Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - If the new public offering sales regulations are implemented as per the draft for soliciting opinions, the cost - effectiveness of using traditional bond funds as liquidity management tools for institutional investors, especially wealth management products and bank proprietary trading, will be significantly weakened. Bond ETFs, outside the scope of the new fee reform and with advantages such as good liquidity and low trading costs, may become high - quality alternative tools for institutional liquidity management. The "new regulations" may drive institutional funds to migrate to credit - bond ETFs, bringing expansion opportunities for such products [2][5]. - The bond ETF market's scale slightly increased last week, with the increment mainly coming from credit - bond ETFs. As interest rates rise to a high - value level and institutional funds gradually enter the market, the bond market is expected to stop falling and rebound, which may drive the recovery of the bond ETF market. Additionally, with the upcoming implementation of the new public offering sales regulations and the bond market entering a volatile period, the potential value of bond ETFs as liquidity management and tactical allocation tools is expected to be re - evaluated by the market [2][45]. Summary by Directory 1. Sales New Regulations Impact: Credit - Bond ETF Incremental Funds Calculation - **Potential Scale of Migratable Funds**: - Approximate the scale of short - term pure - bond and passive index - type bond funds as the scale of bond funds held by wealth management products and bank proprietary trading for liquidity management. The combined proportion of short - term pure - bond and passive index - type bond funds under the heavy - position caliber of wealth management products and the affiliated - party holding caliber of bank proprietary trading is 28.9% and 10.1% respectively [9]. - Determine the proportion of credit - type bond funds in the short - term pure - bond and passive index - type bond funds held by wealth management and bank proprietary trading. The proportion of credit - type bond funds in short - term pure - bond and passive index - type bond funds under the heavy - position caliber of wealth management and the affiliated - party caliber of bank proprietary trading is 62.8% and 16.8% respectively, accounting for 18.1% and 1.7% of the total bond - fund scale held by each [11]. - Calculate the full - scale bond - fund scale held by wealth management products and bank proprietary trading. The estimated bond - fund holding scale of wealth management products and bank proprietary trading is 8496 billion yuan and 6927.1 billion yuan respectively. Based on this, the potential scale of migratable funds in the bond - type fund positions of wealth management products and bank proprietary trading under the full - scale is 1540.1 billion yuan and 1181.5 billion yuan respectively [21][22]. - **Actual Migrated Funds Calculation**: - Follow the "duration matching" principle. Part of the funds in the (0, 1], (1, 2], (2, 3], and (3, 4] duration intervals of credit - type short - term pure - bond and passive index - type bond funds held by wealth management products and bank proprietary trading will be transferred to credit - bond ETF products with similar duration intervals after the new regulations are implemented. - Set three scenarios: optimistic, neutral, and pessimistic, corresponding to 10%, 20%, and 50% of the fund migration ratio respectively. The incremental funds obtained by credit - bond ETFs in the optimistic, neutral, and pessimistic scenarios are 234.0 billion yuan, 467.9 billion yuan, and 1169.9 billion yuan respectively, with year - on - year increases of 4.7%, 9.3%, and 23.3% [33]. - **Market Capacity**: Even in the pessimistic scenario with the highest migration ratio, the incremental funds in each duration interval only account for 2.2%, 0.9%, 1.1%, and 0.4% of the corresponding index capacity. Existing credit - bond ETFs can absorb the potential fund migration caused by the new regulations without substantial constraints [42]. 2.

Core Insights - The announcement from the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration regarding the resumption of VAT on interest income from newly issued government bonds, local government bonds, and financial bonds starting August 8, 2025, is set to reshape the investment landscape in the bond market [1][2]. Policy Key Points - The effective date for the new tax policy is clearly defined: starting August 8, 2025, newly issued government bonds, local government bonds, and financial bonds will be subject to VAT, while previously issued bonds will remain tax-exempt [2]. - The definition of financial bonds is precise: it includes securities issued by financial institutions in the domestic interbank and exchange bond markets, which are held by financial institutions and have agreed-upon repayment terms [2]. - A differentiated tax rate structure is established: general taxpayers like banks will be taxed at 6%, asset management products will be taxed at a simplified rate of 3%, and individual investors will be exempt from tax on monthly interest income up to 100,000 yuan [2]. Public Fund Tax Advantages - The new policy enhances the competitive edge of public funds, as direct investments in bonds by banks, brokerages, and insurance companies will incur a 6% VAT, while public funds will benefit from a reduced tax rate of 3%, translating into a significant yield advantage [3]. - Existing bond ETFs that hold older bonds will enjoy tax-exempt status, potentially attracting new capital and driving up ETF prices, resulting in dual benefits of tax exemption and premium [3]. - There is an anticipated influx of new capital as institutions like bank wealth management products may increasingly channel investments through public funds to avoid higher tax rates, creating a strong capital absorption effect in the market [3]. Impact on Different Fund Types - Interest rate bond funds are expected to face pressure due to their high allocation to interest rate bonds (approximately 80% of interest income), leading to a projected decline in yields over the medium to long term [4]. - Credit bond funds will experience minimal impact from the new VAT policy, as their allocation to interest rate bonds is typically below 10%, resulting in minor yield fluctuations [4]. - Funds focused on older bonds issued before August 8 will benefit from tax exemption, making them highly attractive in the current market as a scarce investment option [4]. Investor Response Strategies - Investors in public funds should evaluate their bond portfolios, particularly if they are heavily invested in newly issued interest rate bonds, and consider switching to funds with a higher proportion of older bonds to mitigate yield risks [5]. - Given the limited impact of the new policy on credit bond funds, increasing allocations to these funds may be advisable, especially as the tax advantage for interest rate bonds diminishes [5]. - The declining post-tax yield of bonds highlights the investment value of high-dividend assets like bank stocks, which present significant post-tax yield advantages in the current low-interest-rate environment [5]. - The new policy also provides personal investors with a tax exemption opportunity, allowing monthly interest income up to 100,000 yuan to remain tax-free, effectively creating a substantial annual "interest tax exemption pool" of 1.2 million yuan per individual, which meets the needs of most retail investors [5]. Market Trends - As the August 8 deadline approaches, the yield curve is undergoing changes, with the 10-year government bond yield dipping below 1.7%, indicating increasing market interest in older bonds [6]. - Interest rate bond ETFs that focus on older bonds are likely to become a "tax haven" for institutional funds, while individual investors with monthly interest income below 100,000 yuan will also benefit from the tax exemption policy, gaining unexpected advantages from the tax reform [6].
