Group 1: Report's Core View - The capital flow of wealth management products is an important influencing factor in the credit bond market. This report analyzes the changes in wealth management scale and bond - allocation behavior under the background of net - value transformation to enrich the credit bond analysis framework [1][9] Group 2: Wealth Management Scale Trends 2.1 Overall Scale and New Product Term - Deposit interest rate decline drives deposit transfer to wealth management, leading to an increase in wealth management scale. As of Q1 2025, the wealth management product scale reached 29.14 trillion yuan. The average 1 - year fixed - deposit rate of the six major banks was only 0.96% in June 2025, while the wealth management yield was 3.01%. Newly issued products are mainly closed - end, and the term of new products has been extended, with the proportion of new wealth management products with a term over 1 year reaching 47% in June 2025, up about 14 percentage points from March 2024 [10][12] 2.2 Main Expansion Force - Open - ended products are more popular among individual investors. In 2024, the scale of open - ended products increased by 2.7 trillion yuan year - on - year, while that of closed - ended products increased by only 160 billion yuan. The minimum - holding - period products are the main expansion force of wealth management products in 2024, balancing liquidity and yield. As of the end of June 2025, the average maximum drawdown of minimum - holding - period products in the past 1 year was 0.18%, the lowest among open - ended products, and the average annualized yield in the past 1 year reached 2.53%, about 70bp higher than daily - open products [16][17] Group 3: Impact of the "Impossible Triangle" on Bond - Allocation Style 3.1 Bond Allocation Changes - To stabilize the net value of wealth management products, wealth management has reduced bond allocation in recent years and increased the allocation of cash and bank deposits with higher liquidity and lower valuation fluctuations. As of Q1 2025, the scale of wealth management investment in bonds, cash and bank deposits, and inter - bank certificates of deposit was 13.68 trillion yuan, 7.27 trillion yuan, and 4.20 trillion yuan respectively, accounting for 43.9%, 23.3%, and 13.5% of the total investment assets, with changes of - 6.5%, 5.8%, and 0.2% respectively compared to Q4 2022 [23] 3.2 Credit Bond Allocation - Credit bonds are the main investment direction of wealth management funds, accounting for 41% of the total investment assets. As of the end of 2024, the proportions of interest - rate bonds and credit bonds in bond investment were 5% and 95% respectively. In Q1 2025, wealth management preferred to allocate urban investment bonds, secondary perpetual bonds, and industrial bonds, accounting for 35%, 26%, and 23% of credit bonds respectively. Due to the short - term nature of most wealth management products and the instability of the liability side, the duration of credit bond allocation is short [33][37] 3.3 Increased Fund Entrustment - It is difficult for wealth management to meet the performance benchmark by directly investing in bonds. In Q2 2025, the wealth management performance benchmark dropped to 2.88%, still 84 - 87bp higher than the yields of 3Y AA(2) urban investment bonds and 7Y AA+ secondary perpetual bonds. With the blockage of insurance and trust channels, wealth management has increased entrusted investment in funds. The proportion of wealth management's penetrated investment in funds has been rising, indicating an increasing importance of entrusted funds [39][47] 3.4 Bond - Buying Behavior after Self - Built Valuation Model Restrictions - The "self - built valuation model" is a new way for wealth management to smooth net - value fluctuations but has problems such as liquidity risk and unfair returns. After the restriction of the self - built valuation model, some wealth management may reduce the allocation of long - term secondary perpetual bonds and medium - low - rated credit bonds and increase the allocation of short - term high - rated bonds [52][53] Group 4: Impact of Wealth Management on the Credit Bond Market 4.1 Influence of Scale Changes - The bond - allocation rhythm of wealth management is highly correlated with the scale change, which affects the credit spread trend. When the wealth management scale rises, the credit spread tends to narrow; when it falls, the credit spread tends to widen. The seasonal change of wealth management scale also makes the credit spread show seasonal characteristics. Quarter - beginning is a good time for credit spread compression, especially from August to the end of the year. September is a good allocation window, but beware of widening credit spreads in November [3][57] 4.2 Observing Market Adjustment from Wealth Management - During bond market adjustments, pay attention to the risk of "redemption tides". The "redemption tide" occurs when wealth management passively sells bonds due to significant net - value drawdowns. The "redemption tide" is accompanied by an increase in the net - value break - even rate. When the weekly环比 change of the 4 - week rolling net - value break - even rate exceeds 6%, the possibility of a "redemption tide" increases. The maximum drawdown rate of wealth management products can be a leading indicator of credit spread changes, leading by about 7 - 60 days [3][64]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Group 2: Core Views of the Report - In the context of sustained low interest rates, credit bond ETFs have achieved rapid expansion due to their advantages such as low fees, good liquidity, and the ability to be used for margin financing. The continuous expansion of ETFs will support credit spreads at a low level, and component bonds may perform better. Newly launched science and technology bond ETFs still have investment value. As component bonds become more crowded in trading, individual bonds of the same issuer not included in the index may have potential relative valuation advantages [2][22]. - However, due to the high liquidity of credit bond ETFs, there may be greater valuation adjustment risks when the bond market adjusts or experiences redemptions. Currently, the trading of credit bond ETFs is relatively crowded, so investors are advised to control their positions in the short term and focus on post - adjustment layout opportunities [2][26]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Low Interest Rates and the Potential Expansion of Credit Bond ETFs - **Credit Bond ETF Advantages**: - The types of tracking indexes are diverse, and the coverage of maturities is gradually improving.

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The records primarily discuss the bond market, particularly focusing on long-term credit bonds and their market dynamics in 2025 [1][2][4][7]. Core Insights and Arguments 1. **Market Dynamics**: Since late May 2025, the long-term credit bond market has seen a significant uptick due to monetary easing measures such as interest rate cuts and increased liquidity from non-bank institutions. This has led to a rapid growth in credit bond ETFs [1][7]. 2. **Investment Trends**: There has been a notable increase in net purchases of medium-term bonds (5-7 years) by various institutional investors, including funds, insurance companies, and pension funds. The peak net purchase reached approximately 3.5 billion, compared to 0.5 billion in the previous year [8]. 3. **Credit Spread Compression**: Short-term bonds (up to 3 years) have experienced extreme compression in credit spreads, while long-term bonds (5 years and above) still have room for further compression, with potential spread reductions of 17-40 basis points compared to last year's lows [1][10]. 4. **Market Reactions**: The bond market's volatility in July 2025 was attributed to regulatory changes in rural financial institutions and uncertainties in real estate policies. However, the core issue was the over-concentration of trades and unmet expectations for monetary easing [2][3]. 5. **Long-term Credit Bond Strategy**: Investors are advised to look for opportunities in long-term credit bonds, particularly when yields approach around 1.7%.
