Quantitative Models and Construction Methods 1. Model Name: CCBA Pricing Deviation Model - **Model Construction Idea**: The model measures the valuation level of convertible bonds by calculating the pricing deviation, which reflects the difference between the market price and the theoretical price derived from the CCBA model[6] - **Model Construction Process**: The pricing deviation is calculated as: $ \text{Pricing Deviation} = \frac{\text{Convertible Bond Price}}{\text{CCBA Model Price}} - 1 $ This formula evaluates how much the market price deviates from the theoretical price. The CCBA model incorporates factors such as redemption probability adjustments[6][10] - **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively identifies valuation extremes in the convertible bond market, providing insights into market sentiment and potential risks[6][7] 2. Model Name: Convertible Bond & Stock-Bond Rotation Strategy - **Model Construction Idea**: This model uses the pricing deviation to determine the relative attractiveness of convertible bonds versus a stock-bond portfolio, enabling rotation between the two asset classes[10] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Calculate the Z-score of the pricing deviation: $ Z = \frac{\text{Pricing Deviation}}{\text{3-Year Standard Deviation}} $ 2. Apply a ±1.5 standard deviation cap to the Z-score and normalize it: $ \text{Score} = \frac{Z}{-1.5} $ 3. Determine the convertible bond weight: $ \text{Convertible Bond Weight} = 50\% + 50\% \times \text{Score} $ 4. Allocate the remaining weight to the stock-bond portfolio (50% 7-10Y Treasury + 50% CSI 1000 Total Return Index)[10] - **Model Evaluation**: The strategy demonstrates stable excess returns by dynamically adjusting allocations based on valuation levels[10][13] 3. Model Name: Low Valuation Strategy - **Model Construction Idea**: This strategy selects convertible bonds with the lowest pricing deviation to construct a portfolio, aiming to capture undervalued opportunities[21] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Use the CCBA_out model (CCBA model adjusted for delisting risk) to calculate pricing deviation: $ \text{Pricing Deviation} = \frac{\text{Convertible Bond Price}}{\text{CCBA_out Model Price}} - 1 $ 2. Select the 15 convertible bonds with the lowest pricing deviation from each of the three market segments (debt-heavy, balanced, equity-heavy), forming a pool of 45 bonds 3. Ensure bonds meet criteria such as a balance of over 300 million and a rating of AA- or above 4. Overweight undervalued segments and underweight overvalued ones[21] - **Model Evaluation**: The strategy achieves strong absolute and excess returns with high stability, even during challenging market conditions[21][24] 4. Model Name: Low Valuation + Strong Momentum Strategy - **Model Construction Idea**: Combines pricing deviation with stock momentum factors to enhance portfolio elasticity and returns[23] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Use the pricing deviation factor from the CCBA_out model 2. Incorporate stock momentum factors based on the past 1, 3, and 6 months' momentum scores 3. Construct a portfolio by selecting bonds with strong momentum and low valuation[23] - **Model Evaluation**: The strategy delivers higher absolute and excess returns, with increased sensitivity to market trends[23][27] 5. Model Name: Low Valuation + High Turnover Strategy - **Model Construction Idea**: Focuses on convertible bonds with low valuation and high trading activity to capture liquidity-driven opportunities[27] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Select the bottom 50% of convertible bonds based on pricing deviation 2. Within this pool, prioritize bonds with high turnover using metrics such as: - Convertible bond turnover rate (5-day and 21-day) - Ratio of convertible bond turnover to stock turnover (5-day and 21-day) 3. Construct the portfolio based on these criteria[27][30] - **Model Evaluation**: The strategy achieves robust absolute and excess returns, particularly in liquid market conditions[27][30] 6. Model Name: Balanced Debt-Enhanced Strategy - **Model Construction Idea**: Enhances returns by combining low valuation, turnover, and momentum factors, while excluding equity-heavy bonds[30] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Select the bottom 50% of convertible bonds based on pricing deviation 2. Exclude equity-heavy bonds to form a debt-heavy pool 3. Apply turnover and momentum factors to the debt-heavy pool 4. For balanced bonds, use turnover factors only[30][33] - **Model Evaluation**: The strategy achieves high absolute returns with controlled volatility and drawdowns, making it suitable for risk-averse investors[30][33] 7. Model Name: Credit Bond Substitution Strategy - **Model Construction Idea**: Replaces convertible bonds with credit bonds when the yield-to-maturity (YTM) of convertible bonds exceeds that of 3-year AA-rated credit bonds by 1%[33] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Screen convertible bonds with: $ \text{Convertible Bond YTM} + 1\% > \text{3-Year AA Credit Bond YTM} $ 2. Select the top 20 bonds with the highest 1-month stock momentum for allocation 3. Limit individual bond weight to a maximum of 2% 4. Use volatility control methods to reduce short-term drawdowns and allocate remaining weight to credit bonds[33][35] - **Model Evaluation**: The strategy achieves moderate absolute returns with low volatility and drawdowns, making it suitable for conservative investors[33][35] 8. Model Name: Volatility Control Strategy - **Model Construction Idea**: Combines low valuation and strong momentum factors with volatility control to maintain portfolio stability[35] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Select the top 15 convertible bonds with the highest combined scores of low valuation and strong momentum from each market segment (debt-heavy, balanced, equity-heavy) 2. Combine these enhanced strategies with credit bonds 3. Use volatility control methods to cap portfolio volatility at 4%[35][38] - **Model Evaluation**: The strategy achieves stable absolute returns with low volatility and drawdowns, making it suitable for risk-averse investors[35][38] --- Model Backtest Results 1.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The recent price increase is structural and unlikely to have a trend - setting impact on interest rates. The central bank may keep monetary policy stable or make minor adjustments, and the bond market may recover after a short - term shock [5][16][35] Group 3: Summary Based on Related Content 1. Current Price Situation - In December 2025, CPI increased by 0.1 percentage points year - on - year to 0.8%, rising for 4 consecutive months to the highest level since March 2023. PPI's year - on - year decline narrowed, and its month - on - month figure was at or above zero for 5 consecutive months, reaching the highest level since September 2024 [1][8] 2. Structural Characteristics of Price Increase - **CPI**: Gold price increases have continuously pushed up CPI. The year - on - year growth rate of other supplies and services in CPI rose from 3% - 5% in 2024 to 5% - 17% in 2025, contributing 0.5 percentage points to the year - on - year CPI growth rate in December 2025. In the past two months, vegetable prices have also had a short - term impact, with the contribution to CPI year - on - year growth rising from about - 0.3% to 0.3% and 0.4% in November and December [2][9] - **PPI**: It is mainly driven by the non - ferrous metals industry. From August to December 2025, the cumulative month - on - month increases in PPI of non - ferrous metal mining and dressing and non - ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industries were 14.9% and 8.7% respectively [2][9] 3. Impact of Price Increase on Interest Rates - **Lack of Impact on Corporate Profit and Financing Demand**: Although PPI has improved, corporate profits have not improved. In November 2025, the total profit of industrial enterprises decreased by about 13% year - on - year, so it is difficult to drive up corporate financing demand [3][17] - **Limited Monetary Policy Response**: The central bank's monetary policy has limited ability to regulate input - driven and industry - concentrated price increases. Referring to the situation of pork prices in 2019, the central bank may not respond significantly [4][17] 4. Historical Cases of Limited Impact of Structural Price Increase on Interest Rates - **2019 Pork Price Case**: In the second half of 2019, pork prices significantly pushed up CPI, but the central bank did not tighten monetary policy. Instead, it kept interest rates stable and even cut the MLF rate by 5bps in November 2019 [4][17] - **2021 Coal Price Case**: In 2021, coal prices soared due to supply - side factors, and PPI rose significantly. The central bank regarded it as a short - term cost shock, maintained normal monetary policy, and did not significantly raise the interest rate center [24][26]
