A-Share Market - The A-share market experienced an overall adjustment this week, with significant declines in small and mid-cap sectors. The CSI 1000, CSI 500, and CSI 2000 indices fell by 3.64%, 3.44%, and 3.00% respectively, while the NEEQ 50 led the decline with a drop of 7.14%. In contrast, large-cap indices like the Shanghai Composite Index decreased by only 0.93%, and the CSI 300 fell by 1.07% [5][6] - A notable style shift occurred in the A-share market, with cyclical sectors rising against the trend while technology growth sectors faced deep corrections. The oil and petrochemical sector surged by 7.18%, and coal prices increased by 3.50%, driven by heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. International oil prices surpassed $80 per barrel, boosting the A-share oil and gas sector significantly [6][7] - Looking ahead, the market is expected to maintain a volatile adjustment pattern in the short term.

In terms of sectors, the energy sector rose by 3.74%, while materials and non-essential consumer sectors fell by 7.79% and 5.79% respectively [8][9] - The Hong Kong market faced downward pressure primarily due to tightening overseas liquidity expectations and rising geopolitical risks. As an offshore market, Hong Kong is highly sensitive to external liquidity changes, with major internet companies like Tencent and Alibaba experiencing significant pressure [8][9] - In the outlook, the Hong Kong market is expected to maintain a volatile pattern in the short term, but structural opportunities still exist. The timing of potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve remains a key variable. If a rate cut cycle begins in the second half of the year, Hong Kong could see a return of foreign capital. The current valuation of the Hang Seng Technology Index presents a favorable long-term investment opportunity [9]

Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: Hong Kong Stock CCASS Preferred 20 Portfolio **Model Construction Idea**: The model leverages CCASS data from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to track and replicate the monthly holdings of individual brokers. It identifies high-performing brokers and constructs a portfolio based on their holdings[36][38] **Model Construction Process**: 1. Use CCASS data to analyze the holdings of brokers in Hong Kong stocks 2. At the end of each month, rank all brokers based on their standardized excess Sharpe ratio and monthly win rate, and calculate a composite score by equally weighting these two metrics 3. Select the top N brokers with the highest composite scores to form a pool of high-performing brokers 4. Allocate funds equally among the N brokers and aggregate their latest holdings 5. Retain the top M stocks by weight and allocate them equally to construct the portfolio Formula: $ \text{Composite Score} = \text{Standardized Excess Sharpe Ratio} + \text{Monthly Win Rate} $ Parameters: - N = 10 (number of brokers) - M = 20 (number of stocks) **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively identifies high-performing brokers and constructs a portfolio with strong historical performance, demonstrating its potential for excess returns[36][37][38] Model Backtesting Results - **Hong Kong Stock CCASS Preferred 20 Portfolio**: - February 2026 performance: - Portfolio return: -3.36% - Benchmark (Hang Seng Index) return: -2.76% - Excess return: -0.60%[38] - Full period performance (2020.1–2026.2): - Annualized excess return: 17.0% - Excess Sharpe ratio: 2.23[38] - Annualized performance by year: - 2020: Annualized excess return 22.6%, Sharpe ratio 2.33, maximum drawdown -4.9%, monthly win rate 66.7% - 2021: Annualized excess return 13.8%, Sharpe ratio 1.72, maximum drawdown -4.1%, monthly win rate 75.0% - 2022: Annualized excess return 11.4%, Sharpe ratio 1.35, maximum drawdown -5.6%, monthly win rate 66.7% - 2023: Annualized excess return 19.6%, Sharpe ratio 2.85, maximum drawdown -3.3%, monthly win rate 75.0% - 2024: Annualized excess return 21.6%, Sharpe ratio 3.04, maximum drawdown -3.8%, monthly win rate 91.7% - 2025: Annualized excess return 18.1%, Sharpe ratio 3.41, maximum drawdown -2.6%, monthly win rate 83.3% - 2026 YTD: Annualized excess return -8.3%, Sharpe ratio -1.64, maximum drawdown -1.8%, monthly win rate 0.0% - Full period: Annualized excess return 17.0%, Sharpe ratio 2.23, maximum drawdown -7.3%, monthly win rate 74.3%[39]
