Group 1 - The core conclusion of the report indicates that the recent investment style is characterized by three main features: new, small, and fast. The strongest industry trends since September last year are AI and new consumption, which align with new industrial logic [2][6][7] - The first feature, "new," highlights that the strongest industries during 2013-2015 were TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecommunications) driven by the growth of mobile internet, similar to the current AI trend. New consumption sectors such as dining, tourism, light industry, and textiles outperformed traditional sectors like food and home appliances [3][6][7] - The second feature, "small," notes that small-cap stocks are currently active, especially during market fluctuations, mirroring the performance of small-cap stocks during 2013-2015 [11][15] - The third feature, "fast," refers to the rapid rotation of market trends, with AI and robotics showing strong excess returns in Q4 of last year and Q1 of this year, but weaker performance recently. This mirrors the volatility seen in TMT during 2013-2015 [12][15] Group 2 - The report identifies the underlying reasons for the current investment style as a weak economy with a strong market, a decline in old funds (active public funds), and a rise in new funds (financing balance, speculative quantitative funds). Additionally, continuous policy support is noted, with a slow IPO pace [15][19] - The report suggests that despite a weak economic backdrop, there are structural opportunities in the stock market, similar to the conditions observed during 2013-2015 when economic growth was also weak [15][19] - The report anticipates that the market may experience a slight pullback from late May to July, with pressures including slow economic recovery and reduced trading enthusiasm among retail investors. However, a return to a bullish market is possible in Q3 if any of the factors related to earnings, policy, or retail funds turn optimistic [21][23]

Core Viewpoint - The article provides an overview of the updated active fund manager pool information for Q1 2025, including various metrics such as investment style, stock ratio, industry preference, turnover rate, valuation of heavy holdings, concentration of holdings, and fund size [1][2][30]. Active Fund Manager Pool - The article lists various fund managers along with their respective funds, highlighting their investment styles such as growth, value, and balanced strategies [1][3][10]. Investment Style - Investment styles are categorized into growth and value, with historical performance trends indicating periods of dominance for each style. The article emphasizes the importance of selecting fund managers with a consistent investment style [33][34]. Fund Manager Tenure - The article discusses the significance of fund manager tenure, suggesting that experienced managers who have navigated through market cycles are more likely to deliver reliable performance [36][37]. Stock Ratio - The stock ratio, or the proportion of stocks held in a fund, is highlighted as a critical metric. Active funds typically maintain a stock ratio around 85% to 90%, with higher ratios indicating greater volatility [39]. Industry Preference - Fund managers often focus on specific industries where they have expertise. The article suggests analyzing the top three industries that a fund manager invests in for better risk diversification [41][42]. Holding Concentration - The concentration of holdings, defined as the percentage of the fund's net assets represented by the top ten holdings, is discussed. Higher concentration typically leads to greater volatility [43]. Heavy Holdings Valuation - The article notes that the valuation of heavy holdings can be estimated from the fund's periodic reports, although it may not be entirely accurate due to infrequent updates [44]. Turnover Rate - The turnover rate, indicating how frequently a fund manager buys and sells stocks, is mentioned as a key metric. A turnover rate below 200% is considered low for active funds [46]. Fund Size - The size of the fund is discussed, with larger funds potentially facing challenges in generating excess returns due to increased management difficulty and limitations on investment choices [49].

These insights can vary significantly among managers [51].
