智通财经记者 | 邹文榕 智通财经编辑 | 王姝 "12个月。" 作为上海一家头部券商资管投资经理，张林（化名）判断，按现有操作模式，券商资管靠在下沉市场买城投债赚管理费的好时光最多仅剩一年。 随着城投债信用利差的极致压缩，属于券商资管固收投资经理的风光时刻正在快速消减。 对比之下，城投债有政府背书，没有违约风险，张林认为，这是券商资管固收投资全面转向城投债的首要原因。 "快没有业务可以做了。"一位此前负责固收产品的投资经理刘茜（化名）向智通财经记者感慨。 "大型券商尚且能维持住原来的固收规模，但收益率相比前几年已明显下滑。"张林预计，明年开始，券商资管不仅会出现大面积的固收类产品业绩无法达 标，行业内的固收投资经理也将面临失业风险。 为了摆脱对城投债的依赖，张林所在的券商资管早在多年前就布局转型，张林本人也开始从城投债研究转向多资产多策略方向，资产范围涵盖境内外股票、 商品、债券等，策略也实现了多样化。 再见，城投债"躺赢"策略 券商资管脱胎于银行委外理财。 相比于公募基金固收投资以高等级利率债交易久期、银行理财更严格的信用债风控合规要求，智通财经从多位券商资管从业人员处了解到，近年来，在固收 业务上，买入 ...

Core Viewpoint - The A-share equity market has shown strong performance, with the Shanghai Composite Index approaching last October's high, but faced adjustments after reaching the 3600-point level. The U.S. equity market also encountered resistance at high levels, leading to a slowdown in growth due to lower-than-expected non-farm employment data [3][4]. A-share Market Analysis - The Shanghai Composite Index has maintained an upward trend, breaking through key levels of 3400 and 3500, and recently reaching around 3600 before facing adjustments. The market sentiment has been positively influenced by multiple factors, including policy support and sector rotation, contributing to a short-term upward trend [4][5]. - The technology growth sector, which performed relatively weakly in May and June, has gained more market attention recently, indicating a shift in capital towards these lower-priced sectors [4]. Fund Strategy Performance - The Evergreen Low Volatility Strategy and Stock Enhancement Strategy recorded returns of -1.951% and -0.858% respectively this week, while overseas equity strategies also saw a decline of -1.307% [5][6]. - The Evergreen Low Volatility Fund has shown strong stability since its inception, effectively reducing portfolio volatility while maintaining decent returns. It has performed well during market fluctuations, demonstrating its defensive characteristics [10]. - The Stock Enhancement Fund has faced challenges in the current market environment, with its performance closely mirroring the benchmark. However, it is expected to gain traction as market conditions improve [11]. Overseas Market Insights - Recent developments in the overseas market, including reduced tariff risks and positive economic data, have led to a rebound in U.S. stocks. However, there are concerns about over-optimism and potential short-term pullbacks [5][6]. - The overseas equity allocation strategy has also faced declines, with a recorded return of -1.307%. Despite this, the long-term outlook remains positive due to the absence of significant recession risks in the U.S. economy and strong technological growth trends [6][7]. Fund Strategy Construction - The company has developed a quantitative method to construct a fund selection pool that meets the needs of investors with different risk preferences in various market environments. This includes low-volatility fund combinations for defensive strategies and cash management tools for optimizing short-term idle funds [20][24]. - The overseas equity allocation strategy focuses on selecting QDII funds based on long-term momentum and short-term reversal factors, aiming to provide investors with a diversified global investment approach [25].

Core Viewpoint - Event-driven research is a significant quantitative strategy that focuses on analyzing and utilizing specific events' impacts on asset prices, particularly stock prices, to identify investment opportunities and risks [2][10]. Group 1: Pricing Efficiency in A-Share Market - The A-share market shows high pricing efficiency for events like high growth performance and earnings pre-announcement, with an average excess return of about 1% on the announcement day. However, the continuation of excess returns post-announcement is weak unless earnings exceed market expectations by 20%, leading to an average cumulative excess return of 1.8% over the next 10 trading days for such cases [2][26]. Group 2: Stock Buybacks and Dividends - High dividend announcements lead to significant excess returns, averaging 2.1% over the following 20 days, with a win rate of 58.9%. In contrast, stock buyback events show varied responses based on the purpose of the buyback, with certain types yielding long-term excess returns of up to 6.5% over 60 trading days, especially for stocks with lower research coverage [3][4]. Group 3: Signals from Re-financing - Different forms of re-financing, such as private placements and convertible bonds, generally have a negative impact on stock prices post-announcement. However, private placements that do not include institutional investors can yield some excess returns, albeit with lower win rates [4][6]. Group 4: Impact of Equity Incentives - Announcements of equity incentives and employee stock ownership plans generally have a positive impact on stock prices, with significant excess returns observed over 20 and 60 trading days. The effectiveness of these events is influenced by the scope and intensity of the incentives [4][5]. Group 5: Changes in Sell-Side Views - Significant changes in sell-side views, particularly when accompanied by upward revisions in earnings forecasts and titles indicating "better than expected," are noteworthy. These events yield average cumulative excess returns of 3.8% over 5 days and 6.6% over 60 days [5][6]. Group 6: Institutional Research Behavior - Attention should be given to institutional research events occurring a year after previous coverage, as these often indicate potential undervalued opportunities. The average cumulative excess returns for such events can reach 6.1% over 120 days [6][7]. Group 7: Major Shareholder Actions - Major shareholder buyback announcements are particularly noteworthy when preceding stock performance has been poor. In cases where the prior 20-day excess return is negative, subsequent buyback announcements can lead to average excess returns of 6.5% over 120 days [6][7]. Group 8: Index Adjustments and Passive Fund Flows - Stocks included in indices experience significant positive impacts from passive fund flows, with average cumulative excess returns of 5-6% around the announcement date. Predicting index adjustments can help investors capture these excess returns [6][8]. Group 9: Opportunities in Large-Cap Stocks - For large-cap stocks (over 50 billion), key events to monitor include earnings announcements exceeding consensus expectations by 20%, which can yield average excess returns of 3.9% over 60 days [7][8]. Group 10: Negative Signals to Watch - Certain events, such as large-scale financing, lock-up expirations, and significant shareholder sell-offs, indicate heightened downside risks. These events often lead to negative excess returns over extended periods [8][9].
