Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive (Maintained)" [5] Core Insights - In 2025, the gross profit margin of quality real estate companies is expected to show slight recovery, continuing into 2027. This is based on the observation that most projects recognized in 2025 were acquired around 2023, with a less competitive land auction market in 2023 allowing financially strong companies to acquire high-margin land reserves. The "Good House" policy in 2025 is anticipated to further improve the profit margins of high-quality projects [1] - The inventory still faces impairment pressure, with the cumulative decline in housing prices in 50 key cities expected to reach approximately 14% in 2025, an increase of about 1.4 percentage points compared to 2024. The difficulty in selling older inventory may increase due to product iteration trends, and the performance of second-hand housing prices is expected to be below expectations. This could lead to increased inventory impairment pressure for real estate companies [2] - The first half of 2026 is expected to see weak beta for the real estate industry due to strong short-term policy stability and continued weak demand. The second half of 2026 will depend on whether there is further clearing on the supply side, which could positively signal policy release and market confidence recovery. Specific companies such as Jianfa Co., Ltd., Binjiang Group, and China Resources Land are highlighted as potential investment opportunities due to their unique alpha characteristics [3] Summary by Sections - **2025 Core Profit Influencing Factors**: Quality real estate companies are expected to see a recovery in gross profit margins starting in the first half of 2025, driven by favorable land acquisition conditions and supportive policies [1] - **Inventory Impairment Pressure**: The decline in housing prices and challenges in selling older inventory are expected to increase impairment pressure for real estate companies in 2025 [2] - **Investment Recommendations**: The report suggests focusing on companies with positive operational improvements and strategic project locations, while monitoring market conditions in the second half of 2026 [3]

Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: Monte Carlo Backtesting **Model Construction Idea**: Shift from historical path fitting to future robustness testing by generating multiple random paths to evaluate strategy performance across diverse scenarios [1][10] **Model Construction Process**: 1. Generate thousands of random price paths that follow historical statistical characteristics (e.g., return distribution, volatility, correlation) but differ from the original historical path [10] 2. Perform stress tests on strategies across these simulated paths to observe performance under various market conditions [10] 3. Calculate risk metrics such as Sharpe ratio, maximum drawdown, and value-at-risk (VaR) based on the distribution of strategy returns [10] **Model Evaluation**: Effectively reduces overfitting to specific historical paths and provides a more comprehensive robustness assessment [10][46] - **Model Name**: Non-Parametric Monte Carlo Simulation **Model Construction Idea**: Use historical data directly without assuming any parametric distribution, preserving cross-sectional correlation [2][13] **Model Construction Process**: 1. **Method 1**: Multi-Asset Time-Series Return Joint Rearrangement - Extract daily returns of all assets as a "data block" - Randomly sample and sequentially concatenate these blocks to form simulated paths [18] 2. **Method 2**: Multi-Asset Time-Series Return Block Bootstrap - Divide historical returns into fixed-length overlapping/non-overlapping blocks - Randomly sample blocks and concatenate them to form simulated paths [19] **Model Evaluation**: Preserves cross-sectional correlation but disrupts time-series structures like volatility clustering and autocorrelation [14][20] - **Model Name**: Residual Bootstrap (Factor Model-Based) **Model Construction Idea**: Separate systematic risk and idiosyncratic risk using factor models, then randomize residuals for simulation [2][23] **Model Construction Process**: 1. Construct risk factors (e.g., market, size, value, momentum) and calculate historical daily returns [23] 2. Perform cross-sectional regression to estimate factor exposures (β) and extract residual returns [23] 3. Randomly shuffle residuals while preserving cross-sectional correlation [23] 4. Reconstruct paths using historical factor returns and randomized residuals [23] **Model Evaluation**: Useful for analyzing alpha and risk exposure but limited by the explanatory power of the factor model [24][25] - **Model Name**: Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) Simulation **Model Construction Idea**: Assume asset returns follow a normal distribution and simulate paths using drift and volatility parameters [2][28] **Model Construction Process**: $$d S_{i}(t)=\mu_{i}S_{i}(t)d t+\sigma_{i}S_{i}(t)d W_{i}(t),i=1,\ldots,n$$ - \( \mu_{i} \): Drift rate (expected return) - \( \sigma_{i} \): Volatility - \( W_{i}(t) \): Standard Brownian motion Discretized path: $$S_{i}^{(j)}(t_{k})=X_{i}(0)\,e x p[(\,k\Delta t+\sum_{l=1}^{k}\sum_{p=1}^{n}L_{i p}Z_{l,p}^{(j)}\,]$$ - \( L \): Cholesky decomposition of covariance matrix - \( Z_{l,p}^{(j)} \): Independent standard normal random variables [28] **Model Evaluation**: Accurately replicates volatility and correlation but fails to capture tail risks and price jumps [28][47] Model Backtesting Results - **Monte Carlo Backtesting**: - Historical price path Sharpe ratio: 0.96 (25-day window) - Simulated path Sharpe ratio: 0.19 (25-day window, GBM method) [45][46] - **Non-Parametric Monte Carlo Simulation**: - Historical price path Sharpe ratio: 0.96 (25-day window) - Simulated path Sharpe ratio: 0.22 (15-day window, joint rearrangement method) [45][46] - **Residual Bootstrap**: - Historical price path Sharpe ratio: 0.96 (25-day window) - Simulated path Sharpe ratio: 0.19 (25-day window) [45][46] - **Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM)**: - Historical price path Sharpe ratio: 0.96 (25-day window) - Simulated path Sharpe ratio: 0.19 (25-day window) [45][46] Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods - **Factor Name**: Momentum and Volatility Dual Factor **Factor Construction Idea**: Combine momentum and volatility factors using Z-score normalization and equal weighting [35] **Factor Construction Process**: $$S c o r e_{i}=0.5*Z S c o r e_{i,m o m}+0.5*Z S c o r e_{i,v o l}$$ - Momentum and volatility calculated over different window lengths (N ∈ [15, 20, 40]) [35] **Factor Evaluation**: Provides a balanced scoring mechanism for style rotation strategies [35][37] Factor Backtesting Results - **Momentum and Volatility Dual Factor**: - Historical price path cumulative return: 535% (25-day window) - Simulated path cumulative return: 62.25% (15-day window, GBM method) [38][42]
