未来之辩：中国是否会重现日本失落的轨迹？我们的答案——"不会"。中国经济不同于日本，最大的区 别是中国的创新能力远超日本，另一个优势则在于中国的不可替代性。日本经济在20世纪90年代以后失 去发展动能，一个很重要的历史背景是中国经济的迅速崛起，从而不断削弱日本的产业优势。然而对于 中国而言，在中国之后"下一个还是中国"。云开雾散，中国市场已经从部分投资者此前认为的"不可投 资"（uninvestable）转向为具有"战略配置价值"（value of strategic allocation）的市场。 配置之辩：股市的增量资金来自哪里？从大的方向上看，我们认为股市的增量资金源于低利率环境下居 民和金融机构资产的再配置。2024-2025年是中国历史上第一次房价持续下跌的同时股票市场大涨。这 意味着，中国房地产市场之于股市，历史上首次从资金分流方变成了资金推动方。正是房地产市场持续 低迷带来的低利率和资产荒，催生了本轮中国股票市场牛市。预期正在照进现实。此外，高净值人群和 保险资金是本轮资产再配置的主力军，当前的资产再配置并不是因为股市转暖而出现的"一哄而上"的行 为，而是理性且渐进的，因此本轮行情的韧性可能会超 ...

Core Viewpoint - The narrative of "deposit migration" has gained traction again, particularly with a significant amount of high-interest fixed deposits maturing in 2026, which may lead to asset reallocation towards financial markets in a low-interest environment [1][4] Group 1: Deposit Maturity and Trends - Since 2022, the annual scale of maturing fixed deposits has reached new highs, with an annual increase of 4-7 trillion yuan; the total maturing fixed deposits in 2026 are estimated to be around 57-60 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 5-8 trillion yuan [6][7] - The proportion of personal fixed deposits in state-owned banks accounts for 67% of total fixed deposits in these banks, and 50% of personal fixed deposits across all banks, which can be used to extrapolate data for the entire banking system [6] Group 2: Resident Behavior and Preferences - Despite low interest rates, many residents are likely to continue choosing fixed deposits, insurance, or early loan repayments after their deposits mature, as income expectations remain constrained and preserving value is a core concern for most savers [10][11] - The proportion of residents' fixed deposits is expected to be 73.4% in 2025, an increase of 0.8 percentage points from 2024; the trend of early loan repayments is also significant, with personal housing loan reductions projected at 630 billion yuan, 490 billion yuan, and 670 billion yuan from 2023 to 2025 [10] Group 3: Investment Behavior Post-Maturity - The proportion of funds from maturing fixed deposits that will be reinvested into equity assets is expected to be relatively limited, as the current maturing deposits are primarily from low-risk preference funds that have already been filtered [13][14] - Historical data from Japan during the 1995-1996 period supports this view, where despite a peak in maturing deposits and low interest rates, residents increased their holdings in cash and low-risk assets rather than high-risk assets [14][16] Group 4: Observations on Financial Asset Allocation - The current trend of deposit migration began in Q3 2023 and is expected to continue until Q4 2025, with the proportion of deposits in residents' financial assets decreasing from 88% to 53-54% [19] - The remaining space for deposit migration is estimated to be around 1-2 percentage points, with the potential low point for the proportion of deposits in financial assets projected to be between 52% and 53% [19][20] Group 5: Broader Financial Market Considerations - For the equity market, deposits are just one potential source of liquidity; attention should also be given to disposable income after consumption and investments in non-financial assets, as well as allocations in insurance and bond-like assets [23] - The earning potential of bonds and insurance assets is expected to decline significantly by 2025, while the equity market may see improved earning potential, prompting high-net-worth individuals to adjust their asset allocations accordingly [23]

Investment Rating - The industry rating for precious metals is "Overweight" (Maintain) [7] Core Insights - The report highlights that the long-term increase in gold holdings by central banks is driven by concerns over the creditworthiness of dollar assets, the need for stable exchange rates in extreme scenarios, and geopolitical risks. It is projected that central banks will continue to increase their gold reserves, stabilizing at around 800 tons per year from 2026 to 2030 [2] - The report anticipates that the average gold price could rise to between $5,400 and $6,800 per ounce from 2026 to 2028, driven by a potential increase in the investment allocation of gold in global financial assets [6] Summary by Sections Section 1: Gold Price Projections - The average gold price is expected to reach $6,800 per ounce by 2028, with projections for 2026 and 2027 being $5,463 and $6,059 per ounce respectively. This is based on historical distribution of gold allocation and structural shifts due to de-dollarization and geopolitical factors [6][12] Section 2: Central Bank Demand - Central banks are expected to maintain a long-term increase in gold holdings, with the proportion of gold in reserves projected to rise to 21.4% by mid-2025. If this proportion reaches the historical median of 34% by 2035, the demand for gold could continue to grow [2] Section 3: Non-Investment Demand - Non-investment demand for gold, primarily from jewelry and industrial uses, is expected to stabilize. Jewelry demand is projected to average around 1,951 tons per year, while industrial demand is expected to remain steady at approximately 332 tons per year [3] Section 4: Investment Demand - The report estimates that the stock of gold allocated for personal and institutional investment will gradually increase, with projections for 2026, 2027, and 2028 being 85,713 tons, 86,642 tons, and 87,953 tons respectively [4] Section 5: Financial Asset Allocation - There is still room for increased allocation of gold in global financial assets, with the expected market value of investable gold reaching approximately $15.1 trillion, $16.9 trillion, and $19.3 trillion in 2026, 2027, and 2028 respectively [5][16]

Group 4: Economic and Policy Factors - The decline of the dollar is attributed to multiple factors, including fluctuating trade policies and tariffs, which create instability in economic growth and interest rate expectations [2][7]. - Geopolitical uncertainties have raised risk premiums but have not translated into a unilateral benefit for the dollar, leading to a diversified investment approach favoring currencies like the euro and Australian dollar [2][7]. - Discussions around the independence of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy are gaining traction, affecting market confidence in long-term inflation and interest rate frameworks [3][7].

Core Viewpoint - In 2025, the Chinese stock market experienced a strong rebound, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a ten-year high, while the market structure showed significant differentiation. Looking ahead to 2026, the company aims to identify new opportunities through four debates: future debate, allocation debate, current debate, and strategy debate [3]. Future Debate - China is unlikely to follow Japan's path of economic stagnation, primarily due to its superior innovation capabilities and irreplaceability in the global market. The perception of the Chinese market has shifted from "uninvestable" to having "strategic allocation value" [5][10]. - The Chinese stock market's performance from 2021 to 2024 raised concerns about a potential "lost decade," similar to Japan's experience. However, the market's recovery in 2025 has led to a more optimistic outlook [10][11]. Current Debate - The anticipated capital expenditure in AI may not materialize as expected. While AI is seen as a significant technological revolution, the high profit margins and capital requirements in the industry present challenges for sustainable growth [21][29]. - The contradiction between massive capital expenditure and high profit margins in the AI industry could limit growth potential. The market's expectations for cloud service providers' capital expenditures are substantial, but achieving the necessary revenue growth poses a significant challenge [22][23][27]. Strategy Debate - The company maintains a positive outlook for the market in 2026 but advises investors to temper their return expectations. The focus will be on defensive strategies and seeking opportunities in technology and advanced manufacturing sectors, while also exploring contrarian investments in underappreciated sectors like consumption, military, and real estate [30][31]. - The company emphasizes the importance of rational and gradual asset reallocation in the current market environment, contrasting with previous market behaviors characterized by herd mentality [15][20]. Investment Focus Areas - The company is optimistic about the technology sector, particularly in AI applications and innovative pharmaceuticals, as well as advanced manufacturing, which has shown significant growth potential [32][33]. - In the consumer sector, despite a challenging environment, some leading companies have demonstrated resilience and growth, making them attractive for stable investment [33]. - The military sector is expected to benefit from ongoing geopolitical tensions, while the real estate market is viewed as having structural opportunities despite current challenges [34].

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese stock market is expected to rebound strongly in 2025, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a ten-year high, while the market structure remains highly differentiated. The article discusses how to seize new opportunities in 2026 from four perspectives: future debate, allocation debate, current debate, and strategy debate [3]. Future Debate - China is unlikely to repeat Japan's lost decades due to its superior innovation capabilities and irreplaceability in the global market. The Chinese economy's rise has diminished Japan's industrial advantages, and the market has shifted from being viewed as "uninvestable" to having "strategic allocation value" [3][9][10]. - The historical context of Japan's economic stagnation post-1990s is contrasted with China's current trajectory, emphasizing that China's innovation in technology and manufacturing is advancing rapidly [7][8]. Allocation Debate - The influx of new capital into the stock market is driven by asset reallocation from residents and financial institutions in a low-interest-rate environment. The real estate market's downturn has transformed it from a source of capital diversion to a driver of stock market growth [4][12]. - High-net-worth individuals and insurance funds are leading this asset reallocation, which is characterized as rational and gradual rather than speculative [12][14]. Current Debate - The article raises concerns about whether AI capital expenditure expectations can be met, highlighting the potential for AI to be a significant technological revolution. However, the high profit margins in the industry may limit the overall economic growth associated with AI [5][19]. - The article discusses the challenges of achieving the necessary revenue growth to support the anticipated capital expenditures in the AI sector, suggesting that the required income increments are substantial compared to the current GDP [20][21]. Strategy Debate - The outlook for 2026 remains positive, but investors should temper their return expectations. The ongoing asset reallocation process is expected to sustain market resilience, with a focus on defensive strategies and identifying opportunities in technology and advanced manufacturing sectors [26][27]. - Specific sectors to watch include: - **Technology**: Continued investment in AI applications and companies that can leverage AI for efficiency [29]. - **Advanced Manufacturing**: Growth in sectors related to AI and robotics, with a focus on domestic cycles and equipment upgrades [30]. - **Consumer**: Identifying resilient companies in traditional sectors that can maintain performance despite broader economic challenges [31]. - **Military**: Anticipated recovery in the military sector as procurement cycles normalize [31]. - **Real Estate**: Looking for structural opportunities in real estate services and resilient developers amid ongoing market adjustments [31].

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese stock market is expected to rebound strongly in 2025, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a ten-year high, while the market structure remains highly differentiated. The outlook for 2026 involves identifying new opportunities through various debates [1][30]. Future Debate - China is unlikely to follow Japan's path of economic stagnation, primarily due to its superior innovation capabilities and irreplaceability in the global market. The market perception has shifted from being "uninvestable" to having "strategic allocation value" [5][9][10]. Allocation Debate - The incremental funds for the stock market are derived from asset reallocation by residents and financial institutions in a low-interest-rate environment. The real estate market has transitioned from being a source of capital diversion to a driving force for the stock market, marking a historical first [11][40]. - High-net-worth individuals and insurance funds are the main drivers of this asset reallocation, which is characterized by a rational and gradual approach rather than a speculative rush [12][41]. Current Debate - The expectations for AI capital expenditure are high, as AI is seen as a significant technological revolution. However, the industry faces challenges in reconciling high profit margins with the need for substantial capital investment, which may impact the pace of capital expenditure [17][23]. Strategy Debate - The market outlook for 2026 remains positive, but investors should temper their return expectations. The strategy focuses on defensive counterattacks and seeking alpha opportunities in technology and advanced manufacturing sectors, while also exploring contrarian investments in consumer, military, and real estate sectors [24][32][26].
