Quantitative Models and Construction 1. Model Name: GRU Model - **Model Construction Idea**: The GRU model is used to predict stock returns based on historical data and incorporates various factors to optimize portfolio performance [3][4][5] - **Model Construction Process**: - The GRU model is trained on historical data to capture temporal dependencies in stock returns - It uses multiple input features, including technical and fundamental factors, to predict future returns - The model is applied to different stock pools (e.g., CSI 300, CSI 500, CSI 1000) to evaluate its performance [5][6][7] - **Model Evaluation**: The GRU model demonstrates strong performance in most stock pools, with positive long-short returns across various factors. However, certain sub-models (e.g., `barra5d`) show occasional underperformance [5][6][7] 2. Model Name: Open1d and Close1d Models - **Model Construction Idea**: These models focus on short-term price movements and are designed to capture daily return patterns [8][31] - **Model Construction Process**: - Open1d and Close1d models are trained on daily open and close price data, respectively - They are evaluated based on their ability to generate excess returns relative to the CSI 1000 index [8][31] - **Model Evaluation**: These models show mixed performance, with occasional drawdowns relative to the benchmark index [8][31] 3. Model Name: Barra1d and Barra5d Models - **Model Construction Idea**: These models are based on the Barra factor framework and aim to capture short-term and medium-term return patterns [8][31] - **Model Construction Process**: - Barra1d focuses on daily factor returns, while Barra5d aggregates returns over a 5-day horizon - Both models are tested for their ability to generate excess returns relative to the CSI 1000 index [8][31] - **Model Evaluation**: Barra5d demonstrates strong year-to-date performance, significantly outperforming the benchmark, while Barra1d shows consistent but less pronounced gains [8][31] --- Model Backtest Results 1.

有分析师测算，截至8月22日，央行中期流动性净投放总额已达6000亿元，是上月的两倍，也是2025年2月以来最大规模的中期流动性净投放。该分析师认 为，尽管上半年宏观经济运行稳中向好，但央行仍在延续支持性货币政策立场，通过持续实施中期流动性净投放释放政策信号。 对于后续市场走势，业内普遍认为央行将继续保持流动性合理充裕。央行后续可能继续通过加量续做MLF并结合买断式逆回购操作，向市场注入中期流动 性，市场利率上行空间有限。 根据8月22日公告，央行将于8月25日开展6000亿元MLF操作，实现净投放3000亿元，这是央行连续第六个月加量续做MLF。8月以来，央行通过多次逆回购 操作实现净投放，并开展MLF操作，持续向市场注入流动性。在中长期流动性方面，8月买断式逆回购和MLF净投放量均达到3000亿元，超过7月水平。操 作时点安排也更为灵活，8月买断式逆回购两个期限品种分别于月初和月中投放，MLF投放日也提前至到期日前，与7月集中于月中投放的模式形成对比。 Wind数据显示，本周逆回购到期分布较为均匀，8月25日至29日分别有2665亿元、5803亿元、6160亿元、2530亿元和3612亿元到期。 【环球网 ...
