- Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - In 2025, the continuous policy support has driven the expansion of the science - innovation bond market, and the science - innovation bond ETF has been quickly launched. The first batch of 10 science - innovation bond ETFs are scheduled to be issued on July 7, 2025 [1][2][11][13]. - The first - batch science - innovation bond ETFs track three major indices: the AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index, the Shanghai AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index, and the Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index. These indices have different characteristics in terms of return - risk, remaining maturity, weighted duration, bond rating, issuer industry, remaining face value, and collateral ratio [3]. - The expansion of science - innovation bond ETFs brings investment opportunities. Institutions have started to increase their allocation of science - innovation bond index constituent bonds. Three types of potentially beneficial targets can be pre - arranged: targets that are both science - innovation bond index constituent bonds and exchange benchmark market - making varieties, science - innovation bond targets with remaining excess spread protection, and targets with a remaining maturity of 3 - 4 years [5]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Science - Innovation Bond ETF Launch Background - In 2025, policies on science - innovation bonds were continuously strengthened. In March, the central bank governor proposed to build a "science and technology board" in the bond market. In May, relevant policies were introduced to support the issuance of science - innovation bonds, including expanding the issuer scope, encouraging the creation of science - innovation bond ETFs, and improving the risk - sharing mechanism [12][13]. - Since the new policy was issued, the issuance scale of science - innovation bonds has exceeded 620 billion yuan, and the outstanding scale has reached 2.5 trillion yuan, providing sufficient underlying assets for science - innovation bond ETFs [2]. - The issuers of new science - innovation bonds are mainly central and local state - owned enterprises, with a relatively high proportion of financial enterprises. In terms of industry, they are mainly concentrated in the banking and building decoration industries [17]. 3.2 Science - Innovation Bond ETF Issuance Overview and Index Comparison 3.2.1 First - Batch Science - Innovation Bond ETFs and Index Products - As of July 6, 2025, 10 fund companies plan to issue science - innovation bond ETFs on July 7, 2025. Six companies' ETFs track the AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index, three track the Shanghai AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index, and only Invesco Great Wall's ETF tracks the Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index [22]. - Thirteen fund companies have reported science - innovation bond index funds (non - ETFs), all of which are benchmarked against the Shanghai AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index [24]. 3.2.2 Science - Innovation Bond Index System - Currently, the China Securities Index Company and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange have issued science - innovation bond indices. The China Securities Index Company has issued two series: the CSI Science - Innovation Bond Index series and the Shanghai Science - Innovation Bond Index series. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange has issued the Shenzhen Science - Innovation Bond Index [26]. 3.2.3 Main Index Comparison - In terms of index compilation methods, there are differences in the base period, sample space, sampling method, and weighting method among the three indices [30]. - In terms of cumulative returns from December 30, 2022, to July 3, 2025, the AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index and the Shanghai AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index had relatively high and similar returns, while the Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index had relatively lower returns [31]. - In different stages, the Shanghai AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index had better return performance, and the Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index had the lowest annualized volatility, the lowest maximum drawdown, and the highest return - risk ratio in the whole period [34]. - The remaining maturity distributions of the three indices are concentrated in 1 - 5 years, with a small amount of weight in 0 - 1 year and 7 - 10 years. The Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index has a relatively shorter remaining maturity [35]. - The Shanghai AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index has the highest weighted duration, and the Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index has the lowest, which may be part of the reason for the return differences among the indices [36]. - The AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index and the Shanghai AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index have a higher proportion of high - rated constituent bonds than the Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index [39]. - The constituents of the AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index and the Shanghai AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index are mainly distributed in the construction industry, while those of the Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index are mainly in the comprehensive and manufacturing industries [43]. - The issuers of the three indices' constituent bonds are mainly central and local state - owned enterprises. The Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index allocates nearly 5% of public enterprise bonds [46]. - The remaining face values of the three indices' constituent bonds are concentrated between 500 million yuan and 2 billion yuan, and the distribution of the Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index is more dispersed [48]. - The collateral ratios of the three indices' constituent bonds are generally distributed between 80% and 100%, and the Shenzhen AAA Science - Innovation Bond Index has a more concentrated weight in the 70% - 90% range [48]. 3.3 Investment Opportunities in Bonds Brought by Science - Innovation Bond ETFs - Since mid - June, the excess spread of science - innovation bond index constituent bonds has significantly compressed, and there has been a valuation deviation between constituent bonds and non - constituent bonds of the same issuer. The turnover rate of science - innovation bond index constituent bonds has significantly increased, indicating that institutions have started to increase their allocation [5][51][56][57]. - Considering the future expansion of science - innovation bond ETFs, three types of potentially beneficial targets can be pre - arranged: targets that are both science - innovation bond index constituent bonds and exchange benchmark market - making varieties, science - innovation bond targets with remaining positive excess spread, and targets with a remaining maturity of 3 - 4 years [5][61][62].
