Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Financial and Real Estate Industry Fund Classification - **Classification Methods**: Classify based on the allocation and rotation ratios of funds in the primary and secondary industries of the financial and real estate sectors in the past three years, including "Finance and Real Estate + Satellite" (average allocation ratio between 60% - 70%), "Sector Rotation" (average allocation ratio below 60%), "Sub - sector Tracks" (average allocation ratio of sub - sectors > 50% and the latest allocation ratio > 60%), "Financial and Real Estate Rotation" (average unilateral annualized turnover rate of primary industries within the financial and real estate sectors > 60%), and "Financial and Real Estate Equilibrium" (other financial and real estate industry funds) [12]. - **Classification Results and Representative Funds**: Financial and real estate industry funds mainly adopt the "Sub - sector Tracks" strategy, with prominent scale and quantity. Most of these funds are concentrated in large - finance and banking. There are also a small number of "Finance and Real Estate + Satellite" and "Sector Rotation" products. Currently, there are few products focusing on sub - sectors such as real estate, securities, and insurance [19]. - **Overall Situation of Financial and Real Estate Index Funds**: In the past year, the scale of financial and real estate index funds has been much larger than that of financial and real estate active equity funds. In 2025, the scale of financial and real estate index funds increased significantly, especially in Q3 of 2025.

In terms of individual stock allocation, financial and real estate industry funds and balanced funds focus on the same key stocks, but financial and real estate industry funds currently focus more on banking, while balanced funds also have relatively high allocations in some real estate and diversified finance stocks [41]. - **Cluster Analysis of Financial and Real Estate Industry Funds**: Through cluster analysis, financial and real estate industry funds can be roughly divided into five types, including those with rotation styles, real - estate - chain theme funds, large - finance theme funds with different港股 allocation ratios, etc. [45]. 3.3 Comparison of Financial and Real Estate Funds with Different Style Characteristics - **Turnover and Trading Dimension**: There is a negative correlation between turnover rate and performance.

Funds such as E Fund Financial Industry A, BOC Financial and Real Estate A, and Fullgoal Financial and Real Estate Industry A have more suitable stock - picking ability indicators [69]. - **Favorable and Unfavorable Environment Dimension**: Different types of products show different market - environment adaptability results. Most financial and real estate theme funds perform better in favorable environments than in unfavorable environments, and there are also some products with balanced performance in both environments [72]. - **Sub - sector Rotation Dimension**: The sector - rotation performance of financial and real estate theme funds is highly polarized. There are actively rotating products, products that淡化 rotation, and products that rotate moderately [75]. - **High - performing Products in the Past Year**: The top - ten high - performing financial and real estate theme products in the past year mostly had a performance of over 15%, and some leading products achieved a return of over 20%.
