Core Viewpoint - The Chinese ETF market is undergoing a significant transformation from 2024 to April 2025, with the total scale of non-monetary ETFs increasing from 1.85 trillion yuan at the end of 2023 to 3.89 trillion yuan, marking a 110% growth [1]. ETF Market Scale Changes - The ETF market is experiencing a shift in dominance from individual investors to institutional investors, with institutional holdings in stock ETFs reaching 62.14% and in bond ETFs reaching 84.90% [4]. - State-owned institutions and insurance companies are the main contributors to this growth, with state-owned holdings increasing by 922.4 billion yuan to 1.05 trillion yuan in the second half of 2024, and insurance funds increasing by 113.2 billion yuan to 260.7 billion yuan [4]. Institutional Preferences - Institutions are actively investing in core broad-based ETFs, with a total increase of 866.8 billion yuan in 300 ETFs and 500 ETFs, accounting for 59.3% of total inflows into stock ETFs [5]. - There is a strong preference for high-dividend assets among institutions, driven by the challenges of low interest rates, with the total market size of dividend-themed index funds reaching 173.55 billion yuan, an increase of 20.09 billion yuan from the end of 2024 [6]. Insurance Capital Activity - Insurance capital has been particularly active in acquiring dividend assets, with 16 instances of stake increases in listed companies, focusing on sectors like banking, utilities, energy, and logistics [9]. - Ping An Life has been notably active, making six acquisitions in Hong Kong-listed bank stocks, becoming a key player in this market [9]. Dividend ETF Characteristics - The main dividend index sectors are characterized by essential or monopolistic attributes, such as energy, resources, telecommunications, and utilities, benefiting from national policy incentives [10]. - Despite the growth in dividend ETFs, there are concerns regarding the sustainability of returns, as over 50% of the 56.32% return from the dividend low-volatility index in 2023-2024 came from the banking and coal sectors [11]. Market Outlook - The resilience of dividend assets has been highlighted, with both A-shares and Hong Kong stocks showing a favorable trend in dividend style since March [11]. - Future expectations suggest that while growth styles may dominate, dividend styles will exhibit a higher probability of success due to their high dividend yields and low volatility [11].

Market Performance - A-shares experienced a significant increase, with the Shanghai Composite Index rising by 1.15%, and the CSI 300 up by 1.20%.

This led to a drop in oil prices by over 10% from their recent highs [2] - The Chinese government's announcement of a grand military parade for the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Anti-Japanese War boosted investor confidence, showcasing advancements in military technology [2] - Various sectors, particularly technology and finance, saw a resurgence as previous geopolitical tensions subsided, with companies like Tesla launching autonomous taxi services and advancements in solid-state battery production [2] Investor Sentiment and Future Outlook - Improved risk appetite in the A-share market is noted, with optimism stemming from breakthroughs in AI, military, and innovative pharmaceuticals, which have positively influenced both domestic and foreign investor perceptions [3] - The ongoing decline of the US dollar is expected to benefit Chinese assets, with A-shares and Hong Kong stocks likely to gain from increased liquidity [3] - Despite the positive outlook, uncertainties remain regarding tariff negotiations and signs of weakening in some economic indicators, which could impact future market performance [3] Investment Strategy - The focus should be on stable dividend-paying assets in a low-interest-rate environment, particularly in sectors that benefit from increased liquidity [3] - Attention should also be directed towards technology sectors and domestic demand-driven industries that are likely to experience significant policy and industry catalysts [3]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the impact of the low interest rate environment on traditional investment strategies and emphasizes the need for new approaches to achieve financial freedom in this changing landscape [3][24]. Group 1: Interest Rate Changes - Five years ago, a bank's large time deposit offered a 4% interest rate, providing an annual income of 40,000 yuan from a principal of 1 million yuan, which has now decreased to just over 10,000 yuan [2][3]. - The shift to a "1 era" in fixed deposit rates highlights the erosion of purchasing power, with a historical example showing that 10,000 yuan in 1990 would only allow for 1.3 square meters of housing today, down from 8 square meters [4]. Group 2: Cash Management Products - Cash management products, such as money market funds and interbank certificate index funds, are recommended for maintaining liquidity and providing slightly higher returns than regular savings [5][6]. - The annualized return for the money market fund index is approaching 1%, while the interbank certificate index fund has a return of 1-2% with minimal drawdown [5][6]. Group 3: Fixed Income Assets - Pure bond funds and "fixed income+" strategies are suggested for medium-term investments, as they have historically provided steady returns even during market downturns [7][11]. - The yield on ten-year government bonds is currently around 1.6-1.7%, while specialized bond funds can achieve returns of 2-3% [11]. Group 4: Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) - The emergence of REITs offers a new solution for real estate investment, providing liquidity and cash flow through rental income and asset appreciation [13][17]. - The average dividend yield for REITs is around 4-5%, making them an attractive alternative to traditional property investments [14][17]. Group 5: Equity Assets - Dividend-paying stocks, particularly in the A-share market, are highlighted as viable options in a low interest rate environment, with dividend yields exceeding 5% [18][22]. - Historical data shows that dividend assets not only provide stable cash flow but also exhibit defensive characteristics during market fluctuations [19][20]. Group 6: Investment Principles - Investors are advised to adjust their expectations regarding returns and embrace market volatility as a necessary condition for achieving excess returns in the current financial landscape [23][24]. - The focus should shift from seeking "perfect assets" to building a diversified portfolio that can adapt to changing market conditions [24].

Core Viewpoint - The Hong Kong Dividend Low Volatility ETF (520550) has shown remarkable performance in the current market, characterized by a combination of low volatility and high dividends, making it an attractive investment option during uncertain market conditions [1][5]. Performance Summary - The ETF has reached 34 new highs this year, with continuous net inflows and increasing scale, indicating strong investor interest [1]. - From the beginning of the year to June 20, 2025, the ETF has outperformed both the dividend index and the CSI 300, achieving a growth rate of 15.47% [5]. Dividend Mechanism - The ETF features a monthly dividend assessment mechanism, allowing for up to 12 dividend distributions per year, which is appealing for income-focused investors [3]. - The second cash dividend distribution occurred on June 20, 2025, with the next opportunity for new investors to receive dividends not available until July [4]. Key Factors for Performance 1. **High Dividend Yield and Low Valuation**: The current dividend yield of the Hang Seng High Dividend Low Volatility Index is 7.82%, with some constituent stocks yielding over 8%, significantly higher than the A-share dividend index and the 10-year government bond yield. The index's price-to-earnings ratio is 7.07, and the price-to-book ratio is 0.61, indicating many stocks are trading below their book value, providing a strong margin of safety [7]. 2. **Policy and Capital Support**: The government has mandated that insurance funds increase their equity market investment ratio starting in 2025, favoring undervalued, high-dividend assets. This has led to a significant increase in net purchases of Hong Kong stocks, surpassing 80% of the total for 2024, providing solid support for dividend stocks [8]. 3. **Product Advantages**: The ETF has the lowest fee rate in the market, with a total expense ratio of only 0.2%. It offers monthly dividends for stable cash flow and supports T+0 trading, allowing for flexible adjustments based on market fluctuations. The index's mechanism limits individual stock weight to 5%, enhancing diversification and avoiding "high dividend traps" [9]. Market Behavior - In times of market uncertainty, funds tend to flow back into high dividend sectors. While some Hong Kong tech stocks have yet to recover to pre-tariff highs, the Hong Kong Dividend Low Volatility ETF has already set new highs, illustrating the adage: "In a bull market, one profits from stock prices; in a bear market, from dividends; and in a volatile market, from dividends" [10].
