Group 1: Investment Rating of the Report - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report.

The convertible bond allocation of fixed - income + funds presented three characteristics: mid - cap expansion, credit downgrade, and increased equity nature [2][5]. - In terms of scale style, there was an active switch from large - cap to mid - cap. In Q2, the average mid - value bond holding of fixed - income + funds increased by 7.4 pct to 40.7%, and the median rose by 7.0 pct to 36.9%. The average large - value bond holding decreased by 7.6 pct to 49.5%, and the median dropped by 9.4 pct to 50.8%. The average small - value bond holding slightly increased by 0.2 pct to 9.8%, but the median remained around zero [2][5]. - The rating style concentrated on A - to AA + levels, and the funds' credit preference downgraded. In Q2, the convertible bond holding rating distribution of fixed - income + funds differed from Q1.
