Quantitative Models and Construction Methods 1. Model Name: A-Share Technical Scoring Model - **Model Construction Idea**: The model aims to fully explore technical information to depict market conditions, breaking down the abstract concept of "market state" into five dimensions: price, volume, volatility, trend, and crowding. It generates a comprehensive score ranging from -1 to +1 based on equal-weighted voting of signals from 10 selected indicators across these dimensions[9][14] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Select 10 effective market observation indicators across the five dimensions[14] 2. Generate long/short timing signals for each indicator individually 3. Aggregate the signals through equal-weighted voting to form a comprehensive score between -1 and +1[9] - **Model Evaluation**: The model provides a straightforward and timely way for investors to observe and understand the market[9] 2. Model Name: Style Timing Model (Small-Cap Crowding) - **Model Construction Idea**: The model uses a crowding-based trend approach to time large-cap and small-cap styles. Crowding is measured by the difference in momentum and trading volume ratios between small-cap and large-cap indices[3][20] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Calculate the momentum difference between the Wind Micro-Cap Index and the CSI 300 Index across 10/20/30/40/50/60-day windows 2. Compute the trading volume ratio between the two indices over the same windows 3. Derive crowding scores for small-cap and large-cap styles by averaging the highest and lowest quantiles of the above metrics, respectively 4. Combine the momentum and volume scores to obtain the final crowding score. A score above 90% indicates high small-cap crowding, while below 10% indicates high large-cap crowding[25] - **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively captures the dynamics of style crowding and provides actionable insights for timing decisions[20][25] 3. Model Name: Industry Rotation Model (Genetic Programming) - **Model Construction Idea**: The model applies genetic programming to directly extract factors from industry indices' price, volume, and valuation data, without relying on predefined scoring rules. It uses a dual-objective approach to optimize factor monotonicity and top-group performance[28][32][33] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Use NSGA-II algorithm to optimize two objectives: |IC| (information coefficient) and NDCG@5 (normalized discounted cumulative gain for top 5 groups) 2. Combine weakly collinear factors using a greedy strategy and variance inflation factor to form industry scores 3. Select the top 5 industries with the highest multi-factor scores for equal-weight allocation, rebalancing weekly[32][34] - **Model Evaluation**: The dual-objective genetic programming approach enhances factor diversity and reduces overfitting risks, making it a robust tool for industry rotation[32][34] 4. Model Name: China Domestic All-Weather Enhanced Portfolio - **Model Construction Idea**: The model adopts a macro-factor risk parity framework, emphasizing risk diversification across underlying macro risk sources rather than asset classes. It actively overweights favorable quadrants based on macro momentum[39][42] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Divide macro risks into four quadrants based on growth and inflation expectations: growth above/below expectations and inflation above/below expectations 2. Construct sub-portfolios within each quadrant using equal-weighted assets, focusing on downside risk 3. Adjust quadrant risk budgets monthly based on macro momentum indicators, which combine buy-side momentum from asset prices and sell-side momentum from economic forecast surprises[42] - **Model Evaluation**: The strategy effectively integrates macroeconomic insights into portfolio construction, achieving enhanced performance through active allocation adjustments[39][42] --- Model Backtesting Results 1.

Factor Name: Small-Cap Crowding Factor - **Factor Construction Idea**: Measures the crowding level of small-cap style based on momentum and trading volume differences between small-cap and large-cap indices[20][25] - **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Calculate momentum differences and trading volume ratios for multiple time windows 2. Derive crowding scores by averaging the highest and lowest quantiles of these metrics 3. Combine momentum and volume scores to obtain the final crowding score[25] 2. Factor Name: Industry Rotation Factor (Genetic Programming) - **Factor Construction Idea**: Extracts factors from industry indices using genetic programming, optimizing for monotonicity and top-group performance[32][34] - **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Perform cross-sectional regression of standardized daily trading volume against daily price gaps to obtain residuals (Variable A) 2. Identify the trading day with the highest standardized volume in the past 9 days (Variable B) 3. Conduct time-series regression of Variables A and B over the past 50 days to obtain intercepts (Variable C) 4.
