High BETA and high growth stocks perform well, whereas non-linear size and value factors underperform[58][59][61] - The report analyzes the performance attribution of major indices using factor models. Indices like CSI 500, ChiNext Index, and Wind All A exhibit strong exposure to BETA factor, leading to favorable performance in style factors.
