Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the increasing difficulty of asset allocation in a chaotic global environment, highlighting the challenges faced by high-net-worth individuals in securing their wealth and achieving satisfactory returns [2][3]. Domestic Asset Dilemma - Over the past decade, fixed-income assets, particularly non-standard assets, have been crucial for wealthy individuals in China. However, current comprehensive interest rates are at historical lows, and non-standard assets are gradually being phased out [4]. - Real estate, once a primary investment for affluent individuals, now shows an average rental return of 2.3% in the top 20 cities, making it less attractive due to liquidity issues and high transaction costs [4]. Increased Uncertainty Overseas - The trend of investing abroad has been beneficial for high-net-worth individuals in recent years, with investments in USD deposits, US stocks, and real estate in the US and Japan yielding good returns. However, potential returns are now significantly lower, and uncertainty has increased [5][6]. AI Investment Uncertainty - Current AI investments in the US resemble past infrastructure investments in China, appearing beneficial but ultimately unsustainable due to the mismatch between cash flow and debt burdens [7][8]. - Structural uncertainties in AI investments have risen, including questions about technology paths and which service providers will succeed [8]. Economic Outlook - The US economy is expected to slow significantly in the second half of next year, with AI investment being a major support for economic resilience over the past two years. However, signs of layoffs and declining housing prices in Silicon Valley indicate emerging challenges [10]. - The current high valuations and earnings in the US stock market suggest limited future returns, with a likelihood of long-term depreciation of the USD against the RMB [10]. Gold Investment Outlook - The best phase for gold investment appears to be over, with rising uncertainties and potential overvaluation based on historical pricing models [12][14]. - Recent sales of gold by central banks, particularly by Russia, signal a significant change in the market dynamics for gold [18].

Examples of Resilience - The article highlights examples of leading companies in struggling industries, such as construction materials and real estate, that have managed to maintain profitability and even grow amidst broader market challenges [26][33]. Future Market Outlook - The potential for a significant bull market is discussed, driven by the return of wealth from overseas and the reallocation of global capital towards Chinese assets as the domestic economy stabilizes [39][43]. - Historical patterns suggest that a low-interest environment combined with a lack of investment opportunities in other major markets could lead to a new bubble in Chinese assets [44][46].

Group 1: Strategy - The international monetary system exhibits a stable "center-periphery" structure, where dominant currencies have changed over time, but the underlying order remains consistent. This order is rooted in trust and the "high-order belief" in sovereign currencies, which are supported by national credit and legal tender, creating liquidity premiums and network effects, thus exhibiting natural monopoly characteristics [6]. - The formation of central currencies relies on economic, financial, and institutional advantages, maintained through positive feedback loops. However, when debt expansion exceeds fiscal and institutional constraints, emerging countries may seize the opportunity to rise as old centers decline. Currently, the foundation of the dollar system is weakening, and global economic diversification is accelerating. If the RMB can leverage institutional reforms and market openness, it may enhance asset depth and international trust, potentially leading to a more balanced multi-center global currency system [6]. Group 2: Macroeconomy - Since 2022, geopolitical factors, "de-dollarization," and the continuous growth of U.S. debt have driven gold prices higher. The demand for gold is primarily influenced by central bank purchases, which have become a significant source of demand in recent years. However, as gold prices rise, some central banks have begun to reduce their gold holdings temporarily, as the ratio of gold to reserve assets exceeds their targets. Overall, there may still be room for an increase in the global allocation of gold by central banks [10]. - The U.S. stock market has experienced a long-term bull market since the 1980s, driven by economic structural transformation and the information technology revolution, which provided substantial expansion opportunities for companies. Stable capital inflows have translated future economic potential into current stock market valuations, resulting in stock market growth rates significantly exceeding economic growth rates [12]. - Japan's economy underwent a structural transformation during the "lost two decades" post-1990, which created investment opportunities despite overall macroeconomic challenges. The structural rise in Japan's stock market reflects this transformation, driven by corporate globalization, high-tech leadership, and improved corporate governance. Excluding the "old economy" sectors heavily exposed to domestic real estate and deflation, the "new economy" sectors have shown strong trends since the 1990s [14].
