Quantitative Models and Factor Analysis Quantitative Models and Construction - **Model Name**: Bank Stock Momentum Strategy **Model Construction Idea**: The strategy leverages the momentum of market styles to identify outperforming sub-segments within the banking sector. It assumes that the internal style rotation of bank stocks mirrors the broader market's style rotation, albeit with a lag [28][48]. **Model Construction Process**: 1. Use market-wide style momentum to determine the dominant style (e.g., growth vs. value, large-cap vs. small-cap) based on a two-month relative momentum difference exceeding 5% [48]. 2. Map the dominant market style to corresponding banking sub-segments (e.g., large-cap value, small-cap growth) [28][29]. 3. Select stocks within the identified banking sub-segment for the next month [48]. **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively captures value-style dominance in the banking sector, particularly during market-wide value-oriented phases [48]. - **Model Name**: Fundamental-Adjusted Growth Selection **Model Construction Idea**: To mitigate the downside risk of high-PB (price-to-book) stocks, the model incorporates ROE (return on equity) adjustments to prioritize high-quality fundamentals when selecting growth-oriented bank stocks [58]. **Model Construction Process**: 1. Combine PB and ROE_TTM (trailing twelve months) values into an equal-weighted scoring system [58]. 2. When the signal indicates a growth-oriented market, select stocks with high PB and strong fundamentals [58]. **Model Evaluation**: This adjustment improves annualized returns by 1.82% compared to using PB alone, demonstrating its effectiveness in balancing growth potential and risk [58]. Model Backtesting Results - **Bank Stock Momentum Strategy**: - Annualized Return: 14.45% - Annualized Volatility: 22.62% - Sharpe Ratio: 0.64 - Maximum Drawdown: 33.08% - Excess Annualized Return (vs. CSI Bank Index): 5.65% - Information Ratio (IR): 0.57 [48][49][54] - **Fundamental-Adjusted Growth Selection**: - Annualized Return: 16.27% - Excess Annualized Return (vs. CSI All Share Index): 13.20% - Excess Annualized Return (vs. CSI Bank Index): 7.33% [58] --- Quantitative Factors and Construction - **Factor Name**: Price-to-Book Ratio (PB) **Factor Construction Idea**: Low PB stocks are expected to outperform due to their value-oriented characteristics [32]. **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Divide bank stocks into quintiles based on PB values. 2. Track the performance of the lowest PB quintile over time [32]. **Factor Evaluation**: The low PB group consistently outperformed the CSI All Share Index, particularly during value-dominant market phases [32]. - **Factor Name**: Dividend Yield **Factor Construction Idea**: High dividend yield stocks are expected to provide stable returns, especially in defensive market conditions [32]. **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Divide bank stocks into quintiles based on dividend yield. 2. Track the performance of the highest dividend yield quintile over time [32]. **Factor Evaluation**: While generally effective, the factor underperformed low PB stocks in certain years, indicating weaker pricing power [32]. - **Factor Name**: Market Capitalization **Factor Construction Idea**: Large-cap stocks are expected to outperform during periods of market uncertainty due to their defensive nature [39]. **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Divide bank stocks into quintiles based on market capitalization. 2. Track the performance of the largest market-cap quintile over time [39]. **Factor Evaluation**: Large-cap stocks demonstrated strong performance, particularly after 2023, with a clear upward trend [39]. - **Factor Name**: Return on Equity (ROE) **Factor Construction Idea**: High ROE stocks are expected to outperform due to their superior profitability [39]. **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Divide bank stocks into quintiles based on ROE. 2. Track the performance of the highest ROE quintile over time [39]. **Factor Evaluation**: High ROE stocks outperformed in most years but showed limitations in certain market environments, such as 2014 [39]. Factor Backtesting Results - **PB Factor**: - Outperformed the CSI All Share Index across the entire observation period [32]. - **Dividend Yield Factor**: - Generally outperformed the benchmark but lagged behind the PB factor in specific years [32]. - **Market Capitalization Factor**: - Demonstrated a strong upward trend post-2023, consistently outperforming the benchmark [39]. - **ROE Factor**: - Achieved superior performance in years like 2012, 2017, and 2019, but underperformed in 2014 [39]. --- Composite Factor Analysis - **Composite Model**: Four-Quadrant Style Model **Construction Idea**: Combine market capitalization and PB factors to create four distinct style groups: large-cap value, large-cap growth, small-cap value, and small-cap growth [43]. **Construction Process**: 1. Divide stocks into large-cap and small-cap groups based on the top 20% and bottom 80% of market capitalization. 2. Further divide each group into high-PB and low-PB subgroups. 3. Analyze the performance of the resulting four style groups [43]. **Evaluation**: The model revealed clear style rotations within the banking sector, with small-cap value dominating in 2014-2015 and large-cap value leading post-2022 [43]. Composite Model Backtesting Results - **Four-Quadrant Style Model**: - Small-Cap Value: Outperformed during 2014-2015 - Large-Cap Value: Consistently outperformed post-2022 [43]

Group 1 - The report constructs a style index timing framework based on four dimensions: index valuation, technical indicators, fund flow/crowding, and liquidity, testing the effectiveness of signal models in style index timing [2][7]. - Single indicator timing is built and tested, with valuation signals indicating bullish conditions when the index valuation is extremely low and in an upward trend, while bearish signals occur when the valuation is extremely high and in a downward trend [13][18]. - Technical indicators are less stable, primarily capturing potential trend markets, with low win rates but high odds, performing better in trending markets than in volatile ones [29][32].
