Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Despite the recent market fluctuations caused by quarter - end liquidity, the medium - to long - term allocation value of credit bonds remains intact. High - grade, long - duration credit bonds show strong resilience, and the narrowing decline in wealth management scale indicates stabilizing market sentiment. The supply - demand pattern of the credit bond market is relatively stable, and the yield - mining potential of credit bonds is prominent. The core logic of credit spread compression still holds, and investors are advised to focus on medium - to high - grade urban investment bonds and industrial bonds in stable industries [2][15] Summary by Directory 1. Credit Bond Configuration Value Unchanged by Quarter - End Disturbance - High - grade, long - term credit bond varieties have significant gains. From March 24th to 28th, the total full - price index of national bonds rose 0.25%, outperforming credit bonds (0.11%) and financial bonds (0.09%). Among them, the full - price index of national bonds over 10 years rose 0.72%, and the index of AAA credit bonds over 10 years rose 1.02% [16] - The scale of wealth management products decreased seasonally, but the decline was narrower year - on - year. In the 13th week of 2025, the scale change was - 0.49 trillion yuan, smaller than - 1.41 trillion yuan in 2024 and - 1.10 trillion yuan in 2023 [19] 2. Market Trading Structure and Selling Pressure - At the end of the month, the selling pressure was relieved. The proportion of GVN in interest - rate bonds dropped from 61.35% on March 17th to 32.96% on March 26th, and then rebounded to 48.54% on March 27th. The proportion of GVN in credit bonds was relatively stable, falling from 39.90% on March 17th to 19.20% on March 20th and rising to 31.48% on March 28th [24] 3. Coupon Advantage of Bonds - Brokerage bonds and insurance bonds have relative coupon advantages. This week, short - end bond yields generally declined. For example, the yields of 1 - month urban investment bonds and medium - short - term notes decreased by 3 bp and 1 bp to 1.97% and 2.01% respectively, and the yield of secondary capital bonds decreased significantly by 9 bp to 1.92% [27] 4. Credit Spread Compression Logic - The core logic supporting credit spread compression still holds. Against the backdrop of the "asset shortage", credit bonds are an important choice for capital allocation. The debt resolution work has reduced the credit risk of urban investment platforms. In the second quarter, the supply pressure of credit bonds eases, and the allocation demand is expected to pick up. 3 - year AA+ urban investment bonds are more cost - effective, and for industrial bonds, defensive industries such as public utilities and transportation are recommended [45] 5. Institutional Behavior and Allocation Strategies - Funds and money market funds have continuously increased their holdings in the past two weeks, and insurance companies have allocated long - end local government bonds. Funds have net - bought 305.42 billion yuan in 1 - year credit bonds, 210.95 billion yuan in 3 - year credit bonds, and 143.82 billion yuan in 5 - year credit bonds. Insurance companies have net - bought 275.69 billion yuan in 20 - 30 - year local government bonds and 22.79 billion yuan in 7 - 10 - year credit bonds. Money market funds have net - bought 2470.26 billion yuan in inter - bank certificates of deposit [39] - It is recommended that investors deploy along three main lines: seize the interest - rate elasticity of 3 - year AA+ urban investment bonds, explore mis - valued opportunities in non - bank varieties such as brokerage subordinated bonds and insurance capital bonds, and pay attention to the net - value restoration opportunities of wealth management subsidiaries' products with a low break - even rate. It is necessary to be vigilant about the economic recovery expectation, and the duration strategy should be moderately flexible [9]
