1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - In the context of volatile equity markets, "Fixed Income +" products are favored by residents for wealth management in 2025. The new "Fixed Income +" products with "+ Fund" can diversify risks and balance risk - return more flexibly. The evolution of "Fixed Income +" is inevitable, and "+ Fund" practice is an imaginative part of this evolution [12] 3. Summary by Directory + Fund Policy and Regulation Highlights - Non - FOF funds investing in public funds must follow public fund holding rules, including specifying investment scope, asset ratio cap, and investment strategies in the fund contract. Existing regulations allow Fixed Income + funds to allocate securities investment funds, and valuation methods have been explored by FOF funds [13][15] Product Practice of Fixed Income + Funds Allocating Funds - Among "Fixed Income +" funds, partial - debt hybrid and second - tier bond funds are at the forefront of "+ Fund". Currently, 143 funds have public securities investment funds in their investment scope, all being these two types. The investment ratio limit for funds is ≤10%, and most products have specific constraints on investable targets [16][19] + Fund: Parallel Development of Active and Passive Funds - Generally, funds are divided into active and passive types. Passive funds are selected based on investment clock style, industry rotation, etc. Active funds are evaluated from quantitative (e.g., style stability, risk - return effectiveness) and qualitative (e.g., fund manager and management company) aspects [21] Broad - based and Industry ETFs are Highly Favored - As of Q3 2025, 47 out of 143 products with funds in the investment scope actually hold funds, with a total holding scale of 3.418 billion yuan. Red - chip funds are the most common choice among heavy - holding funds, and among broad - based indices, the Sci - tech Innovation and CSI 300 indices appear most frequently. Fixed Income + funds have a significantly higher proportion of ETF allocation compared to FOF funds [2][26][30] Performance Analysis of High - performing "Fixed Income +" Products with + Fund - Fund A has an asset value of 7.884 billion yuan, with a 2022 - 2025 net value return of 0%/ - 5%/7%/5% and a 2025 maximum drawdown of - 4%.

Fund B has an asset value of 12.903 billion yuan, with a 2022 - 2025 net value return of 0%/1%/7%/6% and a 2025 maximum drawdown of - 2%. It has a balanced industry allocation and closely follows market hotspots [3][35][42] Feasibility Analysis of + Fund Advantages of Allocating Funds Instead of Individual Stocks/Bonds - Advantages include stronger availability of chips, wider access to assets, smoother transfer of top - down research ideas, more stable product net value fluctuations, and risk hedging with pure - debt positions [51] Disadvantages of Allocating Funds Instead of Individual Stocks/Bonds - The main disadvantage is limited offensive sharpness. When being optimistic about a market segment, there may not be a corresponding fund product [52] Discussion on the Choice between Active and Passive Funds - For industries with insignificant β but prominent α of some companies, subjective efforts are needed to select investment targets. Excellent subjective fund managers may outperform industry ETFs, and ETFs are better than non - professional investors directly investing in individual stocks. Fixed Income + funds can achieve a "pure - debt + thematic fund" product core through "+ Fund" investment [53]
