Report Title - "Technology in the Big Era - 3Q25 Fund Position Analysis" [2] Report Core Viewpoints - Market performance rebounded in Q3, leading to a turning point in fund issuance. The net value of active funds generally recovered, driving the recovery of fund issuance. Historically, when the proportion of active funds with a net value >1 rises above 80%, fund issuance is expected to accelerate, boosting the performance of heavily - held stocks by funds [3]. - The equity position of active funds reached a historical high. In 3Q25, the stock - holding ratio of active equity - biased funds increased by 1.4 pct to 85.6%, and the equity and convertible bond positions of "fixed - income +" funds changed by +2.5 pct and - 1.0 pct to 10% and 7% respectively [3]. - Funds increased their allocation to technology and cyclical sectors while reducing their allocation to consumption, manufacturing, and high - dividend sectors. In terms of overweight ratios, active funds significantly increased their positions in communication and electronics in the TMT sector, as well as non - ferrous metals and petroleum and petrochemicals in the cyclical sector. They reduced their positions in home appliances and food and beverage in the consumption sector, as well as military and automotive in the manufacturing sector, and banks and transportation in the high - dividend sector [3]. - The TMT position ratio reached a historical high, facing downward pressure. In Q3, the concentration of the top 20 heavily - held A - share stocks by funds increased to 33%, the highest since Q3 2022. Historically, the position ratio of around 30% has been a critical point for active fund clustering. In this technological wave, the TMT position ratio has reached 40%. After the breakdown of previous clustering, the position ratio generally declined to below 20% [4]. - Active funds have strong pricing power in the TMT sector. In terms of the position as a proportion of the industry's free - float market capitalization, active funds currently have relatively higher pricing power in the TMT sector than passive funds and foreign capital, and also have a slight advantage in the manufacturing (machinery and military) sector [4]. - Regarding the adjustment of five types of industry funds: TMT funds increased their positions in CPO and PCB while reducing semiconductor and computer software; consumer funds increased their positions in e - commerce and hotels while reducing chemicals and white goods; new energy funds increased their positions in small metals while reducing vehicle manufacturing and electrical equipment; pharmaceutical funds increased their positions in biopharmaceuticals while reducing chemical drugs; cyclical funds increased their positions in small metals and precious metals while reducing industrial metals and rubber [4]. - Funds continued to increase their positions in Hong Kong - listed internet, semiconductor, and non - banking sectors. Internet platforms such as Alibaba and Tencent, which benefit from the AI wave, semiconductor companies like SMIC and Huahong, and insurance companies in the non - banking sector, which benefit from the improvement of asset quality in a bull market, all received increased allocations from funds [4]. - A selected portfolio of heavily - held stocks by funds was screened for stocks with a CAGR of profit expectations >30% and a profit forecast upward revision of more than 5% since October, which are expected to benefit from the incremental liquidity brought by the recovery of fund issuance [5]. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Summary by Directory Public Offering - Market performance in Q3 was strong, and the net value of active funds generally recovered, driving the recovery of fund issuance. Historically, when the proportion of active funds with a net value >1 rises above 80%, fund issuance is expected to accelerate, boosting the performance of heavily - held stocks by funds [6]. Equity Allocation - In 3Q25, due to the technology and manufacturing market, the equity position of active funds reached a historical high, and "fixed - income +" funds also increased their equity allocation. The stock - holding ratio of active equity - biased funds increased by 1.4 pct to 85.6%, and the equity and convertible bond positions of "fixed - income +" funds changed by +2.5 pct and - 1.0 pct to 10% and 7% respectively [11]. Industry Allocation - In terms of overweight ratios, in Q3, active funds significantly increased their positions in communication (+3.5 pct), electronics (+2.4 pct) in the TMT sector, and non - ferrous metals (+0.6 pct) and petroleum and petrochemicals (+0.5 pct) in the cyclical sector. They reduced their positions in home appliances (-1.6 pct), food and beverage (-1.2 pct) in the consumption sector, as well as automotive (-1.1 pct), military (-1.0 pct) in the manufacturing sector, and banks (-0.5 pct), utilities (-0.4 pct), and transportation (-0.4 pct) in the high - dividend sector [13]. - In terms of sub - sectors, hardware such as CPO and PCB were the main sectors for increased positions. The sectors for reduced positions were mainly the weak - performing consumption, innovative drugs, and urban and rural commercial banks [16]. - In Q3, there was a consensus between north - bound funds and active funds in increasing allocations to technology and cyclical sectors such as electronics, media, non - ferrous metals, and petrochemicals. North - bound funds also significantly increased their positions in new energy. In terms of reduced positions, both significantly reduced their allocations to consumption sectors such as food and beverage and home appliances, as well as high - dividend - related banks, utilities, and transportation [18]. Concentration of Heavily - Held Stocks - In Q3, the concentration of the top 20 heavily - held A - share stocks by funds increased to 33%, the highest since Q3 2022, corresponding to the style where small - cap stocks outperformed large - cap stocks [21]. Sector Concentration - Since 2009, the position ratio of around 30% has been a critical point for previous rounds of active fund clustering. In this technological wave, the TMT position ratio has reached 40%. After the breakdown of previous clustering, except for the relatively slow decline in the position ratio of pharmaceuticals + food and beverage from 2020 in the following three years, the position ratio generally declined to below 20% [25]. Relative Pricing Power - In terms of the position as a proportion of the industry's free - float market capitalization, active funds currently have relatively higher pricing power in the TMT sector than passive funds and foreign capital, and also have a slight advantage in the manufacturing (machinery and military) sector [27]. Industry Funds - TMT funds increased their positions in CPO and PCB while reducing semiconductor and computer software; consumer funds increased their positions in e - commerce and hotels while reducing chemicals and white goods; new energy funds increased their positions in small metals while reducing vehicle manufacturing and electrical equipment; pharmaceutical funds increased their positions in biopharmaceuticals while reducing chemical drugs; cyclical funds increased their positions in small metals and precious metals while reducing industrial metals and rubber [30].

The median excess return of the top 20 stocks with increased fund pricing power in Q3 2025 relative to the CSI 300 was 61%, but most of them underperformed in Q4. The median excess return of the top 20 stocks with reduced positions by funds in Q3 was relatively low, only 7% [36][40].
