Quantitative Models and Construction Quantitative Model Framework: Asset Style Rotation - **Model Name**: Asset Style Rotation Framework - **Model Construction Idea**: The model identifies asset styles based on intrinsic attributes tied to industry lifecycle changes, categorizing assets into five style stages: external growth, quality growth, quality dividend, value dividend, and bankruptcy value. It aims to determine the dominant market style by comparing asset advantages using a priority sequence of g > ROE > D[5][6][9] - **Model Construction Process**: - **Step 1**: Define five asset style stages based on industry lifecycle changes - **Step 2**: Compare asset advantages using the sequence g > ROE > D, where: - g represents growth rate - ROE represents return on equity - D represents dividend yield - **Step 3**: Evaluate whether assets are "good" and whether they are "expensive" to identify advantageous assets - **Step 4**: Focus on the most advantageous sectors based on the current market environment[5][6][9] - **Model Evaluation**: The framework has demonstrated strong explanatory power for A-share style rotation since 2009, achieving an annualized return of 27.35%[16] - **Model Testing Results**: - Annualized return since 2009: 27.35% - Historical excess returns in specific years (e.g., 2017: 27%, 2020: 44%, 2024: 52%)[16][19] --- Quantitative Factors and Construction Factor: Pre-Expected Growth (gf) -
