Core Viewpoint - Bank wealth management serves as a common investment method, providing investors with opportunities to participate in financial markets and achieve asset preservation and appreciation. However, understanding the common risks associated with bank wealth management is crucial for investors [1] Market Risk - Market risk is a significant risk faced by bank wealth management products, influenced by changes in financial markets such as interest rates, exchange rates, and stock and bond market fluctuations. Interest rate risk is a key component; when market interest rates rise, the attractiveness of fixed-income wealth management products declines, potentially lowering their prices. Conversely, when market interest rates fall, the performance of wealth management products may improve. Exchange rate risk mainly affects wealth management products involving foreign exchange, where fluctuations can lead to losses during currency conversion. Additionally, volatility in stock and bond markets can impact related wealth management products, particularly those invested in stocks or equity funds, which may face asset value depreciation during stock market downturns [2] Credit Risk - Credit risk refers to the risk of default or deterioration in the credit status of the entities in which wealth management products invest, leading to potential losses of expected returns or principal for investors. Funds from bank wealth management products may be directed towards various entities, such as corporations and government agencies. If a corporation performs poorly and cannot repay its debts, or if a government faces fiscal difficulties and fails to meet its debt obligations, the returns on wealth management products may be negatively affected. Banks conduct credit assessments and screenings of investment targets when issuing wealth management products, but even with rigorous evaluations, credit risk cannot be entirely eliminated [3] Liquidity Risk - Liquidity risk manifests when investors cannot timely liquidate wealth management products when needed or suffer losses during the liquidation process. Some bank wealth management products have fixed investment terms, preventing investors from redeeming funds early during the product's duration. Even if early redemption is allowed, it may incur fees or be redeemed at prices lower than the purchase price, reducing actual returns for investors. Furthermore, during periods of overall market liquidity stress, banks may face funding pressures, making it difficult to meet investors' early redemption requests, thereby exacerbating liquidity risk [4] Operational Risk - Operational risk encompasses losses arising from inadequate or problematic internal processes, human errors, system failures, or external events during the operation of wealth management products. For instance, bank staff may fail to adequately explain the risk terms and return structures of products during the sales process, leading to misjudgment by investors. In the operational phase, if a bank's internal risk management system malfunctions, it may miss optimal investment opportunities or fail to effectively control risks. Additionally, external factors such as cyberattacks or natural disasters can disrupt normal bank operations, negatively impacting the investment returns of wealth management products [5] Policy Risk - Policy risk arises from changes in national macroeconomic policies and financial regulatory policies. Adjustments in government fiscal and monetary policies can have widespread effects on financial markets. For example, changes in tax policies may affect the return levels of wealth management products, while loose monetary policies may lead to declining market interest rates, impacting the yields of fixed-income wealth management products. Changes in financial regulatory policies are also significant; adjustments by regulatory agencies regarding banks' business scopes and risk management requirements may compel banks to modify the design and investment strategies of wealth management products, potentially affecting their return and risk characteristics, leading to discrepancies between actual investment returns and expectations [6]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Platinum: Volatile; Palladium: Volatile [6] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The release of the solicitation draft for platinum and palladium futures contracts by the Guangzhou Futures Exchange indicates the approaching listing of these futures, which fills the gap in risk management tools for new energy metals in China [10]. - The platinum and palladium futures contracts have unique features such as relatively high contract values and entry thresholds, special contract month arrangements, and trading time settings that may affect price continuity and arbitrage efficiency. The innovative design of the delivery system also has implications for the participation of industrial enterprises [4][41]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Event Overview - On July 31, 2025, the Guangzhou Futures Exchange released the solicitation drafts for platinum and palladium futures contracts and related option and business rule documents, aiming to promote green - low - carbon development [10]. 3.2 Platinum and Palladium Industry Chain Overview - Platinum and palladium belong to the platinum - group metals, with stable physical and chemical properties. Their industry chain consists of upstream mining, mid - stream processing, and downstream applications. The global resource endowment is extremely uneven, with South Africa and Russia being major resource - rich regions. China's proven reserves are less than 1% of the global total. The mid - stream processing includes primary and recycling methods, and the downstream demand is mainly concentrated in the automotive exhaust catalyst field (37% for platinum and 82% for palladium), followed by jewelry, industrial, and investment demands [11]. 3.3 Key Parameter Interpretation of Platinum and Palladium Futures Contracts - **Contract Basics**: The trading codes for platinum and palladium futures are PT and PD respectively, with a trading unit of 1000 grams per lot, a minimum price change of 0.05 yuan per gram, a daily price limit of ±4% (±6% in the delivery month), and a minimum trading margin of 5%. The contract months follow an even - month continuous double - month pattern (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12), and the trading time is from 9:00 - 11:30 am and 13:30 - 15:00 pm, with no night trading for now [1][15][16]. - **Margin**: Based on the current price, the minimum margin for one lot of platinum/palladium futures is about 1.5 - 1.6 million yuan. The expected combined margin rate of the exchange and futures companies is about 15%, resulting in a trading margin of about 4.75 million yuan for one lot of platinum futures and 4.5 million yuan for one lot of palladium futures. The trading margin adopts a three - stage ladder - type management system [22]. - **Position Limit System**: Platinum and palladium futures use a three - stage dynamic position limit system. In normal months, different position limits are set according to the unilateral position of the contract. As the delivery month approaches, the position limits are gradually reduced, and individual customers are not allowed to hold positions in the delivery month [24]. - **Delivery Matters**: The futures adopt physical delivery with a delivery unit of 1000g (net weight). The benchmark delivery items are platinum/palladium ingots, sponge platinum/palladium, and platinum/palladium powder with a main component content of not less than 99.95%. There is a single - quality standard with no alternative delivery items and no clear regional premium or discount. The delivery system combines warehouse and factory warehouse delivery, and only domestic platinum and palladium ingots can be registered as warehouse standard warehouse receipts, while powder - form metals and imported products can only be registered as factory warehouse receipts. The warehouse receipts are valid for 12 months and are uniformly cancelled after the last trading day of August each year [26][28][30]. - **Delivery Area Speculation**: Considering factors such as industry agglomeration, logistics convenience, and import dependence, potential delivery areas include industrial - intensive regions like Yunnan, Xinjiang, Gansu, and Sichuan, as well as Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangdong [3][31]. 3.4 Platinum and Palladium Option Contracts - The Guangzhou Futures Exchange also launched platinum and palladium option contracts. The options use the American exercise method, with a trading unit of one lot of platinum/palladium futures contracts, a minimum price change of 0.05 yuan per gram, and a price limit consistent with the underlying futures contracts. The contract months are the same as those of the underlying futures contracts, and the exercise price range is set to cover the price range within 1.5 times the daily price limit of the previous trading day's settlement price of the underlying futures contract. A segmented exercise price interval design is adopted [38]. 3.5 Characteristics Interpretation of Platinum and Palladium Futures Contracts - **Contract Value and Threshold**: The high contract value of platinum and palladium futures creates an entry barrier for investors. Insufficient liquidity at the initial listing stage may affect price continuity [4][41]. - **Contract Months and Liquidity Distribution**: The lack of continuous - month contracts may lead to a relatively steep B/C structure in the forward curve, and enterprises may face higher basis risks [4][41]. - **Trading Time and Linkage with Overseas Markets**: The absence of night trading in domestic platinum and palladium futures, compared with the 23 - hour continuous trading of Nymex platinum and palladium futures, may affect price continuity, arbitrage efficiency, and create time - difference arbitrage opportunities [4][41]. - **Innovation and Limitations of Delivery Rules**: The inclusion of sponge - form metals in the delivery system is innovative, but the restriction on registering warehouse standard warehouse receipts only for domestic ingots reflects the policy orientation of supporting domestic smelting industries and ensuring supply - chain security [42].

Core Viewpoint - Sands China Limited reported a strong financial performance for 2024, with total revenue reaching $7.08 billion, an increase of 8.4% from $6.534 billion in 2023, and net profit attributable to shareholders rising significantly from $692 million to $1.045 billion. However, the company faces liquidity challenges, as its current ratio dropped from 1.23 in 2023 to 0.76 in 2024, indicating potential risks in cash flow management [1]. Debt Structure and Financial Pressure - The debt structure of Sands China deteriorated significantly in 2024, with short-term debt skyrocketing from $16 million in 2023 to $1.639 billion, a more than 100-fold increase, primarily due to the reclassification of notes maturing in 2025. Long-term debt decreased from $8.312 billion to $6.520 billion, but total liabilities still reached $10.138 billion, maintaining a high debt-to-asset ratio of 90.77% [3]. - Current liabilities surged from $1.372 billion in 2023 to $2.993 billion, while current assets only amounted to $2.285 billion, resulting in a net current liability of $708 million. Despite cash and cash equivalents increasing from $1.361 billion to $1.970 billion, this remains insufficient against the large short-term debt [3]. - The accounts receivable conversion cycle extended from 8 days to 10 days, while the accounts payable conversion cycle remained unchanged at 2 days, exacerbating cash flow management issues. Operating cash flow per share decreased from $0.28 in 2023 to $0.26 in 2024, indicating a decline in cash generation capability from operations [3]. Capital Expenditure Impact - Sands China committed to investing approximately $4.5 billion during the gaming license period from 2023 to 2032, significantly impacting cash flow. The investment cash flow per share for 2024 was negative $0.10, worsening from negative $0.02 in 2023, reflecting increased spending on infrastructure and equipment upgrades [4]. - The completion of the Londoner Macao project is expected in the second quarter of 2025, indicating continued substantial capital expenditures in the coming quarters. Additionally, renovations at the Galaxy Macau and phased updates at the Sheraton Hotel in Macau are expected to affect revenue generation in the short term [4]. - The company has invested approximately $17 billion in the development of integrated resorts in Macau, including over 10,000 hotel rooms and significant retail and convention space. While these investments may enhance long-term competitiveness, they currently serve as a major drag on cash flow [4]. Market Recovery and Profitability Concerns - Although the number of visitors to Macau increased to approximately 35 million in 2024 from 28 million in 2023, the quality of earnings for the company remains concerning. The gross profit margin declined from 61.88% in 2023 to 60.69%, indicating that intense market competition is compressing profit margins [6]. - Administrative expenses slightly increased from $1.970 billion to $1.977 billion, suggesting a need for improved cost control despite revenue growth. Adjusted property EBITDA rose from $2.23 billion to $2.33 billion, but the growth rate of 4.7% lagged behind the revenue growth of 8.4%, reflecting a decline in operational efficiency [6]. - The return on equity reached an unusually high 201.93%, primarily due to a low net asset base of $1.031 billion compared to total assets of $11.169 billion. The total asset return improved from 6.65% to 9.75%, but this improvement is more indicative of leverage effects rather than genuine operational enhancement [6]. - The net cash flow per share improved from negative $0.04 in 2023 to $0.07 in 2024, yet it remains at a relatively low level, indicating limited cash generation capacity [6].
