Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The report discusses the structural changes in the financial markets, particularly focusing on the bond market and asset pricing logic in 2025, highlighting a significant shift in risk-adjusted returns across various asset classes [2][3][4]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Risk-Adjusted Returns Reversal**: In 2025, the performance of various asset classes led to a reversal in risk-adjusted returns, with cash-like assets such as short-term deposits showing a high downside risk ratio of 16.9%, becoming a safe haven. Conversely, low-volatility dividend strategies turned negative due to crowding effects and a globally high-volatility environment [2][4]. - **Decoupling of Funds and Securities**: The bond market experienced a fundamental change where the correlation between funds and securities dropped from a historical high of 0.772 to 0.047, indicating almost no relationship. This decoupling resulted in short-term bonds being constrained within their own region while long-term bonds were influenced by fiscal supply shocks and risk preferences [2][6]. - **Credit Bond Market Dynamics**: The credit bond market broke the traditional notion that high ratings equate to low risk. For instance, AAA-rated bonds and high-quality regions like Zhejiang and Jiangsu exhibited higher volatility compared to lower-rated varieties. This led to a significant divergence in Sharpe ratios within the credit bond market [2][7]. - **Investment Strategies for 2026**: The proposed strategies for 2026 include using 1-3 year credit bonds and short-term deposits as a foundation, while also investing in hard technology assets like tech ETFs. Long-term local government special bonds are suggested for hedging, creating a new core for fixed income and equity markets [4][8][9]. Other Important Insights - **Volatility in Hard Technology Assets**: Hard technology equity assets experienced over 25% annualized volatility but provided high-risk compensation, indicating a shift towards extreme defensive and offensive strategies in the market [3]. - **Sector-Specific High Sharpe Characteristics**: In the industrial bond sector, high Sharpe characteristics were primarily found in real estate and overcapacity sectors, which managed downside risks effectively despite previous negative perceptions [2][7]. - **Emerging Trends in Asset Classes**: The year 2025 marked the beginning of a layered volatility environment, moving away from simple directional bets to a more complex interplay between cash management assets and hard technology investments [3][4]. This summary encapsulates the critical insights and trends discussed in the conference call, providing a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape in the financial markets.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Last week, the bond market continued to adjust, with credit bond sentiment generally pessimistic and the adjustment amplitude greater than that of interest rates. The overall decline of credit bonds has exceeded the previous round of adjustment at the end of July, and some maturities have even exceeded the bear - flat stage at the end of February this year. Coupon assets have a certain cost - effectiveness [2][5][10][33]. - Currently, there are some opportunities to participate in 2 - 5 - year bank secondary capital bonds after adjustment. The sinking of weak - quality urban investment bonds with maturities of 1 - 3 years can continue to be participated in, and the riding income of varieties with a yield of more than 2.2% and a maturity of about 3 years is quite considerable. For ultra - long - term bonds, the yield has a certain cost - effectiveness after adjustment, but only allocation - type institutions are recommended to participate moderately [5][33]. - The second batch of science - innovation ETFs was listed last week, with enthusiastic subscription sentiment, which may become a marginal stabilizing force for the credit market. However, the boosting effect on the bond market is currently limited [30]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1 Bond Market Adjustment - In the first half of last week, the stock - bond "see - saw" effect was still evident, and the news of fund fee adjustment made the market sentiment sluggish, with yields rising continuously. The 10Y Treasury bond interest rate exceeded the phased top point of 1.80%. In the second half of the week, the expectation of the central bank restarting bond purchases increased, and yields recovered somewhat, but overall, it closed down for the whole week [2][10]. - Credit bonds weakened in sync with interest rates, and the decline of most maturities of credit bonds exceeded that of interest rates. The anti - decline attribute of credit bonds was weak in this long - lasting bear market [2][10]. - From September 8th to September 12th, 2025, the yields of 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y, and 5Y Treasury bonds increased by 0.4BP, 2.1BP, 1.0BP, 0.5BP, and 0.2BP respectively, while the yields of the same - maturity AAA medium - term notes increased by 3.8BP, 4.8BP, 6.2BP, 3.1BP, and 2.5BP respectively, and the yields of AA + medium - term notes increased by 4.8BP, 5.8BP, 6.2BP, 7.1BP, and 3.5BP respectively [10]. - The market of ultra - long - term credit bonds weakened synchronously, with the decline mostly exceeding that of the same - maturity interest - rate bonds.

The yields of 1 - 5 years, 7 years, and 10 years of AAA - bank secondary capital bonds increased by 6.09BP, 8.75BP, 9.97BP, 10.32BP, 9.71BP, 8.81BP, and 10.61BP respectively [16]. - Currently, the part of the curve with a maturity of 3 years and above is still 32BP - 42BP away from the lowest yield point since 2025. Compared with the sharp decline at the end of July, the yield points of maturities over 2 years have reached new highs, and the adjustment amplitude is higher than that of the sharp decline at the end of July. The yields of maturities over 4 years have even exceeded the bear - flat position at the end of February this year [3][16]. - In terms of active trading, the sentiment was the most pessimistic in the first half of the week and improved marginally in the second half, but overall, the short - selling force was stronger.

About 25% of the discount trading amplitudes were over 4BP last week [4][21]. - The market's willingness to buy ultra - long - term credit bonds was very weak. High - activity trading was mainly concentrated in some short - term real - estate and financial defective individual bonds, as well as weak - quality urban investment bonds. About 35% of the trading amplitudes below the valuation were over 4BP last week, mainly real - estate bonds such as Vanke and Longfor, and there were also central - enterprise bonds like AVIC Industry Finance, all of which were short - term. In addition, many weak - quality urban investment bonds, such as AA(2), AA, AA - with maturities of 2 - 5 years, also had relatively large trading amplitudes below the valuation [4][25]. 3.4 Institutional Behavior - Public funds significantly sold secondary perpetual bonds last week.

In addition, insurance and wealth management institutions net - bought 12.8 billion and 20.9 billion yuan of credit bonds respectively, mainly bonds with maturities within 3 years [4][27]. 3.5 Impact of Science - innovation ETFs - The second batch of science - innovation ETFs was listed last week, with enthusiastic subscription sentiment. On September 12th, the second batch of 14 science - innovation bond ETFs started to raise funds, and most products had good subscription situations. It is expected that the raised funds can exceed 40 billion yuan, and the product scale is expected to continue to grow this week, pushing up the valuation of component bonds [30]. - However, the boosting effect of the second batch of science - innovation ETFs on the bond market is currently limited. The performance of listed credit ETF products was average last week. The weekly -环比 scale of credit benchmark - making ETF products has shrunk for 4 consecutive weeks since the market adjustment in the second week of August, and the weekly -环比 scale of science - innovation ETF products last week was significantly weaker than that in August. The unit net values of the above two types of credit bond ETFs were still in the red last week [30].
