The quantitative strategy aims to create a portfolio with strict exposure control, while the active strategy focuses on identifying investment opportunities in niche AI sectors [1][13]. - Since 2025, the performance of Western Lide CSI Artificial Intelligence has closely followed the benchmark index, with a slight lead in returns. It can moderately generate excess returns compared to passive index products and has relatively controllable risks compared to active equity products [1]. - The other products managed by the fund managers also have distinct characteristics. Western Lide Quantitative Optimization One - Year Holding has high turnover, a diversified portfolio, and focuses on small - cap stocks, while Western Lide Juhe has high turnover, high concentration, and obvious industry rotation features [1]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Western Lide CSI Artificial Intelligence: Combining Active and Quantitative Strategies to Seize AI Investment Opportunities 1.1 Management Team - The fund is co - managed by Zhai Zijian (quantitative fund manager) and Wu Haijian (active fund manager). Zhai has an investment manager tenure of 1.73 years, manages 3 products with a total scale of 1.391 billion yuan, and started managing this fund on November 30, 2024. Wu has an investment manager tenure of 3.21 years, manages 2 products with a total scale of 408 million yuan, and started managing this fund on January 2, 2025 [1][5]. - Both managers have achieved good performance in their separately managed products. Zhai's other two products significantly outperformed the benchmark in 2025, and Wu's Western Lide Juhe achieved an excess return of over 15% compared to the benchmark in the first half of 2025 [6]. 1.2 Product Investment Framework - The quantitative part uses a multi - strategy framework including multi - factor and machine - learning strategies, with similar weightings. The goal is to create a portfolio with strict exposure control, limiting style deviations to within ±1% and keeping tracking errors low [13][14]. - The active part aims to identify investment opportunities in niche AI sectors. The research team conducts systematic tracking of the AI track, and the fund manager selects sectors with high prosperity and large space through top - down industry comparisons [14]. - The combination of quantitative and active strategies is an organic cooperation. When there are no clear investment opportunities, the product mainly relies on the quantitative strategy; when opportunities arise, it actively deviates and uses quantitative methods to control the deviation [16]. 1.3 Product Overview - Western Lide CSI Artificial Intelligence was established in June 2021, with a management fee of 1.20% and a custody fee of 0.20%.
