1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core View of the Report - Recent bond market fluctuations have slowed, with credit bonds performing slightly better than interest rate bonds, mainly driven by institutional allocation behavior. Banks' asset allocation has shifted from "bond - loan resonance" to "bond - substitution for loan", and credit bonds have become a key focus. Insurance funds are increasing their allocation of medium - and long - term credit bonds due to the dominance of dividend - paying insurance during the "good start" period. The continuous net inflow of funds at the liability end of funds supports the market of credit bonds and Tier 2 capital bonds. It is suggested to focus on 5 - year AA - rated medium - and short - term notes, AAA - and AA + commercial bank perpetual bonds, and explore the structural opportunities of credit bonds [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog Bank Bond - Loan Allocation: From Resonance to Substitution - Since the beginning of the year, large - scale banks' bond purchases have significantly exceeded market expectations, leading to a decline in the yields of 10 - year and 30 - year Treasury bonds. By reviewing the data from 2023 - 2025, it is found that the substitution effect of bond investment for credit lending in 2025 was more significant than in previous years. The bond - loan allocation behavior of banks can be summarized into three combination models: "strong in both bonds and loans", "weak in both bonds and loans", and "one rising while the other falling". The increase in credit bond allocation by banks has become a key way to make up for the asset gap and rebalance risk and return, and has also stabilized the credit bond market [17][21]. Insurance "Good Start" Funds Drive Credit Bond Allocation - Based on the structural characteristics of insurance premium income in 2025, the incremental demand for insurance funds to allocate credit bonds may continue to increase in 2026, with the "good start" funds being the main driving force. In 2025, the insurance industry's original insurance premium income reached 6.12 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 7.4%. In 2026, dividend - paying insurance products dominated the "good start" sales, which have higher requirements for investment returns and are expected to guide insurance funds to increase their allocation of credit bonds [25]. New Features of Insurance Allocation: The Development of Dividend - Paying Insurance Benefits Medium - and Long - Term Credit Bonds - At the beginning of 2026, insurance funds showed a clear maturity preference for credit bond allocation, with medium - and long - term credit bonds becoming the core of increased allocation. In the first two weeks of January, the net purchase of medium - and long - term credit bonds by insurance institutions accounted for 84% and 94% of the total net purchase of credit bonds. The planned annual increase in holdings of this type of bonds is 39%. This change is mainly driven by the transformation of the liability side. It is expected that the trend of increasing the allocation of medium - and long - term credit bonds by insurance in February 2026 will continue [30]. Tier 2 Capital Bonds: Funds and Insurance Show a Strong Allocation Pattern - Since the beginning of 2026, in the 6 - week period, the market for 3 - to 5 - year Tier 2 capital bonds has shown a pattern of "strong allocation by funds and insurance". Fund companies and products have maintained a high level of buying, with a cumulative net purchase of 759.85 billion yuan. Insurance funds have also strengthened their allocation, with a net purchase of 422.47 billion yuan. The demand for wealth - management products has been stable, with a net purchase of 40.45 billion yuan [37]. Which is Better: Urban Investment Bonds or Industrial Bonds? Based on Historical Price - Ratio Rules - The yields of urban investment bonds and industrial bonds of the same rating and maturity are not completely comparable. Referring to historical price - ratio rules, when the yield of AAA urban investment bonds is about 2bp higher than that of the same - maturity AAA industrial bonds, and when the yield of AA + urban investment bonds is about 2bp lower than that of the same - maturity AA + industrial bonds, it is a better allocation point. Industrial bonds show greater internal differentiation, while urban investment bonds have more convergent pricing. Different rating and maturity bonds have different allocation recommendations based on historical quantiles [40]. Variety Allocation Strategy: Explore Industrial Spreads and Focus on Interest Rate Defense - Considering the current spread quantiles, valuation levels, and market rotation rhythm, the recommended priority for next - week's credit bond allocation is: 5 - year AA - rated medium - and short - term notes > 5 - year AAA - commercial bank perpetual bonds > 5 - year AA + commercial bank perpetual bonds. The main reasons are that the 5 - year AA - rated medium - and short - term notes have obvious allocation value, the 5 - year China Development Bank bonds still have thick spread protection, and the 5 - year AAA - and AA + commercial bank perpetual bonds have room for performance due to the spread compression of medium - and long - term Tier 2 capital bonds [45].
