Quantitative Models and Factors Summary Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: Rotation Model **Model Construction Idea**: The model aims to allocate between micro-cap stocks and the "Mao Index" based on relative performance and timing indicators[19][27] **Model Construction Process**: 1. **Rotation Indicators**: - Use the relative net value of micro-cap stocks to the Mao Index. If the value is above the 243-day moving average, the preference is for micro-cap stocks; otherwise, the Mao Index is preferred. - Incorporate the 20-day closing price slope of both indices. When the slopes diverge and one is positive, allocate to the index with a positive slope[19][27] 2. **Timing Indicators**: - Use the 10-year government bond yield (threshold: 0.3) and micro-cap stock volatility crowding degree (threshold: 0.55). If either indicator reaches its threshold, a liquidation signal is triggered[19][27] **Model Evaluation**: The model currently signals a balanced allocation between micro-cap stocks and the Mao Index, with no systemic risk detected in the medium term[19][20][27] Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods - **Factor Name**: Value Factor **Factor Construction Idea**: Focuses on stocks with low valuation metrics, such as price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios, to identify undervalued opportunities[55][67][70] **Factor Construction Process**: - Key metrics include: - **BP_LR**: Book value per share divided by market price - **EP_FTTM**: Forward 12-month earnings divided by market price - **SP_TTM**: Trailing 12-month sales divided by market price[67][70] **Factor Evaluation**: The value factor performed strongly in the past week, driven by market preference for cyclical and high-dividend assets amid geopolitical and inflationary concerns[55][56] - **Factor Name**: Volatility Factor **Factor Construction Idea**: Measures stock price stability and identifies opportunities in low-volatility stocks[55][67][70] **Factor Construction Process**: - Key metrics include: - **IV_CAPM**: Residual volatility from the CAPM model - **IV_FF**: Residual volatility from the Fama-French three-factor model - **Volatility_60D**: Standard deviation of 60-day returns[67][70] **Factor Evaluation**: The volatility factor showed excellent performance, reflecting market demand for stability during periods of heightened uncertainty[55][56] - **Factor Name**: Technical Factor **Factor Construction Idea**: Utilizes historical price and volume patterns to predict future stock movements[55][67][70] **Factor Construction Process**: - Key metrics include: - **Turnover_Mean_20D**: 20-day average turnover rate - **Price_Chg20D**: 20-day price change - **Skewness_240D**: Skewness of 240-day returns[67][70] **Factor Evaluation**: The technical factor also performed well, benefiting from short-term trading opportunities in a volatile market[55][56] - **Factor Name**: Growth Factor **Factor Construction Idea**: Identifies companies with strong earnings and revenue growth potential[55][67][70] **Factor Construction Process**: - Key metrics include: - **NetIncome_SQ_Chg1Y**: Year-over-year growth in quarterly net income - **OperatingIncome_SQ_Chg1Y**: Year-over-year growth in quarterly operating income - **Revenues_SQ_Chg1Y**: Year-over-year growth in quarterly revenues[67][70] **Factor Evaluation**: The growth factor underperformed due to market rotation into value and defensive sectors[55][56] - **Factor Name**: Convertible Bond Factors **Factor Construction Idea**: Combines equity and bond characteristics to identify attractive convertible bond opportunities[64][67] **Factor Construction Process**: - Key metrics include: - **Parity Premium**: Difference between the convertible bond price and its parity value - **Underlying Stock Metrics**: Factors such as growth, valuation, and quality of the underlying stock[64][67] **Factor Evaluation**: Convertible bond factors, particularly valuation and underlying stock value, achieved high IC averages last week[64][65] Backtesting Results of Models and Factors - **Rotation Model**: - Relative net value of micro-cap stocks to Mao Index: 2.49 (above the 243-day moving average of 1.97)[19][27] - 20-day closing price slope: Micro-cap stocks at 0.2%, Mao Index at -0.29%[19][27] - Volatility crowding degree: 3.37% (below the risk threshold of 55%)[19][22] - 10-year government bond yield: -2.27% (below the risk threshold of 0.3%)[19][22] - **Quantitative Factors**: - **Value Factor**: IC mean of 20.98%[55][56] - **Volatility Factor**: IC mean of 22.08%[55][56] - **Technical Factor**: IC mean of 10.07%[55][56] - **Growth Factor**: IC mean of -6.32%[55][56] - **Convertible Bond Factors**: High IC averages for valuation and underlying stock value[64][65]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The duration of the current US-Iran conflict may exceed market expectations, and the conflict may enter a "war of attrition." If the conflict unfolds beyond market expectations, the crude oil market may show a pattern of upward central tendency, increased volatility, and high-level oscillations. The pricing environment for global risk assets will face a systemic tightening, and high oil prices will suppress the valuation of technology stocks. It is recommended to balance positions and prioritize the allocation of energy security-related sectors. [5] - For the technology track, it is advisable to prioritize the export chain segments related to global energy shortages, countries' military build - up, and manufacturing expansion. Domestic logic - driven technology segments are superior to overseas mapping directions. [5][8] - For Hong Kong stocks, the resource and high - dividend sectors may benefit, while the Hang Seng Technology Index may be impacted, but its downside space is limited. [8] Summary by Directory Market Review - **Market Performance**: Last week, most major market indices rose, with the ChiNext 50 having the largest increase of 2.62%. Among the major industries, the utility index and the daily consumption index performed relatively well, with weekly changes of 3.01% and 0.42% respectively, while the telecommunications service index and the information technology index performed weakly, with weekly changes of - 2.59% and - 1.17% respectively. Among the 30 Shenwan primary industries, 10 industries rose. The industries with larger increases were coal, power equipment, and building decoration, with increases of 5.03%, 4.55%, and 4.12% respectively. The industries with larger declines were national defense and military industry, petroleum and petrochemicals, and non - ferrous metals, with declines of 6.64%, 4.33%, and 3.69% respectively. [9][15][17] - **Trading Heat**: Last week, the average daily trading volume of the Wind All - A was 24987.07 billion yuan (the previous value was 26446.19 billion yuan), which was at a relatively high historical level (92.10% of the three - year historical quantile). [9][20] - **Valuation Tracking**: As of March 13, 2026, the valuation (PE_TTM) of the Wind All - A was 23.33, a decrease of - 0.10 from the previous week, and it was at the 97.80% quantile of the historical level (in the past 5 years). Among the 30 Shenwan primary industries, 10 industries' valuations (PE_TTM) showed improvement. [9][26] Market Observation - **How Geopolitical Conflicts May Affect Major Asset Classes** - **Asset Allocation in Case of Prolonged Geopolitical Conflict**: The current US - Iran conflict may last longer than expected. If the conflict unfolds beyond market expectations, the crude oil market will show upward trends, and the pricing environment for global risk assets will tighten. It is recommended to balance positions and prioritize the allocation of energy security - related sectors. For the technology track, prioritize export chain segments related to energy shortages, military build - up, and manufacturing expansion. Domestic logic - driven technology segments are better than overseas mapping directions. For Hong Kong stocks, resource and high - dividend sectors may benefit, while the Hang Seng Technology Index may be impacted but with limited downside. [5][8] - **Investment Recommendations** - **Main Line 1**: Focus on "conflict - beneficiary" sectors such as energy, resources, and public utilities and add positions on dips. [8] - **Main Line 2**: Pay attention to the technology export chain driven by energy transformation and military expansion, such as photovoltaic, energy storage, wind power, non - ferrous metals, rare earths, nuclear power equipment, electronic components, and basic chemicals with dual - use properties. [8] - **Two Types of Risks to Watch**: First, small - and medium - cap and concept stocks with a relatively high proportion of leveraged funds are vulnerable to liquidity shocks and enhanced financial supervision. Second, overseas technology mapping sectors may be affected by both valuation and earnings expectations due to geopolitical disturbances. [8] Economic Calendar - **Domestic Economic Data**: On March 16, 2026, data on February's fixed - asset investment, social retail sales, industrial added value, real estate, and other economic data will be released. [28] - **Overseas Economic Data**: On March 16, 2026, the year - on - year growth rate of US retail sales in February will be released; on March 18, the year - on - year growth rates of US PPI and core PPI in February will be released; on March 19, the US federal funds target rate will be announced, and the Federal Reserve will release its interest rate decision.
