银行股的想象力 20250519 摘要 • 美国基金金融股配置与标普 500 指数基本一致，分红型蓝筹基金超配，成 长型基金低配。直接将美国数据推导至国内不严谨，需考虑两国市场差异 和居民投资行为。 • 国内居民投资行为受房价下跌影响，更倾向于遵循夏普比率进行资产配置， 长期稳健的投资模式是推动国内公募基金持仓比例变化的重要力量。 • 房地产市场因其相对稳定的收益和较低的回撤风险吸引了大量投资者，而 信托等非标产品吸引力下降，资金寻求新的配置机会，ETF 或被动型产品 填补风险收益比空缺。 • 被动型投资增加也能影响银行股及非银金融股市值占比，长期来看，即使 短期内有波折，这一逻辑仍然成立，且不同基准调整不影响长期趋势。 • 银行股 PB 小于 1，意味着未来收益小于持有机会成本。PB 从 0.5 升至 0.7，是由于宏观背景下其他行业警惕度下降或债券市场收益率走低，持有 银行股机会成本减少。 • 净资产收益率（ROE）下降速度小于持有股票的机会成本下降速度，解释 了当前 ROE 为 0.7 而之前为 0.5 的变化，表明银行股并未被高估。 美国公募基金在金融股的配置方面表现出显著的超配趋势。根据过去十年的数 ...
