Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: Quantitative Market Trend Judgment Framework **Model Construction Idea**: The model aims to identify the dominant market style by comparing asset characteristics and prioritizing superior assets based on their intrinsic attributes. It incorporates a bottom-up quantitative approach to analyze the lifecycle of industries and their corresponding asset styles[6][10][17] **Model Construction Process**: 1. Define five asset style stages: external growth, quality growth, quality dividend, value dividend, and bankruptcy value[6] 2. Use a priority framework of $g > ROE > D$ to evaluate assets based on growth expectations, profitability, and dividend yield[6][7] 3. Compare mainstream assets (expected growth, actual growth, and profitability) and secondary assets (quality dividend, value dividend, and bankruptcy value) based on their crowding levels and fundamental factors[10][17] 4. Allocate industries using equal weights within each strategy, selecting five industries per strategy per period[17] **Model Evaluation**: The framework has demonstrated strong explanatory power for A-share market style rotations since 2009, achieving an annualized return of 27.81%[17] Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods - **Factor Name**: Expected Growth ($gf$) **Factor Construction Idea**: Measures the expected growth rate of industries based on analysts' forecasts, regardless of the lifecycle stage[7] **Factor Construction Process**: 1.
