我们认为现阶段市场关注度较高、资金增持较多的方向当属现金流策略。以自由现金流收益率为核心选股标准的这一策略，于今年上半年在A股市场 逐步落地，当时市场对其存在不少质疑，且存在不同看法。总结下来，无论是现金流策略还是现金流ETF（159399）都属于偏价值型的范畴，今年以来， 该策略的相关指数已跑赢红利低波指数及其他一些红利策略类指数，作为价值类指数，其推出后的第一年表现相对较好。 在今年二、三季度市场风格整体偏成长的背景下，现金流策略与红利策略确实均明显跑输成长风格指数，同时也跑输了部分宽基指数。但从现阶段对 未来展望，从中长期配置视角出发，我们认为明年整个市场的风格有望更加均衡。现金流策略近期已受到不少资金关注，现金流ETF（159399）近期持续 获得资金净增持。 首先，从现金流策略来讲，其核心关注的是上市公司的自由现金流率，即企业最近四个季度财报中披露的自由现金流除以企业价值，这一指标构成了 指数的核心选股因子。 而红利策略是以上市公司的分红金额除以总市值，也就是股息率来选股，由此可见，两个策略在计算指标的分子与分母上均存在差异。对于自由现金 流率指标，分子对应的是自由现金流，相比于净利润等盈利指标，自 ...
