Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent challenges faced by the arbitrage funds in the context of the stock market, particularly focusing on the performance of the 信创 (Xinchuang) sector and related ETFs following the resumption of trading for key stocks [1][4]. Group 1: Market Performance - On June 10, the major asset restructuring targets, 海光信息 (Haiguang Information) and 中科曙光 (Zhongke Shuguang), resumed trading, with 中科曙光 hitting a daily limit up while 海光信息 initially surged over 8% before closing with a 4% increase [2][4]. - The overall 信创 sector experienced a pullback, with several stocks like 天阳科技 (Tianyang Technology), 深信服 (Shenxinfeng), and 星环科技 (Xinghuan Technology) dropping over 5%, and the 国证信创 and 中证信创 indices declining by 1.49% and 2.32% respectively [5]. Group 2: ETF Performance and Arbitrage Issues - The 信创 ETFs, which had been heavily bought during the suspension of the two stocks, faced significant sell-offs, with declines ranging from 2.5% to 3.8% on the same day [3][6]. - The seven 信创 ETFs collectively saw a substantial increase in trading volume, with 国泰信创 ETF reaching a turnover rate of 57.99% and closing down 2.98%, indicating a shift to a discount state [6][8]. - From May 26 to June 9, these ETFs attracted nearly 70 billion yuan in net inflows, with individual funds like 华夏信创 ETF and 国泰信创 ETF seeing their shares increase by over ten times [8]. Group 3: Operational Challenges in ETF Arbitrage - The operational challenges for ETF arbitrage were highlighted, as the presence of suspended stocks complicates the redemption process, potentially leading to cash instead of stock for those stocks marked as "must" in the cash alternative section [9][10]. - The ETFs' performance is also influenced by the volatility of other constituent stocks, which can affect the overall ETF price, especially in premium situations where the price may already reflect some arbitrage potential [10]. Group 4: Future Outlook - Despite the recent pullback in the 信创 sector, several institutions remain optimistic, citing the ongoing AI Agent trend and the acceleration of commercialization as drivers for a potential annual tech rally [11]. - The 信创 industry is expected to continue evolving towards "technology complementary integration" and "ecosystem construction," indicating a robust outlook for the sector [11].
