Group 1: Report Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - Last week, the convertible bond market showed significant strength compared to the underlying stocks, with the central value of the conversion premium rate rising significantly and the conversion premium rate of 100 - yuan par value remaining stable.

However, the current position structure may lead to a callback risk that deviates from the equity rhythm [5][8]. - The capital support from the expansion of insurance funds and the transfer of household deposits still exists, and the allocation demand for "fixed - income +" products is resilient.

If the market further adjusts, high - quality bottom - position varieties with excessive decline will present a layout window. It is recommended to focus on band trading opportunities, shorten the holding period moderately, and strictly control the portfolio drawdown risk [5][8]. - Last week, the equity market fluctuated widely, with the market center moving down. Geopolitical conflicts and overseas stagflation expectations led to a sharp decline at the beginning of the week, followed by a rebound.
