新成立ETF不急于建仓 均衡配置成核心策略

Core Viewpoint - The recent cautious stance of ETF managers contrasts sharply with the heated market environment, indicating a shift towards a more prudent investment approach among institutional investors as they navigate market volatility and style rebalancing [1][5]. ETF Positioning - Several newly established ETFs are adopting a "low position" strategy, with some having equity positions as low as 10% or even close to zero, reflecting a wait-and-see approach before fully deploying capital [1][3]. - For instance, the Huaxia CSI Photovoltaic Industry ETF had an equity position of 33.19% as of November 11, which is below the required thresholds for investment in index components [2]. - Other ETFs, such as the Jiashi CSI Sub-Sector Chemical Industry Theme ETF and the Yifangda CSI Satellite Industry ETF, reported equity positions of 19.99% and 10.02%, respectively, as of early November [2]. Institutional Caution - The cautious behavior of ETFs is notable, as they typically aim to quickly align with their benchmark indices. However, recent listings show a significant delay in building positions, suggesting a more conservative approach from fund managers [4]. - Regulatory guidelines emphasize the need for fund managers to ensure compliance with investment ratios before listing, yet many funds are still in the process of building their portfolios, indicating a cautious market sentiment [4]. Market Dynamics - The Shanghai Composite Index has experienced volatility around the 4000-point mark, with a shift in market focus from technology stocks to sectors like new energy and cyclical stocks, which are showing improved performance [5]. - Institutional attitudes have shifted from aggressive to cautious, with passive funds slowing their pace of investment and actively managed funds also adopting a more conservative stance [5]. Investment Strategies - The concepts of "balanced allocation" and "barbell strategy" are regaining prominence among institutional investors, moving away from the previously favored growth-oriented strategies [6]. - Historical data suggests a tendency for a shift from growth to value styles in the fourth quarter, indicating a potential rebalancing rather than a complete style switch [6]. - Investment firms recommend a barbell strategy, combining high-dividend assets with a focus on quality growth assets, to navigate the current market conditions [6][7].
