Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of performance attribution in private equity investments, highlighting that understanding the underlying sources of returns is crucial for making informed investment decisions [4][5].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - A-share and US stock equity markets both showed strong performances after short-term adjustments. All strategy indices gained positive returns this week, with defensive-style sectors that had experienced longer pullbacks performing better, and domestic equity portfolios achieving excess returns. The Evergreen Low-Volatility Strategy and Stock Fund Enhancement Strategy earned 1.826% and 1.620% respectively, while the Overseas Equity Strategy recorded a 0.610% return [2]. - The quantitative strategy configuration preference is: Stock Fund Enhancement Strategy > Evergreen Low-Volatility Strategy > Overseas Equity Strategy. The A-share market is expected to maintain an upward trend, with limited downside potential. The Stock Fund Enhancement Strategy has more room, the Evergreen Low-Volatility Strategy can serve as a base allocation, and defensive sectors like banks still have high long-term allocation value. For the US stock market, it's not advisable to chase high in the short term, but its long-term upward trend is still optimistic, and attention should be paid to potential pullbacks for bottom-fishing opportunities [3][4]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Toolized Fund Portfolio Performance Tracking - **Evergreen Low-Volatility Fund Portfolio**: Maintained low volatility characteristics, with both portfolio volatility and maximum drawdown significantly better than the CSI Active Equity Fund Index.

It is expected to have stronger elasticity when the market environment improves, and can maintain a similar trend to the benchmark in a weak market [16]. - **Cash Enhancement Fund Portfolio**: Through double screening of risk elimination and scoring optimization, it continuously outperformed the benchmark. Since the strategy started at the end of July 2023, the excess return has been continuously accumulated, providing an effective reference for investors in cash management [17]. - **Overseas Equity Allocation Fund Portfolio**: Since July 31, 2023, in the context of the Fed's interest rate cut cycle and the boost of artificial intelligence technology to global technology stocks, it has accumulated a high level of excess returns, and global allocation can enhance the returns of equity investment portfolios [20]. 2. Toolized Fund Portfolio Construction Ideas - **Active Equity Funds**: Combine fund holding dimension factors and net value dimension factors to construct a low-volatility fund portfolio strategy to meet the defensive needs of investors in high-risk markets and provide stable returns for medium-risk preference investors.
