Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the common misconception that asset allocation is synonymous with chasing rising assets, highlighting the cognitive trap that confuses market price phases with allocation logic [4][5][6]. Group 1: Investment Theory - The classic Markowitz portfolio optimization theory indicates that asset allocation is directly proportional to expected returns and inversely proportional to volatility [9]. - Historical data is often used to estimate future expected returns and volatility, leading to a "chasing" effect where assets with higher past returns receive higher allocation [10][12]. - The Black-Litterman model and other improved versions of portfolio optimization incorporate subjective investor expectations, yet still exhibit a tendency to chase rising assets due to cognitive biases [13]. Group 2: Behavioral Finance - The concept of "availability bias" in behavioral finance explains why investors tend to chase rising assets, as they rely on easily recalled information rather than comprehensive data [14]. - In the digital age, the prevalence of real-time information and social media amplifies this bias, leading to potentially detrimental investment decisions [14]. Group 3: Avoiding Chasing Behavior - Establishing an objective analysis framework is crucial for independent judgment and contrarian investing, as demonstrated by the analysis of U.S. inflation trends [16][21]. - Recommendations for avoiding chasing behavior include distinguishing between long-term logic and short-term variables, minimizing the pursuit of short-term performance, and diversifying asset allocation to create a richer "return stream" [23][24][25]. - Understanding the difference between style beta and alpha is essential for investors to avoid chasing funds based solely on past performance [28]. Group 4: Investment Strategy - The article advocates for a simplified investment strategy, such as the "Snowball Three-Part Method," which emphasizes diversification across global asset classes to mitigate volatility and enhance long-term returns [29][30].

Core Viewpoint - The global capital system is undergoing a deep reassessment, with asset management institutions shifting from a "return-first" approach to a "certainty-first" strategy, highlighting the renewed importance of gold as a stabilizing asset in diverse investment portfolios [1][14]. Group 1: Gold's Role in Asset Management - Gold's unique attributes, such as independence from cash flow and sovereign credit, make it a crucial stabilizing asset, or "ballast," in various investment strategies [1][14]. - The price of gold has increased by over 27% this year, leading to a surge in "gold+" financial products, with some products achieving annual returns of 31.38% [2]. - Asset management institutions are accelerating the development of "gold+" products as a new source of stable returns amid declining fixed-income yields and increased volatility in equity assets [2][3]. Group 2: Domestic vs. Global Trends - Domestic insurance asset management institutions have a higher allocation to "gold+" compared to banks and public funds, with some products allocating up to 50% to gold [3]. - In contrast to global asset managers who view "gold+" as a strategic component for hedging against extreme market conditions, domestic managers often see it as a tactical investment tool [3][11]. - The understanding of "gold+" as a long-term strategic asset is still developing in domestic markets, with many managers focusing on short-term gains rather than long-term stability [11][12]. Group 3: Factors Driving "Gold+" Adoption - Global asset managers are increasingly adopting "gold+" strategies to hedge against stock and bond market volatility, currency depreciation, geopolitical risks, and inflation [7][8]. - The performance of gold during past financial crises has demonstrated its effectiveness as a protective asset, leading to a growing interest in increasing gold allocations in investment strategies [8]. - A report indicates that 21% of family offices globally plan to increase their allocation to gold and precious metals, particularly in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, which may drive further development of "gold+" products [9]. Group 4: Challenges and Future Outlook - Domestic asset management firms face challenges in integrating "gold+" into their long-term strategies, often viewing it as a short-term tactical investment rather than a strategic asset [11][12]. - There is a need for improved communication within the industry to enhance understanding of gold's role in risk mitigation and long-term returns [4][12]. - The World Gold Council is working with domestic asset management institutions to promote the benefits of "gold+" strategies in navigating financial market risks and achieving stable returns [13].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the limitations of market timing in investment strategies, emphasizing that long-term asset allocation is more critical for achieving investment success than attempting to time the market [3][16]. Group 1: Market Timing Analysis - Peter Lynch's analysis from 1965 to 1995 shows that even with perfect timing, the difference in annualized returns between the best and worst timing investors is minimal, with only a 1.1% difference [4][6]. - In the Chinese A-share market, from 2005 to 2024, the annualized return for the worst timing investor is 3.71%, while the best timing investor achieves 7.82%, indicating a 4.11% difference in a more volatile market [9][10]. - The costs associated with active management in China are approximately 2.2% annually, which can diminish the perceived benefits of market timing [12][15]. Group 2: Asset Allocation vs. Market Timing - Research by Brinson, Hood, and Beebower indicates that 91.5% of investment returns are determined by asset allocation, far exceeding the impact of market timing and stock selection [18]. - Asset allocation is defined as a long-term strategy (5-10 years) that involves creating a diversified portfolio based on risk-return objectives, while market timing is a short-term strategy focused on buying low and selling high [20][21]. - Tactical asset allocation can enhance returns during market cycles but should be a disciplined adjustment around a strategic asset allocation framework [23]. Group 3: Costs of Market Timing - The article highlights that market timing is a probability game that can lead to significant costs, including missing out on market rebounds and compounding returns [25][29]. - A hypothetical scenario illustrates that even with a 70% success rate in timing, the actual benefits may be negligible when considering transaction costs and the risk of missing out on bull markets [30][31]. - The importance of being invested during market opportunities is emphasized, as asset allocation allows investors to remain engaged in the market without the need for precise predictions [31].

Group 1 - The report indicates that in August, the market may return to a barbell structure, with an increase in commodity asset allocation and a marginal rise in risk asset allocation [2][4][6] - The updated BL model suggests that the allocation of risk assets will continue to show relative strength, with a marginal increase in commodity asset positions and a slight decrease in stock assets [4][8] - The report highlights that the A-share market style is expected to shift towards low valuation, weak profitability, and small-cap stocks, with a potential short-term recovery in the barbell style [4][20][23] Group 2 - The report notes that the high profitability and high valuation factors performed strongly in July, aligning with previous predictions [13][20] - It is anticipated that the market will face a phase of adjustment in August, particularly for the profitability factor, which has rebounded quickly but may be overvalued [20][23] - The report emphasizes that the focus for the upcoming month should be on the North China 50 and Shanghai Composite Index, as they align with the predicted market style [23][24]
