Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the cyclical nature of investment styles, particularly the rotation between growth and value styles, and how these cycles can create investment opportunities in different market conditions [2][4]. Group 1: Style Rotation - Style rotation occurs approximately every 3-5 years, with specific periods identified for growth and value styles: - 2016-2018 was a strong period for value style - 2019-2021 favored growth style - 2022-2024 is projected to favor value style - 2025 is expected to favor growth style [2] - Structural bull markets are common in A-shares, with only 2007 being a broad-based bull market where both large and small caps, as well as growth and value styles, saw significant gains [2]. Group 2: Characteristics of Growth and Value Styles - Growth style bull markets are characterized by high volatility, with significant price fluctuations. For instance, certain indices have doubled since May 2024, and the ChiNext index rose over 150% from May 2018 to March 2021 [4]. - Conversely, value style bull markets tend to exhibit more stable growth, resembling a slow bull market typical in European and American markets. This style requires patience and a long-term holding strategy to realize returns [5]. Group 3: Investment Strategy - When opportunities arise for both growth and value styles, the company considers a balanced investment approach, such as combining indices like CSI A500+ and CSI Dividend [6]. - Growth style investments are likened to offensive strategies (sword), while value style investments are seen as defensive (shield). The allocation between these styles is adjusted based on their valuation levels, with higher allocations to undervalued styles [6].

Group 1 - The core issue of "missing out" in a rising market is more painful for investors than experiencing losses in a declining market, highlighting the psychological impact of "loss aversion" [1][2] - Professional investors often face the dilemma of whether to buy into a rising market or risk missing further gains, leading to a sense of frustration when they miss opportunities [1][2] - The lack of confidence in market strength and insufficient research preparation are primary reasons why professional investors may miss out on gains [2][3] Group 2 - The cyclical nature of the stock market, characterized by alternating strong and weak phases, contributes to investor hesitation in participating during early stages of a market upturn [2][3] - Successful investors often focus on individual stocks through in-depth fundamental analysis, allowing them to remain unaffected by broader market fluctuations [3][4] - A well-prepared research team with a strong understanding of specific sectors or companies can mitigate the risk of missing out on market opportunities [4][5] Group 3 - Investors need to broaden their understanding of market adjustments, recognizing that adjustments can take various forms beyond just significant declines in broad indices [5][6] - The current market is described as healthy, with potential for adjustments, but no signs of a market turning point are evident, suggesting a strategy of maintaining high positions [6][7] - In a strong market, it is advised to actively seek opportunities in undervalued sectors rather than waiting for adjustments, as this can lead to missed opportunities [6][7]

Group 1 - The core issue of investors experiencing "踏空" (missing out on market gains) is more painful than losing money in a downturn, as it stems from "loss aversion" psychology [1][2] - Professional investors often face the challenge of missing out on gains due to a lack of confidence in market strength and insufficient research preparation [2][3] Group 2 - The first reason for missing out is a lack of confidence in market strength, leading investors to perceive initial market uptrends as mere rebounds rather than the start of a strong rally [3][4] - The second reason is the failure to conduct thorough research on individual stocks or sectors, resulting in a lack of a solid "base" for investment decisions [4][5] Group 3 - Investors need to have a comprehensive understanding of market adjustments, recognizing that adjustments can take various forms beyond just significant declines in broad indices [6][7] - The current market is healthy, with no signs of a turning point, suggesting that maintaining a high position and optimizing the portfolio is advisable [8] Group 4 - In a strong market, it is essential to actively invest in promising sectors rather than waiting for adjustments, as doing nothing can lead to missed opportunities [9][10] - Companies in undervalued sectors may present attractive investment opportunities, even if they are not the current market leaders [10]

Quantitative Models and Construction Valuation Spread-Based Style Factor Model - **Model Name**: Valuation Spread-Based Style Factor Model - **Model Construction Idea**: This model uses the valuation spread between long and short groups of a factor (e.g., BP) to construct a style factor's odds indicator. It emphasizes a "left-side" signal characteristic, meaning "buy when it drops significantly, sell when it rises significantly" [7][11] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Select a factor and sort stocks by factor values into five groups (industry-neutral, grouping within each industry and then merging) to determine the long and short groups [11] 2. Calculate the median log(BP) for the long and short groups, where log transformation ensures BP follows a normal distribution [11] 3. Compute the raw valuation spread as the difference between the median log(BP) of the long group and the short group [11] 4. Standardize the raw valuation spread using a rolling six-year z-score [11] - **Model Evaluation**: The valuation spread demonstrates a certain degree of differentiation in predicting the future one-year returns of style factors. It is more suitable for identifying left-side signals [7] --- Quantitative Factors and Construction Dividend Yield Factor - **Factor Name**: Dividend Yield Factor - **Factor Construction Idea**: Represents the valuation spread of the dividend yield factor, indicating the relative attractiveness of value-oriented stocks [14] - **Factor Construction Process**: Constructed using the valuation spread methodology described above, with the dividend yield as the underlying factor [14] PB Factor - **Factor Name**: PB Factor - **Factor Construction Idea**: Represents the valuation spread of the price-to-book ratio (PB), reflecting the relative valuation of value-oriented stocks [14] - **Factor Construction Process**: Constructed using the valuation spread methodology described above, with PB as the underlying factor [14] PE Factor - **Factor Name**: PE Factor - **Factor Construction Idea**: Represents the valuation spread of the price-to-earnings ratio (PE), indicating the relative valuation of value-oriented stocks [14] - **Factor Construction Process**: Constructed using the valuation spread methodology described above, with PE as the underlying factor [14] Quality Factor - **Factor Name**: Quality Factor - **Factor Construction Idea**: Represents the valuation spread of the ROE factor, typically associated with "core assets" like high-quality companies [20] - **Factor Construction Process**: Constructed using the valuation spread methodology described above, with ROE as the underlying factor [20] Low Volatility Factor - **Factor Name**: Low Volatility Factor - **Factor Construction Idea**: Represents the valuation spread of low-volatility stocks, often linked to "stable assets" [20] - **Factor Construction Process**: Constructed using the valuation spread methodology described above, with volatility as the underlying factor [20] Momentum Factor - **Factor Name**: Momentum Factor - **Factor Construction Idea**: Represents the valuation spread of momentum stocks, often associated with stocks heavily held by public funds [20] - **Factor Construction Process**: Constructed using the valuation spread methodology described above, with momentum as the underlying factor [20] --- Backtesting Results of Factors Valuation Spread-Based Style Factor Model - **Odds Indicator**: Demonstrates differentiation in predicting future one-year returns of style factors, with higher odds indicating better opportunities [7][8] Dividend Yield Factor - **Odds**: 0.47 standard deviations, categorized as medium odds [14] PB Factor - **Odds**: 0.63 standard deviations, categorized as medium-high odds [14] PE Factor - **Odds**: 0.82 standard deviations, categorized as medium-high odds [14] Quality Factor - **Odds**: 1.17 standard deviations, categorized as high odds [20] Low Volatility Factor - **Odds**: 1.75 standard deviations, categorized as very high odds [20] Momentum Factor - **Odds**: -1.36 standard deviations, categorized as low odds [20]
