Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the second half of 2025, CRMW products were issued intensively in conjunction with private enterprise science and technology innovation bonds, with obvious cost - reduction and credit - enhancement effects. Currently, there is little room for participation in the secondary market. It is recommended to focus on the pricing opportunities during the primary issuance of new products. The "underlying bond + CRMW" combination under the strong guarantee of large - scale national and joint - stock banks has valuation advantages, and institutions with stable liability ends such as proprietary trading can hold them until maturity [5]. - When classified by creation entities, special attention should be paid to CRMW created by joint - stock banks [5]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Credit Bond Weekly Viewpoint: Focus on the Pricing Opportunities of CRMW Primary Issuance - CRMW is an important credit - enhancement product. In 2025, over a hundred CRMW were created by various institutions, a slight reduction from 2024. Nearly 40% of the protected underlying bonds were science and technology innovation bonds, and the protected issuers were mostly technology - based private enterprises. Commercial banks are the mainstream creation institutions, while securities companies have rarely participated since 2024, and guarantee companies such as Zhongyu Guarantee and Zhongzhai Zengxin have been active [9]. - It is difficult to participate in the secondary market of CRMW. The focus should be on the primary issuance, especially the CRMW created by joint - stock banks. The average maturity of recently issued underlying bonds is about 2 years, and the maturity considering the exercise right is generally no more than 3 years, which meets the preferences of mainstream institutions [15]. - By creation entity types: - State - owned banks: Since 2024, the frequency of state - owned banks creating CRMW has declined. The credit spread of the "CRMW + underlying bond" investment portfolio created by state - owned banks is generally low, with most spreads around 40bp since Q4 2025, and there is no excess return compared to mainstream urban investment/industrial bonds [15][17]. - Joint - stock banks: Banks such as China Zheshang Bank have created a relatively large number of CRMW. The credit spread of the "CRMW + underlying bond" investment portfolio is around 70bp, and the absolute return can exceed 2.4%, which is very attractive in a low - return environment. The higher return mainly comes from the higher coupon rate of the protected underlying bonds, and there is sufficient safety margin under the strong guarantee of CRMW [25]. - City commercial banks: Banks such as Dongguan Bank and Qingdao Bank are the main creation institutions. The returns of their "CRMW + underlying bond" portfolios are more differentiated, and the recent returns are mainly in the range of 2.1% - 2.2%, with limited attractiveness [25]. - Rural commercial banks: Only Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank participates, and the overall return of the portfolio is not high due to the strong credit quality of the credit - enhancement subject [25]. - Guarantee companies: Zhongyu Guarantee and Zhongzhai Zengxin have created a small number of CRMW in the past two years. The returns are scattered, and the "underlying bond + CRMW" portfolio has a slightly higher return due to weak liquidity, which is suitable for institutions with stable liability ends and high - risk preferences to hold until maturity [23][26]. - Secondary market opportunities are mainly concentrated in the "underlying bond + CRMW" portfolio with a maturity of less than 1 year. The primary market is the main way to participate, while the secondary market has weak liquidity. The short - term portfolio with a maturity of less than 1 year and a return of over 2.1% created by state - owned banks and strong joint - stock banks has cost - effectiveness [28]. 2. Credit Bond Weekly Review: The Enthusiasm for Medium - Term Bond Mining Continues 2.1 Negative Information Monitoring - There were no bond defaults, overdue payments, downgrades of issuer or bond ratings, or overseas rating downgrades during the week from January 26 to February 1, 2026.

The issuers of the top - ten turnover bonds were mostly central and state - owned enterprises. The issuers of credit bonds with a discount of more than 10% in trading were mainly related to Country Garden, Vanke, and AVIC Industry Finance [45]. - The distribution of urban investment bonds with the largest narrowing or widening of spreads was scattered. Among industrial bonds, the top five issuers with widening spreads were mostly real - estate companies, including Times Holdings, Rongqiao, Yuzhou Hongtu, and Greenland [47][48].
