1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Views of the Report - In Q4 2025, the bond market valuation recovered, and the net asset value of the bond funds in the whole market stopped falling and rebounded. However, the "asset shortage" pattern continued, the yield of credit bonds declined again, and the supply of desirable medium - to - high - yield assets shrank. Against this background, bond funds actively explored returns in terms of variety and duration in Q4, while remaining relatively cautious about credit downgrading [5]. - From the overall situation of bond fund heavy - holdings, the return range was further compressed, and institutions tended to adopt conservative strategies. The yields of the heavy - holding bond issuers were highly concentrated in the low - return range below 1.8%, and the scale of high - yield assets above 2.5% continued to shrink [5]. - For heavy - holding of urban investment bonds, the regional level showed a downward trend, with a preference for short - term durations. Zhejiang and Jiangsu were still the core heavy - holding regions, but the allocation intensity decreased. Institutions' preference for regions such as Sichuan, Shanghai, and Hunan increased. In terms of term distribution, the scale of each province was mainly concentrated around 1 - year, and as the term lengthened, the holding preference converged significantly towards strong provinces [5]. - For heavy - holding of financial bonds, bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds dominated the allocation, and there was an obvious trend of variety downgrading. Financial bonds accounted for 72% of all heavy - holding credit bonds, with bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds as the core varieties, and the allocation was relatively concentrated in the medium - to - high - yield range of 2.0% - 2.5%. In terms of term, a dumbbell - shaped allocation was preferred [5]. - For heavy - holding of industrial bonds, the allocation was concentrated in core industries, and institutions were more cautious about real - estate bonds. Non - bank finance and public utilities were the top two industries in terms of total market value of holdings, and were significantly increased in holdings compared with the previous period. Industries such as real estate, transportation, and coal were significantly reduced in holdings [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Bond Fund Heavy - Holding Overview 3.1.1 Overall Situation - As of the end of Q4 2025, there were 3,993 bond - type funds in the whole market, with a total scale of 11.10 trillion yuan, an increase of 0.36 trillion yuan compared with the end of the previous quarter. Bond - type funds were mainly medium - and long - term pure - bond funds, presenting a structure characterized by "dominated by medium - and long - term pure - bond funds and supplemented by hybrid bond funds" [11]. 3.1.2 Credit Bond Heavy - Holding from a Return Perspective - Most bond funds had a stable investment style and tended to adopt relatively conservative investment strategies. The yields of heavy - holding bond issuers were highly concentrated in the range below 1.8%. The supply of high - yield assets continued to shrink, and the high - yield assets above 2.5% further contracted compared with Q3 2025 [19]. - In Q4, the "asset shortage" continued, and the yields of credit bonds declined again. The concentration range of heavy - holding bond yields shifted downward. Compared with Q3, the balance of heavy - holding bonds with issuer yields below 1.8% increased significantly, while the holding balances of heavy - holding bonds in the ranges of 1.8 - 2.0%, 2.0 - 2.5%, and above 2.5% decreased to varying degrees [19]. 3.1.3 Types of Bond Fund Heavy - Holding Bonds and Their Performance in Different Dimensions - In Q4 2025, bond fund heavy - holding bonds generally showed a configuration trend of low - return concentration and high - return contraction. Financial bonds dominated with over 540 billion yuan, with bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds as the core configuration. Industrial bonds tended to have medium - to - low returns, and urban investment bonds were concentrated in the 1.8% - 2.0% range [29]. - In terms of implicit rating distribution, financial and industrial bonds preferred high - rating issuers, while urban investment bonds showed an obvious downward trend. In Q4, incremental allocation was concentrated in high - rating bonds, and institutions were relatively cautious about credit downgrading [32]. 3.2 Characteristics of Urban Investment Bond Heavy - Holding 3.2.1 Regional and Hierarchical Characteristics of Heavy - Holding Urban Investment Bonds - In Q4 2025, the heavy - holding regions of urban investment bonds showed a certain downward trend, including prefecture - level cities in key provinces, district - level cities in non - key provinces, and park - level areas in municipalities. Zhejiang and Jiangsu were still the core heavy - holding regions, but the allocation intensity decreased. Institutions' preference for regions such as Sichuan, Shanghai, and Hunan increased [38]. 3.2.2 Term Characteristics of Heavy - Holding Urban Investment Bonds - Urban investment bonds generally preferred short - term durations. As the term lengthened, the holding preference converged significantly towards strong provinces. In Q4 2025, the term distribution of urban investment bond heavy - holdings was significantly differentiated, with the scale of each province mainly concentrated around 1 - year. The overall heavy - holding duration lengthened, but institutions were still cautious about ultra - long - term urban investment bonds [43]. 3.2.3 Analysis of the Top 20 Heavy - Holding Urban Investment Bond Issuers - The top 20 heavy - holding urban investment bond issuers in Q4 2025 were mainly medium - level prefecture - level platforms, with less obvious head - concentration characteristics. In Q4, the number of provincial - level platforms increased, and the degree of credit downgrading decreased. Some platforms were significantly reduced in holdings, while some provincial - level transportation platforms were increased in holdings [48]. 3.3 Overview of Financial Bond Heavy - Holding 3.3.1 Analysis of the Duration of Heavy - Holding Financial Bonds - Bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds were mainly heavy - held by national and joint - stock banks, with a dumbbell - shaped term configuration preference. Compared with Q3, institutions' preference for state - owned banks and 3 - year terms increased significantly. The heavy - holding scale of Tier 2 and perpetual bonds increased, with state - owned banks showing obvious increases in holdings.

State - owned banks generally increased their holdings, while joint - stock banks showed obvious differentiation. The yields of heavy - holding bonds generally declined rapidly, and there was significant differentiation in the remaining terms among issuers [61]. 3.4 Situation of Industrial Bond Heavy - Holding 3.4.1 Analysis of Heavy - Holding Industrial Bond Industries - Industrial bond allocation was still centered on industries with strong quasi - public attributes and industries with high financial relevance. Non - bank finance, public utilities, and transportation were the top three industries in terms of total market value of holdings. Non - bank finance and public utilities were significantly increased in holdings, while industries such as real estate, transportation, and coal were significantly reduced in holdings [71]. - Short - term duration varieties were still the main allocation. Most industries had a proportion of 0 - 2 - year terms exceeding 50%. Non - bank finance significantly lengthened the heavy - holding duration, while public utilities further increased the allocation of short - term duration bonds [72]. 3.4.2 Analysis of the Top 20 Heavy - Holding Industrial Bond Issuers - The top 20 heavy - holding industrial bond issuers were all central and local state - owned enterprises, mainly distributed in industries such as non - bank finance, public utilities, transportation, and coal. The allocation of industrial bond issuers was relatively concentrated. The average valuation yields of the top 20 heavy - holding industrial bond issuers generally declined, and there was significant differentiation in term changes among issuers [76]. 3.4.3 Analysis of the Top 10 Heavy - Holding Real - Estate Bond Issuers - State - owned and central - enterprise - affiliated real - estate bond issuers still occupied a core position. Some issuers were significantly increased in holdings, while some were significantly reduced in holdings. The real - estate bond allocation showed the characteristics of "medium - to - short - term duration + concentration on strong - credit issuers", and there was obvious differentiation in the return and duration strategies [79].

Group 1: Report Core Questions - The report addresses the following core questions: the scale and maturity distribution of exchange-traded corporate bonds, the scale proportion and rating distribution of different types of bond-issuing entities, and the debt continuation pressure of low- and medium-rated bond-issuing entities and the arbitrage opportunities between the primary and secondary markets [3] Group 2: Event Review - As of March 25, 2025, there were over 18,000 outstanding exchange-traded corporate bonds (including only public and private corporate bonds), with a total scale of approximately 16.48 trillion yuan. About 3.53 trillion yuan of normally outstanding bonds will mature in 2026, of which about 1.26 trillion yuan will mature in the first half of the year, potentially putting pressure on relevant entities for debt rollover [4] Group 3: Investment Highlights - 1.26 trillion yuan of exchange-traded corporate bonds will mature in the first half of 2026. As of March 25, 2026, the total outstanding scale of exchange-traded corporate bonds is about 16.48 trillion yuan. After excluding some bonds in abnormal credit status such as material default, extension, or triggering cross-default protection, the remaining normally outstanding corporate bonds are about 15.86 trillion yuan. About 3.53 trillion yuan will mature in 2026, accounting for about 22.2% of the outstanding amount, and 1.26 trillion yuan will mature before the end of June 2026, accounting for about 8.0% of the outstanding amount [5] - Brokerage bonds and industrial bonds are mainly of medium- and high-grade, while urban investment bonds have relatively lower average quality. In terms of bond types, exchange-traded corporate bonds are mainly divided into three categories: urban investment, industrial, and brokerage bonds. Among the outstanding bonds, urban investment bonds have the highest proportion, with a total scale of 7.42 trillion yuan, accounting for 46.8%. Industrial bonds follow, with a total scale of 5.37 trillion yuan, accounting for 33.8%. Brokerage bonds have a total scale of 3.07 trillion yuan, accounting for 19.4%. In terms of ratings, the outstanding scales of ChinaBond implied AA+ and AA ratings are both over 3 trillion yuan, accounting for 21.3% and 21.6% respectively. AA(2) accounts for 17.8%, and AAA and AAA- account for 16.8% and 14.1% respectively [5] - Attention should be paid to the maturity pressure of low- and medium-rated entities. It is estimated that about 1.64 trillion yuan of low- and medium-rated (AA and below) corporate bonds will mature in 2026, of which 596.1 billion yuan will mature in the first half of the year, and there may be some short-term debt continuation pressure, mainly from urban investment entities. Specifically, from the perspective of the entity, among the low- and medium-rated corporate bonds maturing in the first half of the year, over 400 billion yuan are from urban investment entities, and the total maturity pressure of the top 15 is 42.2 billion yuan. For industrial entities, the total maturity pressure of the top 15 is 50.2 billion yuan. Among brokerage entities, the maturity pressure of low- and medium-rated bonds is relatively small, with only 6 entities and a total scale of 17.2 billion yuan [5] Group 4: Overall View - In general, April is the peak period of maturity pressure for the whole year, and attention should be paid to the debt continuation ability of entities, especially for low- and medium-rated entities. Market sentiment and capital constraints will be key factors affecting bond issuance. For investors, while paying attention to the credit risks implied in the debt continuation of low- and medium-rated entities, they can also pay attention to the arbitrage opportunities between the primary and secondary markets caused by the deviation of the primary issuance coupon rate [6]

Credit spread database compilation instructions - The overall market credit spreads, commercial bank secondary and perpetual spreads, and urban investment/industrial perpetual bond credit spreads are calculated based on ChinaBond medium - and short - term notes and ChinaBond perpetual bonds data, with historical quantiles starting from the beginning of 2015. The credit spreads related to urban investment and industrial bonds are sorted and counted by Huafu Securities Research Institute, with historical quantiles starting from the beginning of 2015 [37]. - The credit spreads of industrial and urban investment individual bonds = the ChinaBond valuation (exercise) of individual bonds - the yield to maturity of the same - term China Development Bank bonds (calculated by linear interpolation method), and finally the credit spreads of the industry or regional urban investment are obtained by the arithmetic average method. The excess spreads of bank secondary capital bonds/perpetual bonds = the credit spreads of bank secondary capital bonds/perpetual bonds - the credit spreads of bank ordinary bonds of the same grade and term. The excess spreads of industrial/urban investment perpetual bonds = the credit spreads of industrial/urban investment perpetual bonds - the credit spreads of medium - and short - term notes of the same grade and term [39]. - Sample screening criteria: Both industrial and urban investment bonds select medium - term notes and public - offering corporate bonds as samples, and exclude guaranteed bonds and perpetual bonds. If the remaining term of an individual bond is less than 0.5 years or more than 5 years, it will be excluded from the statistical sample. Industrial and urban investment bonds are all externally - rated by the issuer, while commercial banks use ChinaBond implicit bond ratings [39].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating of the Industry The report does not mention the investment rating of the industry. 2. Core Viewpoints - The core contradiction has switched, and the balance of asset allocation continues. Bonds have entered a "sell on every rally" time window, and the interest rate curve is steepening [39][43]. - Pay attention to the potential impact of supply - demand pattern changes on the credit bond market. In the second quarter, focus on the potential incremental demand for credit bonds [3][45]. - Currently, the valuation of credit bonds may not be highly cost - effective, but the potential adjustment pressure is relatively controllable. Credit bonds will follow the adjustment rather than over - adjust [4][162]. - The credit strategy is to shift from reducing duration to controlling duration and from a defensive to an offensive stance [4][193]. 3. Summary by Directory 2026 Market Review - **Primary Market**: In 2026Q1 (as of March 15), the issuance and net supply of traditional credit bonds decreased quarter - on - quarter. Bank secondary perpetual bonds had no new issuance, and net financing turned negative. For traditional credit bonds, the issuance and net financing were 2428.1 billion yuan and 773.5 billion yuan respectively, with a slight decrease in net supply. For bank secondary perpetual bonds, there was no new issuance, 4.76 billion yuan of maturities, and negative net financing [8][15][31]. - **Secondary Market**: In Q1, credit bond yields declined across the board, and credit spreads mostly narrowed. In January, credit bonds strengthened; in February, the market oscillated; since March, the bond market has weakened, but credit bonds have shown resilience. Yields of various maturities decreased, and credit spreads mostly narrowed, with short - term secondary perpetual bonds having the largest narrowing amplitude [18][19][31]. 2026 March - May Market Outlook - **Bond Market Transition**: The core contradiction in the bond market has switched. Bonds have entered a "sell on every rally" time window, and the interest rate curve is steepening. The 10 - year Treasury yield may range from 1.77% to 1.95%, with a possibility of breaking above 1.9%. It is recommended to be cautious about long - term and ultra - long - term assets [39][43]. - **Supply - Demand Pattern**: - **Supply**: For general credit bonds, urban investment bonds have net inflows, and industrial bond supply remains strong. For financial bonds, there has been no new issuance of secondary perpetual bonds this year, and the supply of ordinary securities firm bonds has increased, but these extreme structural features are not sustainable [67][76][224]. - **Demand**: - **Wealth Management**: The scale was stable in Q1, with seasonal balance - sheet return pressure in March. The scale is expected to grow seasonally in Q2, and the demand is mainly for medium - and short - term bonds [82]. - **Funds**: The scale and structure of amortized cost bond funds are changing. Pay attention to the potential increment of "fixed - income +" funds, and credit bond ETFs may still have an impulse to increase volume at the end of the quarter [86][101][129]. - **Insurance**: The proportion of dividend - paying insurance in the insurance liability side has increased, and the demand for long - term bonds has decreased. The direct investment in credit bonds is strong, but the buying power has weakened marginally [138][141]. - **Other Potential Changes**: The credit spreads of ultra - long - term credit bonds with maturities over 5 years have declined, but the trading desks are still cautious. The optimization of inter - bank rules promotes the launch of science and technology innovation bond indices and index products, and there are potential opportunities in inter - bank science and technology innovation bonds [144][148][159]. - **Valuation and Adjustment Pressure**: Currently, the valuation of credit bonds may not be highly cost - effective, but the potential adjustment pressure is relatively controllable. Historically, when long - term interest rates rise and the 10 - 1Y term spread widens, credit spreads do not necessarily widen. In March, spreads may oscillate weakly, and there may be market opportunities from April to May [162][178][185]. - **Credit Strategy**: - **General Strategy**: In March, gradually switch from medium - term (3 - 5 years) to medium - and short - term (around 3 years) bonds, and from high - elasticity, low - safety - cushion varieties to low - elasticity, certain - safety - cushion varieties. Actively seize potential credit market opportunities from April to May while keeping the duration in check [193]. - **Urban Investment Bonds**: For bonds with a maturity of less than 3 years, increase returns through credit enhancement; for bonds with a maturity of more than 3 years, increase positions on dips [197][201][203]. - **Industrial Bonds**: Control the duration and focus on carry trades [207][212][213]. - **Bank Secondary Perpetual Bonds**: Generally, be cautious and wait and see. Pay attention to the participation opportunities of medium - and short - term secondary perpetual bonds of small and medium - sized banks [220][223].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no mention of the industry investment rating in the provided report. 2. Core Viewpoint of the Report - This week (March 9 - March 13), credit bond yields declined, but the repair amplitude was smaller than that of interest - rate bonds, and credit spreads widened passively. The February inflation and January - February import and export data released this week disturbed market expectations. Due to the rebound in February CPI and January - February import and export data, market concerns about inflation pressure increased, and bond market sentiment weakened temporarily. Meanwhile, the overall capital environment was stable, the fluctuation of money market interest rates was limited, which provided a certain buffer for the bond market. The equity market is still in a volatile range, and the overall risk preference has not changed much, so its impact on the bond market is relatively limited [2][11]. - Currently, the yield curve forms a relatively obvious convex point around the 4 - year term. Institutions with relatively stable liability ends can pay attention to the riding value of 4 - year bonds. In the scenario where the yield curve rises by 20BP, 4 - year AA - rated medium - short notes, 4 - year AA and AA(2) - rated urban investment bonds, and 4 - year AAA - and AA + - rated bank perpetual bonds are expected to maintain positive returns or only have small drawdowns during the holding period, with relatively strong anti - volatility ability. For 7 - year urban investment bonds, caution should be exercised, and for 7 - year secondary perpetual bonds, allocation - type funds can choose the opportunity to layout after market adjustments [13][14]. - The issuance of secondary capital bonds and perpetual bonds has obvious seasonal characteristics. Although there is still a high maturity and redemption scale of secondary perpetual bonds this year, and the renewal demand still exists, in the context of the continuous expansion of capital replenishment channels, commercial banks' dependence on secondary perpetual bonds has decreased, and the overall future supply scale may decline [17][18]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1. Focus on Convex Point Riding, and the Supply of Secondary Perpetual Bonds May Decline - Market situation: This week, credit bond yields declined, but the repair amplitude was smaller than that of interest - rate bonds, and credit spreads widened passively. The February inflation and January - February import and export data disturbed market expectations, and bond market sentiment weakened temporarily. The equity market was in a volatile range, and its impact on the bond market was relatively limited [2][11]. - Investment strategy: The current yield curve forms a convex point around the 4 - year term. In the case of a 3 - month holding period and the curve shape remaining unchanged, the holding - period returns of 4 - year bonds are generally higher than those of 5 - year bonds of the same rating. Institutions with relatively stable liability ends can pay attention to their riding value. In the scenario where the yield curve rises by 20BP, 4 - year AA - rated medium - short notes, 4 - year AA and AA(2) - rated urban investment bonds, and 4 - year AAA - and AA + - rated bank perpetual bonds have relatively strong anti - volatility ability. For 7 - year urban investment bonds, caution should be exercised, and for 7 - year secondary perpetual bonds, allocation - type funds can choose the opportunity to layout after market adjustments [13][14]. - Supply situation: The issuance of secondary capital bonds and perpetual bonds has obvious seasonal characteristics. This year, secondary perpetual bonds are still in a peak maturity stage, with an expected annual maturity and redemption scale of about 1.18 trillion yuan, and banks still have a certain renewal demand. However, in the long - term, the net financing scale of secondary perpetual bonds has been declining in recent years. With the diversification of bank capital replenishment channels, the dependence of commercial banks on secondary perpetual bonds has decreased, and the future supply scale may decline [17][18]. 3.2.
