Group 3: Future Implications - The action plan is expected to lead to more refined management of performance benchmarks, encouraging fund companies to reassess their benchmarks and align them more closely with their investment strategies [8][10]. - As the industry evolves, there is a push for more sophisticated benchmark selection, including the potential use of composite indices instead of relying solely on broad indices [11].

Both indexes perform better than the medium - and long - term pure bond fund index [13]. - Index characteristic differences are reflected in industry distribution, enterprise nature, and duration.

In 2025, eligible credit bond ETFs can also be included in the pledge - style repurchase pool, with specific requirements for eligible credit bond funds [33][34]. 5. Sampling Replication + Active Management Strategy of Bond ETFs - Bond ETFs generally use sampling replication due to the large number of component bonds, fast portfolio adjustment, and weak liquidity of bond indexes. They also use strategies such as increasing duration, adding leverage, investing in treasury futures, and band trading to enhance returns, but it is difficult to obtain excess returns, with most products underperforming the benchmark index [36][37][50]. 6. Regularity of Bond ETF's Discount/Premium Rate - China's bond ETF market mostly shows discount trading, with over 60% of trading days of most products in a discount state. - The discount/premium level is positively correlated with the liquidity of the underlying bond market. For example, local government bond ETFs often trade at a discount with larger standard deviations of discount rates, and credit bond ETFs have more significant changes in discount/premium rates than interest - rate bond ETFs, except for the stable performance of newly - listed market - making credit bond ETFs in 2025 [53][56][59]. - Market sentiment, supply - demand relationship, policy environment, etc., can also affect the discount/premium of bond ETFs.
