Core Viewpoint - The A-share and Hong Kong stock markets continue to exhibit "volatile differentiation + internal rotation of technology style," with capital preference focusing on power equipment, non-ferrous metals, and electronics sectors [1][4] Economic Environment - The U.S. August core PCE data did not show significant inflationary pressure, increasing market bets on two more rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year [1][18] - The "Great American Rescue Plan" is expected to gradually take effect in the second half of the year, alongside fiscal and monetary expansion in Europe, which may boost global demand recovery [1][11] Industry Performance - The technology-related overseas sectors are performing strongly due to ongoing capital expenditure expansion related to AI, while traditional manufacturing and consumption sectors are relatively weak due to high interest rates suppressing demand [2][8] - The A-share and Hong Kong markets are seeing a rotation in capital towards sectors with clear improvement in profitability, such as power equipment and non-ferrous metals [4][6] Investment Opportunities - The AI sector remains a mid-term industry prosperity mainline, with potential for short-term trading adjustments as valuations digest [3][18] - Key areas to watch include battery, engineering machinery, and the anti-involution price increase chain (express delivery, breeding, fiberglass) [3][18] - The overseas capital goods chain is worth early-stage exploration, particularly in non-ferrous metals, engineering machinery, and petrochemicals [3][18] Market Trends - Historical analysis shows that after the Fed resumes rate cuts, improvements in the U.S. job market often lag, while PMI and CPI rebound more quickly [14][18] - The current high interest rate environment is expected to gradually improve housing mortgage rates and corporate financing rates, potentially leading to a recovery in the real estate sector and traditional industry investment willingness [11][18]

Market Review - The A-share market experienced overall fluctuations this week, with major indices showing mixed performance. The semiconductor industry chain strengthened significantly, with the Sci-Tech 50 Index rising by 6.47%, driven by increased capital expenditure in the AI sector and breakthroughs in domestic lithography technology. Conversely, the consumer sector weakened, with indices in social services, retail, light industry, and textiles showing the largest declines. Market turnover decreased marginally, with net inflows of financing funds maintained, and stock ETFs saw a net subscription of 231 billion yuan this week. In the commodity market, internationally priced commodities strengthened, while domestically priced black commodities declined. The dollar index rose, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield returning to around 4.2%, and the RMB depreciated against the dollar [1][2]. Market Outlook - The A-share and Hong Kong stock markets are expected to experience temporary fluctuations, with a "slow bull" market continuing. After a trend-driven rise in July and August, funding divergence has increased since September. With the upcoming long holiday, external funds entering the market may slow down, leading to potential short-term adjustments in both markets. However, the current bull market is still in play, supported by ample micro liquidity, policies aimed at stabilizing the stock market, and long-term capital inflows. Despite weak economic data, the effects of "anti-involution" policies are beginning to show, leading to marginal improvements in long-term profit expectations for A-shares. Key areas of focus include: - The technology sector remains the main focus, with both "prosperity investment" and "thematic investment" expected to coexist in October. Internal rotation within growth sectors is anticipated to accelerate, particularly in AI downstream applications, solid-state batteries, energy storage, computing power, and innovative pharmaceuticals. Attention should also be given to non-tech sectors showing positive trends, such as chemicals, non-ferrous metals, and engineering machinery [2][3]. International Perspective - On the international front, the Federal Reserve's "preventive" interest rate cuts have been implemented, but there is increasing divergence regarding future rate cut paths. In September, the Fed cut rates by 25 basis points as expected, with projections indicating a potential further reduction of 50 basis points within the year. However, there is significant disagreement among Fed officials regarding future cuts, with 9 out of 19 officials expecting two more cuts in 2025, while others foresee no further reductions. Current U.S. economic data remains resilient, and Fed Chair Powell's cautious signals regarding rate cuts suggest a potentially complicated path ahead [3]. Supply-Side Policies - The impact of supply-side "anti-involution" policies is gradually becoming evident, with industrial profits rebounding in August. Year-on-year growth in industrial profits for August was 20.4%, improving from a -1.7% decline in July to a cumulative growth of 0.9%. The Producer Price Index (PPI) saw a narrowing decline of -2.9% year-on-year, marking the first contraction since March. This improvement is attributed to a low base effect and the gradual impact of supply-side policies, which have led to price increases in upstream commodities. The central bank has emphasized the challenges of insufficient domestic demand and low price levels, with recent policies aimed at boosting prices being implemented [3]. Structural Trends - In terms of structure, the technology sector is experiencing numerous catalysts, with high growth expectations for TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecommunications) sectors. The new wave of technological advancements driven by AI is accelerating across various fields. Key factors include the increasing clarity of domestic and international AI industry trends, rapid growth in the performance of leading companies, and a focus on hard technology and new production capabilities in upcoming policy meetings. Market consensus on profit expectations indicates high growth for growth sectors in 2025, including military electronics, software development, IT services, optical electronics, gaming, new energy, semiconductors, and communication equipment [3]. Liquidity Conditions - The liquidity situation in the A-share market remains ample. In August, non-bank deposits increased by 550 billion yuan year-on-year, and the M1-M2 negative differential continues to narrow, reflecting a positive impact on residents' risk appetite. Unlike the previous "structural bull" market from 2019 to 2021, where residents favored active funds, this bull market sees a preference for passive investment products. Since the fourth quarter of 2024, the net asset value of stock ETFs has rapidly expanded, with index funds consistently outpacing active equity funds for three consecutive quarters, further promoting the trend towards indexation in the industry. The central bank's monetary policy remains moderately accommodative, with funding rates trending downward and bank wealth management products yielding historically low returns, suggesting that micro liquidity in the A-share market is likely to remain ample in the fourth quarter [3].

Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: A-Share Multi-Dimensional Timing Model **Model Construction Idea**: The model evaluates the directional judgment of the A-share market using four dimensions: valuation, sentiment, capital, and technical indicators. Valuation and sentiment dimensions adopt a mean-reversion logic, while capital and technical dimensions use trend-following logic. The model combines these dimensions to provide a comprehensive view of market trends [2][9][15]. **Model Construction Process**: 1. The model uses the Wind All A Index as a proxy for the A-share market. 2. Each dimension generates daily signals with values of 0, ±1, representing neutral, bullish, or bearish views. 3. Valuation indicators include equity risk premium (ERP). 4. Sentiment indicators include option put-call ratio, implied volatility, and futures member position ratio. 5. Capital indicators include financing purchase amount. 6. Technical indicators include Bollinger Bands and the difference in the proportion of individual stock trading volume [11][15]. 7. The final multi-dimensional score is calculated as the sum of the scores from the four dimensions, determining the overall market view [9][15]. **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively captures market trends and provides actionable insights for timing decisions [9]. - **Model Name**: Style Timing Model **Model Construction Idea**: The model evaluates timing for dividend and size styles using trend-based indicators and crowding metrics [3][17][22]. **Model Construction Process**: 1. **Dividend Style Timing**: - The model uses three indicators: relative momentum of the CSI Dividend Index vs. CSI All Index, 10Y-1Y term spread, and interbank pledged repo transaction volume. - Each indicator generates daily signals with values of 0, ±1, representing neutral, bullish, or bearish views. - The final score is the sum of the three indicators, determining the overall view on dividend style [17][21]. 2. **Size Style Timing**: - The model uses the crowding degree of small-cap and large-cap styles, calculated based on momentum difference and trading volume ratio between the Wind Micro-Cap Index and CSI 300 Index. - Crowding degree is determined by averaging the top three results of six different window lengths for small-cap and large-cap styles. - High crowding is triggered when small-cap crowding exceeds 90% or large-cap crowding falls below 10%. - In high crowding zones, a small parameter double moving average model is used to capture short-term reversals. In low crowding zones, a large parameter double moving average model is used to follow medium- to long-term trends [22][24][26]. **Model Evaluation**: The model provides effective timing signals for style rotation, especially in different market conditions [22][24]. - **Model Name**: Industry Rotation Model **Model Construction Idea**: The model uses genetic programming to directly extract factors from industry index data, focusing on price-volume and valuation characteristics. It employs a dual-objective genetic programming approach to enhance factor diversity and reduce overfitting [4][29][32]. **Model Construction Process**: 1. The model uses 32 CITIC industry indices as underlying assets. 2. Factors are updated quarterly, and the model rebalances weekly. 3. The dual-objective genetic programming approach evaluates factors using |IC| and NDCG@5 metrics to assess monotonicity and performance of long positions. 4. Factors are combined using a greedy strategy and variance inflation factor to reduce collinearity. 5. The highest-weight factor is constructed as follows: - Perform cross-sectional regression of standardized monthly trading volume against the rolling 4-year percentile of price-to-book ratio (P/B). Take residuals as variable A. - Sum the smallest 9 values of variable A over the past 15 trading days to obtain variable B. - Standardize variable B using z-score, reverse values greater than 2.5, and sum the standardized values over the past 15 trading days [29][33][37]. **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively identifies industry rotation factors with strong monotonicity and performance, while reducing overfitting risks [29][33]. - **Model Name**: China Domestic All-Weather Enhanced Portfolio **Model Construction Idea**: The model adopts a macro factor risk parity framework, emphasizing risk diversification across underlying macro risk sources rather than asset classes. It actively allocates based on macro expectation momentum [5][38][41]. **Model Construction Process**: 1. **Macro Quadrant Division and Asset Selection**: Divide growth and inflation dimensions into four quadrants based on whether they exceed or fall short of expectations. Determine suitable assets for each quadrant using quantitative and qualitative methods. 2. **Quadrant Portfolio Construction and Risk Measurement**: Construct sub-portfolios with equal weights for assets within each quadrant, focusing on downside risk. 3. **Risk Budgeting Model for Quadrant Weights**: Adjust quadrant risk budgets monthly based on "quadrant views" derived from macro expectation momentum indicators, which consider buy-side expectation momentum and sell-side expectation deviation momentum [38][41]. **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively balances macro risks and enhances portfolio performance through active allocation [38][41]. --- Model Backtesting Results - **A-Share Multi-Dimensional Timing Model**: - Annualized Return: 25.23% - Maximum Drawdown: -28.46% - Sharpe Ratio: 1.17 - Calmar Ratio: 0.89 - Year-to-Date (YTD): 40.98% - Last Week's Return: 0.15% [14] - **Style Timing Model**: - **Dividend Style Timing**: - Annualized Return: 16.04% - Maximum Drawdown: -25.52% - Sharpe Ratio: 0.87 - Calmar Ratio: 0.63 - YTD: 21.75% - Last Week's Return: 0.23% [20] - **Size Style Timing**: - Annualized Return: 26.25% - Maximum Drawdown: -30.86% - Sharpe Ratio: 1.09 - Calmar Ratio: 0.85 - YTD: 65.89% - Last Week's Return: 1.07% [27] - **Industry Rotation Model**: - Annualized Return: 32.60% - Annualized Volatility: 17.95% - Sharpe Ratio: 1.82 - Maximum Drawdown: -19.63% - Calmar Ratio: 1.66 - Last Week's Return: 0.27% - YTD: 36.44% [32] - **China Domestic All-Weather Enhanced Portfolio**: - Annualized Return: 11.53% - Annualized Volatility: 6.16% - Sharpe Ratio: 1.87 - Maximum Drawdown: -6.30% - Calmar Ratio: 1.83 - Last Week's Return: 0.66% - YTD: 9.02% [42]
