Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the need for factorization of the industry rotation model to adapt to the upward market environment expected from 2025, highlighting the decline in effectiveness of traditional reversal logic factors and the importance of momentum-based factors in stock selection [2][6]. Industry Rotation Model Factorization - The industry rotation model consists of three main categories of factors: fundamental, liquidity, and technical, with technical factors providing unique incremental information that complements traditional stock selection factors [5][6]. - Direct factorization of the industry rotation model is proposed as a superior method, allowing for better performance in upward markets and addressing the challenges of integrating with traditional index enhancement frameworks [6][53]. - The industry momentum factor, when isolated, shows lower correlation with traditional factors, providing additional sources of excess returns and enhancing portfolio performance [22][54]. Performance of Industry Momentum Factor - The industry momentum factor's performance has shown a decline in stability but maintains a good upward trend, with a monthly Information Coefficient (IC) of 3.03% and an Information Ratio (ICIR) of 0.22 [16][54]. - The industry momentum factor exhibits low correlation with other major factors, indicating its potential to enhance portfolio returns and reduce volatility [18][20]. Industry Momentum Domain Perspective - The analysis of different momentum groups reveals significant performance differences among factors, with high momentum groups showing better results for low volatility and reversal factors compared to low momentum groups [25][30][31]. - The industry momentum factor can activate the performance of reversal and momentum factors, leading to improved overall factor performance [39][40]. Comparison of Factorization vs. Industry Deviation Control - The comparison between using the industry rotation model solely for controlling deviations and direct factorization shows that the latter consistently yields better performance [46][50]. - Adjusting constraints to allow for more flexibility in industry momentum groups further enhances the performance of the factorized model [49][51].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Core Viewpoints - The report attempts to upgrade the Shenwan Quantitative Growth Portfolio by using the industry rotation model to enhance the portfolio's return performance and constructs the Shenwan Quantitative Growth Portfolio 2.0 version. It uses a non - linear weighted method to adjust the individual stock weights, effectively improving the portfolio's return without sacrificing stability [3][37] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Shenwan Quantitative Growth Portfolio 1.1 Construction Logic and Historical Performance of Shenwan Quantitative Growth Portfolio - The portfolio is based on the prediction of listed companies' high future performance growth. It selects stocks through analyst consensus data, including taking the top half of stocks in terms of current - year profit forecast growth rate, removing samples with negative cumulative profit growth in the first three quarters at the end of October, and finally screening 50 stocks using the analyst consensus change factor [4] - The portfolio has achieved good results in performance prediction, with the median of average net profit growth rate falling in the top 10% - 20% of the whole - market stock net profit growth rate in the second year. It also shows distinct growth - style characteristics in historical performance, with high returns in 2019 - 2021, continuous drawdowns in 2022 - 2023, and a recovery in 2024 - 2025 [6][9] 1.2 Using the Industry Rotation Model to Further Enhance Returns - The industry rotation model, effective in the bull - market environment similar to the growth - style environment, can be used to enhance the return elasticity of the growth portfolio. The Shenwan Quantitative Industry Rotation Model uses fundamental, capital, and technical factors, and differentiates the treatment of crowding and convergence according to momentum - dominant and non - dominant sectors [12] - The long - only portfolio of the industry rotation model has a stable excess return compared to the average of all industry indices, and its stability can be used to continuously improve the portfolio by changing individual stock weights [15] 2. Non - linear Tilted Weighting to Enhance Portfolio Return Elasticity 2.1 Non - linear Tilted Weighting Method - Linear tilted weighting has a limited impact on portfolio returns. The report uses a non - linear tilted weighting method, which over - allocates more to high - scoring industries and under - allocates more to low - scoring industries, increasing the weight difference between stocks in different industries [20] 2.2 Portfolio Performance Improvement - After weight adjustment, the portfolio's return has been effectively improved. The excess return of the new tilted portfolio compared to the equal - weighted portfolio is relatively stable, indicating that the return improvement does not sacrifice stability. The return improvement is basically stable except in 2019 [23][25][27] 2.3 Statistical Information such as Annual Performance - The tilted portfolio has higher returns in most years except 2019, with returns in 2020 and 2021 rising above 60%, and drawdowns in 2022 and 2023 decreasing. The overall annualized return of the tilted portfolio has increased, the drawdown has decreased, and the Sharpe ratio and Calmar ratio have significantly improved [30][32][34] - After weight adjustment, the maximum individual stock weight can reach 4%, and the minimum can drop to around 0.2%. The adjustment ratios of upward and downward are basically symmetric [35] 3. Summary - Based on the previous growth portfolio, the report uses the industry rotation model to improve returns, adopting a non - linear tilted weighting method. The portfolio's return has increased in most years, and the excess return stability compared to the old portfolio is good [38][39]

Core Viewpoint - The collective failure of traditional price and volume factors since 2026 has led to the emergence of a momentum-based industry rotation model, which provides a potential solution for enhancing portfolio stability and excess returns [1][4][54]. Group 1: Industry Rotation Model Characteristics - The industry rotation factor has shown strong characteristics, with a monthly Information Coefficient (IC) of 5.3% and an Information Coefficient Information Ratio (ICIR) of 4.0, indicating its robust performance [26][54]. - The industry rotation model has been effective in improving performance within traditional multi-factor frameworks, significantly enhancing excess returns and halting the decline in excess performance seen in recent years [2][54]. Group 2: Challenges and Conflicts - The industry rotation factor faces conflicts with the industry deviation constraints commonly used in index-enhanced frameworks, which can negatively impact its effectiveness [2][54]. - When applying the standard industry deviation constraint of 2% and individual stock deviation of 0.5%, the performance of the portfolio has declined, with excess returns turning negative in 2025 [2][54]. Group 3: Optimal Usage Strategy - The best approach for utilizing the industry rotation factor is to maintain the individual stock deviation constraint at 0.5% while relaxing the industry deviation constraint from 2% to 5%, which has shown to improve overall excess returns and reduce maximum drawdowns [3][54]. - Increasing the industry deviation to 4% or 5% has resulted in better overall performance, with maximum drawdowns decreasing, indicating a balanced approach to enhancing excess returns while controlling risk [3][54].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The collective failure of traditional quantitative and price factors in 2026 is related to their reverse logic, providing a scenario for the factorization of the industry rotation model with momentum characteristics [2]. - The industry rotation model has long lacked practical use scenarios, but its stability in excess returns meets the requirements of stock - selection factors, laying a foundation for its transformation into a stock - selection factor [2]. - The industry rotation factor has good factor characteristics, with a monthly IC of 5.3% and an ICIR of 0.40, and it can enhance the performance of the traditional multi - factor model [2][30]. - The industry rotation factor conflicts with the industry deviation constraints in the index - enhancement framework, but it still contributes to stock - selection and cannot be replaced by simple industry over - under - weighting or portfolio strategies [2][61]. - Keeping the individual stock deviation constraint at 0.5% while relaxing the industry deviation constraint is currently the best way to use the industry rotation factor [2][62]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Finding a Usage Scenario for the Industry Rotation Model: Starting from the Failure of Quantitative and Price Factors - Since 2026, index - enhancement funds tracking the CSI 500 index and active quantitative funds' quasi - index products have mostly underperformed the CSI 500 index. As of the end of January, all CSI 500 index - enhancement products underperformed the index, with an average underperformance of 3.46%, and active quantitative products underperformed by 1.96% on average [5]. - The main failed factors are quantitative and price factors such as liquidity, reversal, low - volatility, and market value, whose logic is mostly reverse - oriented. In the context of a rapid rise in the index and continuous driving of some popular sectors and themes in January, these factors not only failed but also reversed [7]. - The industry rotation model is a strongly momentum - driven model. The Shenwan Hongyuan Industry Rotation Model emphasizes momentum in its technical, fundamental, and capital aspects, and can complement traditional quantitative and price factors with reverse logic [10]. - The industry rotation model has long lacked practical use scenarios. Its long - only portfolio performance is not outstanding, and its stable excess return relative to the average of all industries has no practical significance for most investors [13][16]. 2. Factorization of the Industry Rotation Model - Transforming the industry model into a stock - selection model is relatively easy. By splicing the scores of each stock's industry in the industry model, a stock - based score can be obtained. However, due to the large number of stocks belonging to the same industry, the factor shows a segmented score characteristic, and orthogonal processing is required [22]. - The monthly IC of the original industry rotation factor has a correlation of over 0.4 with the growth factor. After orthogonalizing the original industry rotation factor against the growth factor, its performance shows good monotonicity, and its cumulative IC and long - short performance are excellent [23][25]. - From 2017 to January 2026, the monthly average IC of the industry rotation factor reached 5.3%, stronger than other traditional factors, and the ICIR was 0.40, ranking third, indicating excellent factor characteristics [30]. 3. Usage and Comparative Analysis of the Industry Rotation Factor - **Comparison of Four - Factor and Five - Factor Models**: Adding the industry rotation factor to the four - factor equal - weighted model to form a five - factor model can significantly improve the model's performance, especially in recent years, enhancing the model's offensive ability in a bull market and the stability of excess returns [35][38]. - **Factor Equal - Weighting vs. ICIR Weighting**: Changing the factor weighting method from simple equal - weighting to ICIR weighting does not show better results. The five - factor equal - weighted combination with the industry rotation factor performs best in each year and is the only combination with positive excess returns in all years [39]. - **Moving towards the Index - Enhancement Framework: Adding Industry Neutrality and Individual Stock Deviation Constraints**: Adding industry deviation and individual stock constraints to the model makes the industry rotation factor conflict with the industry deviation constraint. Although it can control the maximum drawdown in some years, it also reduces the performance of the five - factor model in terms of returns in some cases. In 2025, the annual excess return becomes negative after adding constraints [41][42]. - **Method of Constraining Industry Deviation Ranking through Industry Scoring**: Using industry scoring to control industry deviation ranking without using the industry rotation factor for stock - selection results in weaker performance compared to the five - factor model with industry and individual stock constraints. This method is not the best option [44]. - **Multi - Strategy Portfolio: Using Industry Rotation as a Satellite Portfolio "Platter"**: Using the industry rotation factor as a separate strategy to form a satellite portfolio and combining it with a four - factor portfolio does not show obvious advantages. The performance of the "platter portfolio" is difficult to outperform, and only the 3:7 ratio combination has a slight competitive edge, but it also shows negative excess returns in January 2026 [50]. - **Current Best Solution: Relaxing Industry Deviation while Maintaining Individual Stock Deviation Constraints**: Keeping the individual stock deviation constraint at 0.5% and relaxing the industry deviation constraint to 4% or 5% can improve the overall excess return of the portfolio, reduce the maximum drawdown of excess returns, and have a negligible impact on tracking error. This is currently the best way to use the industry rotation factor [53][57]. 4. Summary - The industry rotation model has long lacked practical use scenarios, but its stability characteristics provide a basis for its transformation into a stock - selection factor. - The industry rotation factor has good characteristics and can enhance the performance of the traditional multi - factor model, but it conflicts with the industry deviation constraint in the index - enhancement framework. - The industry rotation factor contributes to stock - selection and cannot be replaced by simple strategies. Relaxing the industry deviation constraint while maintaining the individual stock deviation constraint is the best solution [60][61][62].

- The A-share sector rotation model is constructed using six factors: capital, valuation, sentiment, momentum, overbought/oversold, and profitability. The scoring system is based on these factors to evaluate the comprehensive scores of industries[4][19] - The capital factor uses the net inflow rate of industry funds as the main data source, while the valuation factor is based on the valuation percentile of the industry over the past year. Sentiment is derived from the proportion of rising constituent stocks, momentum is calculated using the MACD indicator, overbought/oversold is measured by the RSI indicator, and profitability is based on the consensus forecast EPS percentile of the industry over the past year[19] - The scoring results of the sector rotation model show that industries such as media, social services, and food & beverage have high comprehensive scores, while industries like real estate, building materials, and environmental protection have low scores[4][20][21] - The consensus stock selection model identifies high-growth industries at the secondary level of Shenwan classification over the past 30 days. It calculates momentum factors, valuation factors, and upward frequency using monthly stock data. Additionally, it incorporates high-frequency minute-level fund flow data to compute the similarity between fund flow changes and stock price trends. Stocks with the highest similarity in the top three secondary industries are selected[22] - The selected high-growth secondary industries for this period are industrial metals, home appliance components II, and energy metals. Stocks chosen include Chang Aluminum Co., Jintian Co., and Libba Co. among others[23] - The A-share sector rotation model scoring results indicate that the media industry achieved a total score of 8, social services scored 8, and food & beverage scored 7.
