Core Viewpoint - The recent performance decline of several well-known bond private equity funds is attributed to the volatility of Vanke bonds and the overall weakness in the bond market, prompting fund managers to enhance their management capabilities to remain competitive [1][5].

On December 10, Vanke bonds saw a brief rebound, but by December 11, they fell again, with "21 Vanke 06" dropping over 18% and several others also experiencing declines exceeding 10% [5]. - The recent performance fluctuations of some bond private equity products are linked to the Vanke bond situation and the new public fund fee regulations, compounded by continuous net redemptions from public funds, exacerbating the performance decline of certain bond private equity funds [5].

Group 4: Industry Response to Market Changes - Fund managers are advised to reassess their holdings, avoid excessive concentration, and enhance liquidity considerations while conducting stress tests. In a low-interest-rate environment, the yield expectations for pure bond products should be adjusted to avoid blindly pursuing credit downgrades [10]. - The industry is shifting from traditional pure bond strategies to multi-strategy products to diversify risks and enhance returns, incorporating liquid bond ETFs and trading strategies to create lower-volatility strategy combinations [10][11]. - The future competitiveness of fixed income institutions will largely depend on their ability to provide attractive, compounding "fixed income bases" in a low-interest environment and to effectively layer multiple assets and strategies on top of this base [11].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - During the period from July 21st to July 27th, most of the issuance guidance rates announced by the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors (NAFMII) declined, with an overall change range of -5 BP to 2 BP. The issuance scale of credit bonds increased month - on - month, and the issuance amount of each variety increased. The net financing of credit bonds increased month - on - month. The yield of credit bonds all increased, and the credit spreads of medium - and short - term notes, enterprise bonds, and urban investment bonds mostly widened, but the 7 - year varieties still mainly narrowed. [1][58] - From an absolute return perspective, after adjustment, the yields of most varieties have retraced to the level of 2 months ago, but the conditions for a trend reversal of credit bonds are still insufficient. Supply shortage and relatively strong allocation demand will still support credit bonds, and the marginal loosening of the capital side will also help promote the repair market. The possibility of a decline in yields in the future is still high, and the idea of increasing allocation on adjustments is still feasible. [1][58] - From a relative return perspective, given that rating spreads are generally at historical lows, credit sinking is not effective at present. In the short term, high - grade varieties have greater potential for a catch - up rise. In the real estate bond market, as the market stabilizes, risk - preference funds can consider early layout. Urban investment bonds can still be a key allocation variety for credit bonds. [1][60][58] Summary by Directory 1. Primary Market Situation 1.1 Issuance and Maturity Scale - From July 21st to July 27th, a total of 371 credit bonds were issued, with an issuance amount of 352.639 billion yuan, a month - on - month increase of 25.49%.

[12] - By variety, the issuance amount of enterprise bonds, corporate bonds, medium - term notes, short - term financing bills, and private placement notes all increased month - on - month.

[12] 1.2 Issuance Interest Rates - Most of the issuance guidance rates announced by NAFMII declined, with an overall change range of -5 BP to 2 BP. By term, the 1 - year variety had an interest rate change range of -5 BP to 0 BP, the 3 - year variety -3 BP to 1 BP, the 5 - year variety -3 BP to 2 BP, and the 7 - year variety -1 BP to 1 BP. By grade, the interest rate change range of key AAA - grade and AAA - grade varieties was -5 BP to 0 BP, AA + - grade -1 BP to 2 BP, AA - grade 0 BP to 2 BP, and AA - - grade -3 BP to -1 BP. [14] 2. Secondary Market Situation 2.1 Market Trading Volume - From July 21st to July 27th, the total trading volume of credit bonds was 897.286 billion yuan, a month - on - month increase of 3.78%.

In terms of rating spreads, the 3 - year medium - and short - term notes' (AA - )-(AAA) spread narrowed by 3.00 BP, (AA)-(AAA) spread widened by 1.00 BP, and (AA + )-(AAA) spread widened by 1.00 BP. [43] - Similar analyses were also conducted for enterprise bonds and urban investment bonds in terms of term spreads and rating spreads, with different changes in spreads and their positions in historical quantiles. [48][52] 3. Credit Rating Adjustment and Default Bond Statistics 3.1 Credit Rating Adjustment Statistics - From July 21st to July 27th, a total of 3 companies' ratings (including outlooks) were adjusted, with 1 downgraded and 2 upgraded.

[60] - Urban investment bonds can still be a key allocation variety for credit bonds, with low short - term credit risk, and the current strategy can be positive. [60]
