1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - Second - batch 14 science - innovation bond ETFs were launched, with a total of about 40 billion yuan in raised funds. The report analyzes their impact on index component bonds and the potential of component bonds [3][9]. - Despite the continuous adjustment of the bond market, the total scale of credit bond ETFs increased in August, reaching around 350 billion yuan. Science - innovation bond ETFs contributed most of the scale increment, while the scale of benchmark market - making credit bond ETFs declined [3][9]. - Since July 18, component bonds of various tenors and implicit ratings have been adjusted to different degrees. Shorter - term bonds are more resilient, and the longer the tenor, the greater the adjustment. There is a certain divergence among investors regarding the future market of component bonds [4][47]. - Based on the experience of benchmark market - making credit bond ETFs, the scale of ETFs has a significant impact on component bonds. The upcoming expansion of science - innovation bond ETFs will bring about 40 billion yuan in incremental funds, and component bonds of science - innovation bonds are more resilient than market - making component bonds. However, the excess return of current component bonds may be relatively limited [4][49]. - Considering that interest rates have risen to a stage high, after the listing of the second - batch science - innovation ETFs, the market demand has increased. Without unexpected shocks, the liquidity of component bonds is expected to remain good, and they can be allocated from a coupon - oriented perspective [6][50]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 How Have Credit Bond ETFs Performed Recently? - Despite the continuous adjustment of the bond market, the total scale of credit bond ETFs increased in August, currently around 350 billion yuan. Science - innovation bond ETFs contributed most of the scale increment, with a total increase of 27.8 billion yuan. The scale of benchmark market - making credit bond ETFs decreased by 10.7 billion yuan compared to July 18, while the scale of urban investment bond and corporate bond ETFs changed little, and the scale of short - term financing ETFs increased by 5.7 billion yuan [9][11]. - In terms of secondary - market trading activity, the turnover rates of market - making credit bond and science - innovation bond ETFs are in a fluctuating downward trend, with the current 7 - day moving average turnover rates around 20% and 30% respectively. The turnover rate of short - term financing ETFs has been rising, increasing from about 20% to over 50% since the second half of the year [11]. - Since the beginning of the year, among the indices tracked by credit bond ETFs, the Shanghai Urban Investment Bond index has the largest increase (1.53%), followed by the Shenzhen AAA Science - innovation Bond (1.40%) and the ChinaBond AAA Science - innovation Bond (1.24%) [15]. 3.2 How Have the Component Bonds of the Science - innovation Bond Index Performed? - Since the second half of the year, the performance of component bonds of the science - innovation bond index can be divided into three stages: rapid decline in valuation during the ETF application stage in June; intensified bond - grabbing market after the subscription ended on July 7, with component bond valuation inverting; and since the official listing of science - innovation bond ETFs on July 17, the excess spread of component bonds has oscillated and turned positive, showing signs of catch - up decline in the recent two weeks [17][19]. - From the perspective of low - valuation transactions and turnover rates, since the beginning of the year, science - innovation bonds have mostly had low - valuation transactions. After late July, high - valuation transactions occurred intensively, and the turnover rate continued to decline after August, indicating that investors have certain divergence regarding the future market of component bonds [4][17]. - As of September 12, high - grade component bonds of various tenors are still undervalued compared to medium - and short - term notes of the same tenor and rating. Since the bond market adjustment on July 18, component bonds of various tenors and implicit ratings have been adjusted to different degrees, with shorter - term bonds being more resilient [21]. 3.3 Will the Component Bonds Have Excess Performance? - For benchmark market - making credit bond ETFs, in the first quarter, the market was in adjustment, and the scale increased slowly. In the second quarter, the scale grew rapidly, and the excess spread of component bonds decreased significantly. After late July, the scale declined, and the excess spread of component bonds widened [25][26]. - The upcoming expansion of science - innovation bond ETFs will bring about 40 billion yuan in incremental funds, and the component bonds of science - innovation bonds are more resilient than market - making component bonds. However, the excess return of current component bonds may be relatively limited due to the weaker environment for credit spread compression in the fourth quarter, institutions' early "bond hoarding" in the second - batch, and the implementation of positive factors in the first - batch [4][32][49]. 3.4 How to Allocate Component Bonds in the Future? - As of September 12, 10 science - innovation bond ETFs hold a total of 636 individual bonds. Currently, science - innovation bond ETFs prefer component bonds with tenors of 2 - 3 years and 3 - 5 years, with the proportion of holdings in the balance of index component bonds being 12.3% and 10.3% respectively, and the overall portfolio duration ranging from 2.98 to 4.14 years [33]. - Since July 25, the weighted average remaining term of component bonds of science - innovation bond ETFs has shown an inverted V - shape. After the listing of ETFs, the duration was generally lengthened quickly, and then continued to decrease during the adjustment period, currently dropping to 3.73 years [39]. - Considering that interest rates have risen to a stage high, after the listing of the second - batch science - innovation ETFs, the market demand has increased. Without unexpected shocks, the liquidity of component bonds is expected to remain good, and they can be allocated from a coupon - oriented perspective [6][50]. 3.5 Summary - The second - batch 14 science - innovation bond ETFs were launched, with a total of about 40 billion yuan in raised funds. The report analyzes their impact on index component bonds and the potential of component bonds [46]. - Credit bond ETFs' scale increased in August, with science - innovation bond ETFs contributing most of the increment. The Shanghai Urban Investment Bond index had the largest increase since the beginning of the year [3][46]. - Since July 18, component bonds of science - innovation bonds have been adjusted, and there is divergence among investors regarding their future market. The excess return of component bonds may be limited, but they can be allocated from a coupon - oriented perspective [4][47][49].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not provide the industry investment rating. 2.

The bond market is expected to recover in the future, which may drive up the net value of credit - bond ETFs [2][3]. - In August 2025, the yields of the constituent bonds of listed credit - bond ETFs did not show obvious over - adjustment. Attention should be paid to the marginal impact that the listing of the second batch of science - innovation bond ETFs may bring [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Content 3.1 Performance in August 2025 - **Market Environment**: In August 2025, the equity market continued its strong performance, and the Shanghai Composite Index rose from 3,573 at the end of July to 3,858 on August 29. Affected by the stock - bond seesaw effect, the bond market declined, and the yield of the active 10 - year Treasury bond rose from around 1.71% at the end of July to 1.78% on August 29 [2]. - **Net Value Performance**: The average unit net value of science - innovation bond ETFs decreased by 0.26% compared with the end of last month, and all adjusted to below 100 yuan by the end of August. The average unit net value of benchmark - making credit - bond ETFs decreased by 0.23% compared with the end of last month [2]. - **Market Value and Circulating Shares**: The total market value and circulating shares of credit - bond ETFs were generally stable in August, and there was no large - scale primary redemption of ETF shares. By the end of August, the total market value of benchmark - making credit - bond ETFs was 126.2 billion yuan, and the circulating shares were 1.254 billion, both slightly decreasing from the end of last month. The total market value of science - innovation bonds was 120.2 billion yuan, and the circulating shares were 1.207 billion, showing a significant increase from the end of last month [2]. - **Discount Rate**: On August 18, affected by the strong performance of the equity market, the discount rate of benchmark - making credit - bond ETFs deepened to over 0.5%, and the discount rate of science - innovation bond ETFs exceeded 0.3%. By the end of August, the discount rate of benchmark - making credit - bond ETFs was 0.2%, and that of science - innovation bond ETFs was 0.06%, showing a large - scale repair compared with the deep discount on August 18 [2]. 3.2 Inclusion in the Repurchase Pledge Pool - As of the end of August 2025, 8 benchmark - making credit - bond ETFs and 10 science - innovation bond ETFs have been included in the exchange repurchase pledge pool. Holders can choose to finance through repurchase to obtain liquidity instead of directly redeeming ETF shares at the primary level, which can relieve the pressure of ETF share redemptions to some extent [2][3]. 3.3 Future Outlook - **Market Factors**: As of the end of August 2025, the total number of fixed - income wealth management products in the market was 40,605, with a total scale of 28.68 trillion yuan, an increase of 120 billion yuan from the end of July. In August, wealth management products net - bought 59.9 billion yuan of credit bonds in the inter - bank market, showing no signs of negative feedback from wealth management redemptions [2]. - **Yield Forecast**: Considering factors such as continuous central bank easing and the decline in bank liability costs, the report expects the yield of the 10 - year Treasury bond to be between 1.6% - 1.8% in the second half of the year, and the bond market is expected to recover, which may drive up the net value of credit - bond ETFs [2][3]. 3.4 Component Bond Yields and Market Impact - In August 2025, the yields of the constituent bonds of the CSI AAA science - innovation bond index and the Shanghai Stock Exchange benchmark - making corporate bond index mostly showed significant corrections, but compared with the maturity yields of medium - and short - term notes of ChinaBond (AA+), the yields of the index constituent bonds did not show obvious over - adjustment [3]. - On August 20, 14 fund companies collectively submitted applications for the second batch of science - innovation bond ETFs. Based on the impact of the first batch of science - innovation bond ETFs on the yields of constituent bonds after listing, the second batch may bring a downward trend in the spreads of constituent bonds at the initial stage of listing. It is recommended to pay attention to the allocation opportunities of medium - and short - duration science - innovation bond ETF constituent bonds [3].

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - This year, credit bond ETFs have attracted significant market attention, with active institutional trading and a structural rush to buy related index constituent bonds. Thirteen fund companies have collectively submitted applications for the second batch of Sci - tech Bond ETFs, which are expected to be listed in September. It is worth paying attention to the risks and opportunities of the related index constituent bonds [1][10]. - The short - term risk of significant over - decline of the Sci - tech Bond ETF index constituent bonds is relatively small. The new batch of Sci - tech Bond ETFs will bring new allocation funds, and the supply growth momentum has slowed down. After the second - batch listing, the excess spread of constituent bonds is unlikely to return to the high level in the first half of the year. The excess spread of constituent bonds is expected to further compress, but the space is limited. Some individual bonds' structural opportunities can be focused on [5][44][45]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Sci - tech Bond ETF and Related Constituent Bonds' Recent Market Performance - **Discount status**: Since mid - to late July, Sci - tech Bond ETFs have been in a discount state, with the discount rate mainly between 0.05% - 0.4%. Although there was some repair in early August and late August when the bond market sentiment improved marginally, they have not turned into a premium state. Similar ETFs also experienced discounts during previous bond market adjustments and then recovered [2][11]. - **Differentiated performance of short - term and long - term constituent bonds**: The excess spreads of 3 - year - within and 3 - 5 - year constituent bonds fluctuate with the bond market, with a larger amplitude than the same - term and same - grade medium - term notes. Currently, they are about 2 - 3BP higher than the previous low on average. The excess spread of over - 5 - year constituent bonds continued to narrow in August, but there was a catch - up decline at the end of the month. There is a need to pay attention to the possibility of further catch - up decline [3][14][16]. - **Adjustment amplitude comparison**: The recent adjustment amplitude of the underlying constituent bonds of the benchmark - making credit bond ETF index is slightly larger than that of the Sci - tech Bond ETF index constituent bonds. This may be due to the better liquidity of benchmark - making credit bond varieties and the fact that the listing of Sci - tech Bond ETFs has squeezed the allocation demand for benchmark - making credit bond ETFs to some extent [3][30]. 3.2 Recent Supply - Demand Structure of Index Constituent Bonds - **Supply side**: Since the introduction of the new Sci - tech Bond policy in May, the issuance of Sci - tech Bonds has been booming, and the scale has increased significantly. Although the recent issuance scale has declined, it remains at a relatively high level. As of the end of August, the balance of the constituent bonds of the CSI AAA Sci - tech Bond index was close to 1.25 trillion yuan, an increase of nearly 277.8 billion yuan compared to the end of April [32]. - **Demand side**: After the listing of Sci - tech Bond ETFs, the scale expanded rapidly, but the recent growth rate has been relatively flat. This may be because the yield of index constituent bonds has declined rapidly, reducing their cost - effectiveness, and the secondary - market credit ETFs are in a discount state during the recent bond market adjustment, weakening the primary - market subscription sentiment [4][35]. 3.3 Opportunities and Risks of Related Index Constituent Bonds after the Application for the Second Batch of Sci - tech Bond ETFs - **Tracking index types**: The second - batch Sci - tech Bond ETFs mainly track the CSI AAA, Shanghai Stock Exchange AAA, and Shenzhen Stock Exchange AAA Sci - tech Bond indexes, with 9, 3, and 1 fund respectively [39]. - **Expected listing time**: If referring to the application - approval process of the first batch, the second batch of Sci - tech Bond ETFs is expected to be issued and listed in September [41][43]. - **Opportunities and risks**: The short - term risk of significant over - decline of the index constituent bonds is small. The excess spread of constituent bonds is expected to further compress, but the space is limited. Attention can be paid to individual bonds with relatively high excess spread levels and large recent declines to seek potential excess returns [5][44][45].
