Quantitative Models and Construction Methods 1. Model Name: CRR Pricing Model for Convertible Bonds - **Model Construction Idea**: The CRR pricing model is based on the binomial tree framework, which incorporates embedded options, credit spreads, and other factors to calculate the theoretical value of convertible bonds. This model aims to identify pricing deviations in the convertible bond market and exploit the mean-reversion of these deviations[44][45]. - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Use the CRR binomial tree model to calculate the theoretical value of convertible bonds, considering embedded clauses and credit spreads. 2. Define the "pricing deviation" as the difference between the CRR theoretical price and the market price. 3. Select convertible bonds with the highest CRR price-to-market price ratio within each style (equity-like, balanced, and debt-like) for portfolio inclusion. 4. Portfolio construction: - Initial screening criteria: - Bond rating of AA- or above - Outstanding balance of at least 200 million yuan - Exclude stocks with ST or other special treatments - No historical rating downgrades or negative outlooks - Major shareholder pledge ratio below 90% - Active trading in the past 10 days - Redemption progress less than 5 days - Not below the bond floor - Style classification: - Equity-like: Parity > 110 - Balanced: Parity between 90 and 110 - Debt-like: Parity < 90 - Select the top 10 bonds with the highest CRR price-to-market price ratio in each style, totaling 30 bonds[45][51]. 5. Weighting and rebalancing: Equal weighting with monthly rebalancing[44][45]. - **Model Evaluation**: The CRR pricing model is more accurate than traditional methods like BSM due to its consideration of embedded clauses and credit spreads, making it suitable for identifying pricing inefficiencies in the convertible bond market[15][44]. 2. Model Name: Low Valuation Momentum Strategy for Convertible Bonds - **Model Construction Idea**: This strategy combines low valuation and momentum factors to identify convertible bonds with low conversion premium levels and positive momentum in their underlying stocks[48][49]. - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Initial screening criteria: Same as the CRR pricing model[51]. 2. Style classification: Same as the CRR pricing model[51]. 3. Selection criteria: - Evaluate the relative valuation of convertible bonds (absolute and relative pricing) - Assess the short-term momentum of the underlying stocks - Combine these factors into a comprehensive score and select the top 10 bonds in each style, totaling 30 bonds[51]. 4. Weighting and rebalancing: Equal weighting with monthly rebalancing[51]. - **Model Evaluation**: The low valuation momentum strategy effectively combines valuation and momentum factors, making it a robust multi-factor strategy for convertible bond selection[49][51]. --- Backtesting Results of Models 1. CRR Pricing Model - **Monthly Return**: -0.51%[48] - **Annualized Return**: 15.17%[48] - **Annualized Volatility**: 12.82%[48] - **Maximum Drawdown**: 12.08%[48] - **Return-to-Volatility Ratio**: 1.18[48] - **Return-to-Drawdown Ratio**: 1.26[48] - **Monthly Win Rate**: 61.36%[48] 2.
