes, which is related to the technology concentration. The samples include many funds with low technology positions or rotation characteristics, making it difficult to outperform comparable indexes during some periods of excellent performance in the innovation - driven technology sector [29]. - **Excess Returns by Industry**: These funds are relatively good at generating excess returns in the electronics, communication, and media industries but not in the computer industry [30]. - **Stock - Picking Ability for Technology Stocks**: Fund managers of innovation - driven technology industry funds have stronger stock - picking abilities for technology stocks compared to those of all - industry funds. The weaker performance of the funds compared to the index is mainly due to insufficient technology positions [33]. - **Shareholding Characteristics Compared with Balanced Funds**: Innovation - driven technology industry funds and balanced funds have a high degree of consistency in their preference for sub - sectors, only differing in the absolute values of holding ratios. Innovation - driven technology industry funds pay more attention to AI computing power - related stocks, while balanced funds also focus on chips, AI applications, etc. [38]. - **Cluster Analysis**: Through cluster analysis, technology industry funds can be divided into five types. Types 1 - 3 mainly focus on AI - related stock investments, Type 4 includes "Technology + Satellite" or "Technology Balance" funds with low technology positions, and Type 5 includes "Technology Balance" + some AI device - type funds with relatively poor performance [41]. 3. Comparison of Innovation - Driven Technology Funds with Different Style Characteristics - **Turnover and Trading Dimension**: In the past year, technology theme funds with moderate turnover have an overall advantage. In the past two years, there are top - performing products among both medium - high turnover and low - turnover funds. However, extremely high - turnover funds generally do not have excellent performance [44][47]. - **Shareholding Style Dimension**: - **Growth and Quality**: There is a significant positive correlation between the growth and quality of the stocks held by technology theme funds. Top - performing technology products generally balance growth and quality [51]. - **Market - Value Style**: The market - value style of the stocks held by technology funds is generally balanced. The AI computing power and AI device sectors are more inclined to large - and medium - cap stocks, while the computer, software development, and media sectors are more inclined to small - and medium - cap stocks. There are top - performing products in both large - and medium - cap and market - value rotation styles [56]. - **Popularity of Shareholding Dimension**: The proportion of technology sectors in market - preferred stocks has increased significantly in recent periods, and the structure has changed significantly. There are top - performing products in all types of products in terms of shareholding popularity, with those mainly holding market - preferred stocks performing slightly better in the past two years [59]. - **Left - Right Side Dimension**: Overall, the left - side buying coefficient of technology theme funds is to the right of the median of active equities. There are top - performing products in both left - side and right - side investment styles in the past two years, mostly from AI - related sectors [63]. - **Stock - Picking Ability Dimension**: By calculating the skewness, kurtosis, and mean/standard deviation of the stock - picking return distribution of technology funds, products with moderately right - skewed, moderately peaked distributions and high mean/standard deviation values are selected. Most of these products are in the AI device and AI computing power sectors and can achieve over 130% returns in the past two years [66]. - **Favorable and Unfavorable Environment Dimension**: By using the performance of similar funds as the beta environment, the favorable and unfavorable environments of fund products can be effectively divided. Different types of products show different adaptability to market environments. For example, products with strong performance in unfavorable environments and relatively balanced performance in both environments are mostly AI device and technology - balanced products, while products with strong performance in favorable environments are relatively more concentrated in the AI computing power sector [70]. - **Sub - sector Rotation Dimension**: The sub - sector rotation performance of technology theme funds is scattered, indicating a large difference in the industry rotation effect among different products. There are actively rotating, rotation - downplaying, and timely rotating products among technology theme products [76]. - **Top - Performing Products in the Past Year**: The top - performing technology products in the past year are mostly AI computing power and AI device - themed products, significantly outperforming the overall technology funds. Most of these products had similar holdings in 25Q2, with many heavily investing in Xinyisheng and Zhongjixuchuang. Most top - performing products showed significant performance elasticity in Q3 [81]. - **QDII Active Technology Funds**: There are currently a small number of QDII active equity funds focusing on global technology investment opportunities. Their investment methods vary significantly, including those considering opportunities in the Greater China region and US - listed technology companies or Chinese concept stocks with regional rotation, those focusing on US stocks, those with distinct regional allocation characteristics, and those mainly investing in overseas index funds [82][85]. 4. Observation List of Technology Funds - **Selection Criteria**: Quantitative indicators such as excess performance momentum, performance in favorable and unfavorable environments, stock - picking ability, left - right side investment ability, and sub - sector rotation effect (for rotation - type and "Technology + Satellite" style products) are considered. Other factors include a relatively long tenure of the fund manager and an appropriate fund size. For new fund managers, the time - length and scale requirements can be moderately relaxed. Only one product per fund manager per category is selected, excluding fixed - term and holding - period products [89]. - **Observation List**: A list of technology funds is provided, including details such as the primary and secondary classifications, fund code, abbreviation, fund manager, tenure, fund size, and performance indicators in the past two years [91].
