Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - The report selects medium - duration investment - grade bond funds with large scales as samples to analyze the duration views and allocation preferences of US bond funds. In the cash bond level, as of Q2 2025, the proportions of Treasury bonds, credit bonds, and MBS in US bond fund holdings are 28.5%, 26.4%, and 36.9% respectively. Since H2 2024, funds have been more cautious about duration allocation, and their under - allocation of duration and inflation concerns may jointly push up the term premium. [3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 0 US Bond Fund Classification - There are various types of US bond funds, including investment - grade bond funds, high - yield bond funds, government bond funds, etc. Investment - grade bond funds have the largest asset size, reaching $248.52 billion, accounting for 46.6% of the total. [4] - The report selects 20 actively - managed bond funds with large scales and using the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index as the performance benchmark as samples, which helps to better understand the duration views and allocation preferences of bond funds. [6] PART1 Cash Bonds: Analyzing Bond Funds' Variety Preferences - **Overall Position Structure**: From the end of 2021 to 2023, bond funds increased their MBS holdings, compressed their credit bond holdings, and slightly reduced their Treasury bond, municipal bond, and cash holdings. As of Q2 this year, the proportions of Treasury bonds, credit bonds, and MBS in US bond fund holdings are 28.5%, 26.4%, and 36.9% respectively. [12] - **Advantages of MBS**: MBS has higher returns than Treasury bonds, lower volatility than credit bonds, low cycle sensitivity, and relatively good valuation. Since 2023, MBS has had better valuation than credit bonds. [13][16] - **Impact on Duration**: MBS has a shorter duration than Treasury bonds and credit bonds. The increase in MBS and ABS holdings has shortened the overall duration of bond fund cash bonds. [17] - **Credit Bond Allocation**: Bond funds mainly reduced their holdings of the industrial sector in credit bonds, while maintaining stable allocations in the financial and utility sectors. From 2022 - 2023, they significantly reduced their holdings of the cyclically - sensitive industrial sector. [22] - **Comparison with Benchmark**: Compared with the benchmark (Bloomberg US Aggregate Index), bond funds are overweight in MBS and finance, and underweight in Treasury bonds and the industrial sector. [23] PART2 Derivatives: Why Do Funds Hold Long Positions in Futures? - **Increase in Treasury Futures Holdings**: Since 2022, asset management companies have significantly increased their long positions in Treasury futures, mainly holding 2Y and 5Y Treasury futures contracts. [26][27] - **Categories of Treasury Futures**: There are multiple categories of US Treasury futures, with different contract amounts and delivery conditions. As of the end of August this year, the open - interest amounts of 2Y, 5Y, 10Y, etc. Treasury futures are different. [33] - **Proportion of Mutual Funds**: As of Q4 2023, mutual funds held about $500 billion in Treasury futures, accounting for nearly half of the Treasury futures holdings of asset management institutions. Since 2022, mutual funds have concentrated on increasing their long positions in 2Y and 5Y Treasury futures. [35] - **Reasons for Holding Long Positions**: Funds hold long positions in Treasury futures to supplement the duration gap at a lower cost, allowing them to reduce the holdings of illiquid long - duration old Treasury bonds and allocate more to higher - yielding MBS/ABS. They also use Treasury futures to add leverage, and are less involved in the repurchase market. [38][43] - **Impact on the Market**: The long - position demand for Treasury futures from funds and the Fed's QT have led to a decrease in the buying of Treasury cash bonds, resulting in negative net basis and attracting hedge funds to engage in basis trading. [50] PART3 Model: Measuring the Empirical Duration of Funds - **Measurement Method**: The report uses the daily returns of 20 selected funds and five independent variables (changes in 10Y US Treasury yield, MBS spread, investment - grade credit spread, 30 - 5Y term spread, and volatility) for rolling regression. The regression coefficient of the 10Y US Treasury yield change is regarded as the empirical duration of the fund, which measures the fund's interest - rate risk exposure. [53][54] - **Relationship with Interest Rates**: Before H1 2024, funds generally adopted a configuration - based approach. Since H2 2024, they have been more cautious about duration allocation, under - allocating duration, and following the trend. Their under - allocation of duration may push up the term premium. [59][61] - **Allocation Preferences in Different Periods**: From 2022 - 2025, funds' allocation preferences changed with inflation, policy interest rates, economic fundamentals, and external shocks. For example, from 2022 - Feb 2023, they were overweight in credit and duration; from Mar - Jul 2023, they steepened the curve, under - allocated credit, and increased MBS allocations. [66][67] - **Asset Allocation Rules**: In the long - term, fund duration is generally positively correlated with interest rates. When the benchmark interest rate is low and credit spreads are relatively high, funds tend to increase credit exposure. When MBS is more attractively valued than credit bonds, funds tend to increase MBS allocations. [69][73][76]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Views - REITs financing can be divided into debt - raising and share - issuing, with share - issuing further split into IPO and expansion. From 2001 to July 2025, in the US REITs market, the average proportions of debt - raising, expansion, and IPO were 49%, 47%, and 4% respectively. China's REITs have a lower leverage ratio cap (29%) than overseas markets, making expansion a more suitable financing form for China's REITs. All implemented expansions in China's REITs so far are private placements of common shares, mainly used for asset purchases [2]. - China's REITs expansion regulatory system consists of the CSRC, exchanges, and the NDRC, and the approval and issuance process takes about 9.7 months. Four important rules for investors in REITs expansion are: 1) After IPO, for newly purchased assets, projects of the same original equity holder should generally be listed through the same REITs platform, with no scale requirement for asset valuation. 2) REITs can apply to the exchange for new asset purchases only after being listed for 12 months. 3) The pricing of public expansion should not be lower than the market price, and that of private expansion should not be lower than 90% of the market price. 4) The lock - up period of expansion shares is about half of that of IPO, with a minimum of 6 months [2]. - The value of expansion assets is slightly weaker than that of IPO assets, and their valuation is also lower. The median ratio of expansion asset valuation to IPO asset valuation is 64%. In terms of asset quality, the scale, geographical level, and profitability of expansion assets are relatively inferior to those of IPO assets. The Cap Rate of expansion assets is 0.28 - 0.61 pct higher than that of IPO assets, indicating that investors require a higher return for expansion assets of lower quality [3]. Summary by Directory 1. Expansion is One of the Main Financing Forms of REITs - REITs financing includes debt - raising, IPO, and expansion. In overseas markets, debt - raising and expansion are the main financing forms, with IPO accounting for a relatively small proportion. From 2001 to July 2025, the average proportions of debt - raising, expansion, and IPO in the US REITs market were 49%, 47%, and 4% respectively. In 2024, the amounts of debt - raising, expansion, and IPO in the US REITs were $48.1 billion, $30.5 billion, and $6.1 billion respectively, accounting for 57%, 36%, and 7%. China's lower leverage ratio cap (29%) makes expansion a more suitable financing form for its REITs [10]. - Overseas, expansion funds can be used for debt repayment and asset purchase. Expansion and other external financings of REITs can be used to pay off debts and acquire assets. Debt repayment can optimize the debt structure during interest - rate decline periods or reduce the leverage ratio when the REITs' debt ratio is too high. Asset purchase often relies on external financing due to the low fund retention rate of REITs. Although expansion for asset - purchase purposes is relatively infrequent, it involves larger financing volumes [12]. - China's REITs financing forms and uses are relatively single. As of September 19, 2025, all 6 REITs expansions in China were private placements of common shares, mainly used for asset purchases, and no expansion for debt - repayment purposes has been seen [16]. 2. Expansion Supervision and Process - China's REITs expansion regulatory system is composed of the CSRC, exchanges, and the NDRC. The rules of the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges are the most direct and comprehensive guidelines for current REITs expansion practices. Important rules for investors include: newly purchased assets of the same original equity holder should generally be listed through the same REITs platform after IPO, with no scale requirement for asset valuation; REITs can apply for new asset purchases after 12 months of listing; public expansion pricing should not be lower than the market price, and private expansion pricing should not be lower than 90% of the market price; the lock - up period of expansion shares is about half of that of IPO, with a minimum of 6 months [19][22][27]. - Referring to existing expansion experiences, the whole process takes about 9.7 months. The longest time - consuming stage is from the exchange's feedback to the issuer's response, with an average of 3.4 months. The time from the exchange's acceptance to the inquiry is highly uncertain, ranging from 0.8 to 12.6 months. After the issuer's response, the issuance rhythm is relatively controllable. Currently, there are 11 projects awaiting expansion, mainly in the affordable housing, industrial park, and consumer sectors [28][29][31]. 3. Comparison between Expansion Assets and Initial Public Offering (IPO) Assets - The value of expansion assets is slightly lower than that of IPO assets, and their quality is also weaker. The median ratio of expansion asset valuation to IPO asset valuation is 64%. In terms of asset quality, the scale, geographical level, and profitability of expansion assets are relatively inferior to those of IPO assets, while there is no obvious difference in the remaining term of sub - sectors [37]. - The valuation of expansion assets is lower than that of IPO assets. The Cap Rate of expansion assets is generally higher than that of IPO assets, ranging from 0.28 pct to 0.61 pct higher, indicating that investors require a higher return for expansion assets of lower quality [43].
