Group 1: Historical Wealth Migrations - The first historical migration occurred from 1998 to 2018, where deposits moved to real estate due to housing market reforms and rising property prices[3][14]. - The second migration from 2018 to 2023 saw wealth returning to deposits as the real estate market declined, with average annual new deposits reaching approximately 12 trillion yuan, significantly higher than the previous 4-5 trillion yuan[4][21]. - The third migration, starting in 2023, is characterized by a shift towards "deposits+" as low interest rates and inflation expectations reshape asset allocation strategies[5][28]. Group 2: Current Trends and Influencing Factors - Since 2023, new deposits have decreased to 16.7 trillion yuan, indicating a loosening of concentrated deposit allocations[28]. - The relative attractiveness of deposit yields has declined due to multiple rounds of interest rate cuts, prompting a shift towards "deposit-like" financial products[28][29]. - The recovery in bond and equity markets since 2024 has improved the relative returns of risk assets, making them more appealing compared to deposits[29][32]. Group 3: Implications of Inflation Expectations - Inflation expectations are a key variable influencing the direction and intensity of the current wealth migration, with low inflation leading to a preference for capital preservation products[11][32]. - The concept of "deposits+" emphasizes a wealth allocation philosophy that prioritizes stable returns while controlling for capital drawdown risks[33]. - If inflation expectations rise significantly, the flow of resident wealth may shift again, necessitating close monitoring of economic indicators[33].
