Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for Price-Volume Data **Model Construction Idea**: The model leverages convolutional neural networks to analyze standardized graphical representations of price-volume data, aiming to predict future price trends. The learned features are then mapped to specific industry theme indices[76][78] **Model Construction Process**: 1. Standardize price-volume data into graphical formats for each stock within a specific time window[76] 2. Train a convolutional neural network to extract features from these graphical representations[76] 3. Map the learned features to industry theme indices, such as dividend low-volatility, banking, and real estate indices[76][78] **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively identifies industry themes based on price-volume patterns, providing actionable insights for sector allocation[76][78] Model Backtesting Results - **CNN Model**: Latest theme configurations include the following indices: 1. CSI Dividend Low Volatility Index (h30269.CSI) 2. CSI Banking Index (399986.SZ) 3. CSI 800 Banking Index (h30022.CSI) 4. CSI Mainland Real Estate Theme Index (000948.CSI) 5. CSI 800 Real Estate Index (399965.SZ)[78] Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods - **Factor Name**: Macroeconomic Indicators **Factor Construction Idea**: Macroeconomic factors are used to assess their impact on asset returns by identifying trends and significant events in historical data[51][52] **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Track 25 domestic and international macroeconomic indicators, such as PMI, CPI, PPI, and M2 growth rates[52] 2. Define four types of macroeconomic events: short-term peaks/troughs, continuous up/down trends, historical highs/lows, and trend reversals[52] 3. Use historical moving averages to classify macroeconomic trends (e.g., 3-month, 12-month averages) and analyze their impact on asset returns over the next month[54] **Factor Evaluation**: The approach identifies effective macroeconomic events that significantly influence asset returns, providing a robust framework for market trend analysis[52][54] Factor Backtesting Results - **Macroeconomic Factors**: 1. PMI (3-month moving average): Positive outlook for equities[55] 2. Social Financing Stock YoY Growth (1-month moving average): Neutral outlook[55] 3. 10-Year Treasury Yield (12-month moving average): Neutral outlook[55] 4. Dollar Index (1-month moving average): Neutral outlook[55]
