Quantitative Models and Construction Methods 1. Model Name: Dividend Point Estimation Model - **Model Construction Idea**: The model aims to estimate the dividend points of index futures by considering the impact of component stock dividends on the index points[12][43]. - **Model Construction Process**: 1. **Component Stock Weight**: Adjust the weight of component stocks from non-precise estimation to precise acquisition using daily closing weight data provided by the China Securities Index Company[49][50]. 2. **Net Profit Prediction**: Use a dynamic prediction method based on historical net profit distribution. For companies with stable profit distribution, predict according to historical patterns; for those with unstable distribution, use the previous year's profit as the prediction value[51][53]. 3. **Dividend Payout Ratio Prediction**: Use historical dividend payout ratios to estimate the current year's ratio. If the company paid dividends last year, use last year's ratio; if not, use the average of the past three years[54][57]. 4. **Ex-Dividend Date Prediction**: Predict the ex-dividend date based on the stability of the interval days between the announcement and the ex-dividend date in the past three years. If the interval is stable, use the average interval for linear extrapolation; otherwise, use a default date[55][60]. 5. **Formula**: $$ \text{Dividend Points} = \sum_{n=1}^{N} \left( \frac{\text{Component Stock Dividend Amount}}{\text{Component Stock Total Market Value}} \times \text{Component Stock Weight} \times \text{Index Closing Price} \right) $$ where the ex-dividend date should be greater than the current date and less than or equal to the index futures contract expiration date[43]. - **Model Evaluation**: The model shows high accuracy in predicting the dividend points for major indices like the SSE 50 and CSI 300, with errors generally within 5 points. For the CSI 500 and CSI 1000 indices, the prediction error is slightly larger but still stable within 10 points[61][65]. Model Backtesting Results - **SSE 50 Index Futures**: The predicted dividend points closely match the actual dividend points, with minor deviations observed in 2024 and 2025[68][69]. - **CSI 300 Index Futures**: The model accurately predicts the dividend points, with the actual points aligning well with the predictions for both 2024 and 2025[70][73]. - **CSI 500 Index Futures**: The prediction accuracy is slightly lower compared to the SSE 50 and CSI 300, but the model still performs well with deviations within acceptable ranges[74][76]. - **CSI 1000 Index Futures**: Similar to the CSI 500, the model's predictions are reasonably accurate, with deviations observed but within a manageable range[77][78]. Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods 1. Factor Name: Dividend Yield Factor - **Factor Construction Idea**: The factor is constructed to capture the dividend yield of stocks, which is calculated as the dividend amount divided by the current market value[2][15]. - **Factor Construction Process**: 1. **Data Collection**: Gather the dividend plans and current market values of stocks that have disclosed their dividend plans[2][15]. 2. **Calculation**: Compute the dividend yield for each stock using the formula: $$ \text{Dividend Yield} = \frac{\text{Dividend Amount}}{\text{Current Market Value}} $$ - **Factor Evaluation**: The dividend yield factor is effective in identifying stocks with high dividend yields, with the banking, coal, and steel industries ranking the highest in terms of dividend yield[2][15]. Factor Backtesting Results - **Dividend Yield Factor**: The factor shows that the banking, coal, and steel industries have the highest median dividend yields among the disclosed dividend plans[2][15].
