Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the second half of 2025, with a series of policies taking effect, the economy is likely to remain stable and inflation is expected to rise continuously. The seesaw effect between core assets and dividend assets may switch, and the two are expected to enter a stage of resonant growth. The convertible bond market is expected to continue its upward trend, and the style may shift to core assets [3][4][6]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Economic Possibilities in the Second Half of 2025 - **Scenario 1: Economic stability and inflation recovery** - In this scenario, the heavy - weight stocks of various industries are expected to benefit from economic stability and inflation recovery, and core assets are likely to have an upward trend. If market liquidity is abundant, core assets and small - cap stocks may rise in resonance; if liquidity is limited, funds may rotate from small - cap stocks to core assets. For example, from 2016 - 2017, the economy was stable and inflation recovered, but market liquidity was limited, resulting in the rise of core assets and the decline of small - cap stocks [7]. - **Scenario 2: Economic slowdown and no inflation recovery** - Similar to the period from 2022 to September 2024, small - cap stocks may lead the rise initially, but they will experience a supplementary decline later because their rise cannot deviate from the economic fundamentals for a long time. For example, in April 2022, February 2024, and August - September 2024, small - cap stocks showed such trends [8]. - **Scenario 3: Economic slowdown, inflation decline, but market expectation repair** - Similar to the second half of 2014, core assets are expected to follow up and rise, like from November to December 2014 [2]. Seesaw Effect between Core Assets and Dividend Assets - From 2019 to April 2025, there was an obvious seesaw effect between core assets and dividend assets. From 2019 to January 2021, core assets rose while dividend assets fluctuated; from February 2021 to April 2025, dividend assets continued to rise while core assets declined significantly. However, in the second half of 2025, the seesaw effect may switch, and the two may rise in resonance [3][4]. - The rise of dividend assets from 2022 to April 2025 was mainly due to the certainty of high dividend yields. But as the valuation repair is gradually completed, the driving logic of dividend assets may shift to the profit factor. For example, the coal industry stopped rising after 2024, and the bank's yield has been low since July 2025, indicating a shift in the market's focus to the profit logic [4]. Convertible Bond Views - Considering that the economy is expected to remain stable in the second half of 2025 and inflation is expected to rise under the anti - involution policy, convertible bonds are expected to continue their upward trend. In terms of style, the economic stability in the second half of 2025 is conducive to the rise of core assets. Also, as the logic of dividend assets may change, dividend assets, as leading companies in some fields, are expected to become generalized core assets, and the two types of assets may rise in resonance [6]. Small - Cap Stock Market - The small - cap stock market is mainly driven by industrial trends. For example, in the new energy industry from 2021 - 2022, despite a short - term adjustment in the first quarter of 2022, it rose significantly again later due to the good development of the industrial trend. However, the industry began to decline continuously after the supply - demand pattern changed in the fourth quarter of 2022 [5].

The pressure for "passive bond allocation" exists due to the steady growth of premium income [2][14] - The introduction of medium- and long-term funds into the market provides motivation and space for increasing equity investment ratios among insurance companies. The current low long-term bond yield environment pressures net investment returns, prompting insurance companies to increase equity allocations [3][18][21] Summary by Sections Fund Utilization - As of Q2 2025, the total fund utilization balance of insurance companies reached 36.23 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 17.39%.

The stock investment proportions for life and property insurance companies reached 8.81% and 8.33%, respectively, both at recent highs [21][22] Market Dynamics - The low interest rate environment has made it challenging to achieve returns through traditional bond strategies, leading insurance companies to consider high-dividend assets as a potential area for increased investment [3][21] - Policies have been relaxed to allow for a higher proportion of equity investments by insurance funds, with expectations for significant increases in equity allocations in the coming years [18][21]
