Quantitative Models and Construction Methods Factor Covariance Matrix and Specific Volatility - **Model Name**: Factor Covariance Matrix - **Construction Idea**: The factor covariance matrix is used to capture the dynamic co-variation relationships between factors, providing a systematic framework for understanding market risk transmission mechanisms[3][18] - **Construction Process**: 1. **EM Algorithm**: Used to fill missing values in factor returns. The E-step estimates the conditional expectation of missing values, while the M-step re-estimates parameters iteratively until convergence Formula: $E[f_{mis}|f_{obs}]=\mu_{mis}+\Sigma_{mis,obs}\Sigma_{obs,obs}^{-1}(f_{obs}-\mu_{obs})$[21] Log-likelihood function: $L(\mu,\Sigma)=-\frac{T}{2}\big(D ln(2\pi)+\ln\big(\operatorname*{det}(\Sigma)\big)\big)-\frac{1}{2}\sum_{t=1}^{T}(f_{t}-\mu)^{\prime}\Sigma^{-1}(f_{t}-\mu)$[22] 2. **Half-life Weighted Adjustment**: Assigns exponentially decaying weights to historical data, emphasizing recent data[26] 3. **Newey-West Adjustment**: Corrects for heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation in time series data Formula: $\Sigma_{NW}=\Sigma_{0}+\sum_{i=1}^{L}w_{i}(\Sigma_{i}+\Sigma_{i}^{\prime})$[28] 4. **Eigenfactor Adjustment**: Addresses systematic underestimation of low-risk factor combinations using Monte Carlo simulations[35][38] 5. **Volatility Regime Adjustment (VRA)**: Adjusts factor volatilities to account for cross-sectional biases Formula: $\lambda_{F}=\sqrt{\sum_{t}(B_{t}^{F})^{2}w_{t}}$ $\tilde{\sigma}_{k}=\lambda_{F}\sigma_{k}$[53][54] - **Evaluation**: The factor covariance matrix effectively captures market co-variation relationships and provides reliable inputs for portfolio optimization[18][85] - **Model Name**: Specific Volatility - **Construction Idea**: Specific volatility focuses on predicting idiosyncratic risks at the stock level, addressing missing values and data anomalies[60] - **Construction Process**: 1. **Half-life Weighted Adjustment and Newey-West Adjustment**: Similar to the factor covariance matrix, but with different half-life settings for covariance and autocovariance matrices[61] 2. **Structured Model**: Adjusts for missing and anomalous data based on the relationship between specific volatility and factor exposures Formula: $\ln(\sigma_{n}^{TS})=\sum_{k}x_{nk}b_{k}+\epsilon_{n}$[67] 3. **Bayesian Shrinkage**: Reduces mean-reversion bias by shrinking estimates toward group averages Formula: $\sigma_{n}^{SH}=v_{n}\bar{\sigma}(g_{n})+(1-v_{n})\hat{\sigma}_{n}$[72] 4. **Volatility Regime Adjustment (VRA)**: Similar to factor volatility adjustment, but incorporates market-cap-weighted cross-sectional biases Formula: $\lambda_{S}=\sqrt{\sum_{t}(B_{t}^{S})^{2}w_{t}}$ $\tilde{\sigma}_{n}=\lambda_{S}\sigma_{n}^{SH}$[79][80] - **Evaluation**: Specific volatility adjustments improve the accuracy of idiosyncratic risk predictions, particularly for stocks with high data quality[60][73] --- Model Backtesting Results Factor Covariance Matrix - **Bias Statistic**: - Random portfolios: 1.05-1.06 - CSI 300: 1.15-1.19 - CSI 1000: 1.10-1.16[91] - **Q Statistic**: - Random portfolios: 2.73 - CSI 300: 2.95-2.97 - CSI 1000: 2.72-2.83[91] Specific Volatility - **Bias Statistic**: - Random portfolios: 1.06-1.07 - CSI 300: 1.19 - CSI 1000: 1.10[93] - **Q Statistic**: - Random portfolios: 2.73 - CSI 300: 2.97 - CSI 1000: 2.72[93] --- Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods Composite Fundamental-Price Factor - **Factor Name**: Composite Fundamental-Price Factor - **Construction Idea**: Combines low-frequency and high-frequency price-volume factors with fundamental factors to predict stock returns[128] - **Construction Process**: 1. **Lasso Model**: Uses a penalty coefficient of 0.001 to select features and predict market-neutralized stock returns[128] 2. **Factor Evaluation**: - RankIC: 7.43% - ICIR: 0.72 - Annualized long-short excess return: 61.15%[131] - **Evaluation**: The factor demonstrates strong predictive power but exhibits periodic underperformance during unfavorable market conditions[130] --- Factor Backtesting Results Composite Fundamental-Price Factor - **RankIC**: 7.43% - **ICIR**: 0.72 - **Annualized Long-Short Excess Return**: 61.15% - **Annualized Long-Only Excess Return**: 18.74%[131] 800 Index Enhancement Strategy - **Annualized Returns**: - Portfolio 1 (only stock deviation control): 18.28% - Portfolio 2 (stock/industry/style deviation control): 16.26% - Portfolio 3 (stock deviation + tracking error control): 17.81%[135][144] - **Tracking Error**: - Portfolio 1: 9.14% - Portfolio 2: 4.73% - Portfolio 3: 4.99%[135] --- Evaluation and Insights - The factor covariance matrix and specific volatility models provide robust risk predictions, enabling effective portfolio optimization and risk decomposition[85][152] - The composite fundamental-price factor demonstrates strong predictive ability but requires careful management of style and industry constraints to maintain alpha generation[130][136]

Report Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Core Views - The remarks of Besent suggesting a possible 50 - basis - point interest rate cut in September boosted the US stocks, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq hitting new highs. In the domestic market, the Shanghai Composite Index successfully broke through the high of the "924" market last year. Although the trading volume on that day increased significantly compared with recent days but did not reach an extremely high level. There may be short - term washing behavior, but the overall upward channel pattern is maintained. It is recommended that investors pay attention to the layout opportunities during the pullbacks [3]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Analysis - **Consumption Policy Advancement**: Domestically, from January to July this year, the cumulative increase in social financing scale was 23.99 trillion yuan, 5.12 trillion yuan more than the same period last year; RMB loans increased by 12.87 trillion yuan. At the end of July, M2 increased by 8.8% year - on - year, M1 increased by 5.6%, and the stock of social financing scale increased by 9%. Four departments including the central bank explained two discount policies, which are an innovative exploration of fiscal - financial coordination to support and boost consumption and will form a "combination punch" with policies such as subsidies for trading in old consumer goods for new ones. Overseas, US Treasury Secretary Besent issued the clearest call for interest rate cuts so far, asking the Federal Reserve to immediately start a new round of interest rate cut cycles and stating that US interest rates should be 150 to 175 basis points lower than the current level. He believes that the Federal Reserve may start interest rate cuts earlier, and there is a high possibility of a 50 - basis - point rate cut in September [1]. - **Shanghai Composite Index Uptrend**: In the spot market, the three major A - share indices fluctuated upwards. The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.48% to close at 3683.46 points, and the ChiNext Index rose 3.62%. In terms of industries, most sector indices rose. The communication, non - ferrous metals, electronics, and pharmaceutical and biological industries led the gains, while the banking, coal, and food and beverage industries led the losses. The trading volume of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets exceeded 2 trillion yuan on that day. In the overseas market, the three major US stock indices closed up across the board, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 1.04% to close at 44922.27 points [1]. - **Futures Index Position Reduction**: In the futures market, in terms of basis, the current - month futures index contract will be delivered on Friday, and the basis tends to converge. In terms of trading volume and open interest, the trading volume of the IH contract increased, while the open interest of stock index futures decreased [2]. 2.
