Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: Convertible Bond Pricing Deviation Model **Construction Idea**: The model measures the valuation level of convertible bonds based on pricing deviation, defined as the difference between the market price and the theoretical price derived from the CCBA model[6][11] **Construction Process**: - Formula: $ Pricing\ Deviation = \frac{Convertible\ Bond\ Price}{CCBA\ Model\ Price} - 1 $ - Parameters: Convertible bond price represents the market price, and CCBA model price represents the theoretical price adjusted for redemption probability[6][11] **Evaluation**: The model effectively identifies high valuation levels in the convertible bond market, providing insights for timing and allocation strategies[6][11] - **Model Name**: Convertible Bond & Equity-Bond Rotation Strategy **Construction Idea**: The strategy allocates between convertible bonds and a 50% equity-50% bond portfolio based on valuation levels, aiming to achieve stable excess returns[9][11] **Construction Process**: - Formula: $ Z\ Value = \frac{Pricing\ Deviation}{3\ Year\ Standard\ Deviation} $ - Adjustments: Apply ±1.5 standard deviation truncation, divide by -1.5 to calculate the score, and determine convertible bond weight as $ Convertible\ Bond\ Weight = 50\% + 50\% \times Score $ - Remaining allocation is invested in the equity-bond portfolio[11] **Evaluation**: The strategy demonstrates stable excess returns during periods of undervaluation, while reducing exposure during overvaluation[11][15] Model Backtesting Results - **Convertible Bond Pricing Deviation Model**: Current pricing deviation is 4.92%, ranking at the 98.6% percentile since 2018[6][11] - **Convertible Bond & Equity-Bond Rotation Strategy**: - Annualized return: 9.7% - Excess return: 11.5% - Information ratio (IR): 2.00[11][15] Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods - **Factor Name**: CCB_out Pricing Deviation **Construction Idea**: Adjust the CCBA pricing model by incorporating delisting risk to refine valuation deviation[22] **Construction Process**: - Formula: $ Pricing\ Deviation = \frac{Convertible\ Bond\ Price}{CCB\_out\ Model\ Price} - 1 $ - Parameters: CCB_out model price includes adjustments for delisting risk[22] **Evaluation**: The factor enhances the accuracy of valuation deviation, supporting low-valuation strategies[22] - **Factor Name**: Stock Momentum **Construction Idea**: Combine stock momentum scores over 1, 3, and 6 months to identify high-momentum convertible bonds[25][28] **Construction Process**: - Formula: $ Momentum\ Score = Equal\ Weighted\ Average\ of\ 1, 3, 6\ Month\ Returns $ - Parameters: Historical stock returns over specified periods[25][28] **Evaluation**: The factor improves strategy elasticity and enhances returns during strong market trends[25][28] - **Factor Name**: Convertible Bond Turnover **Construction Idea**: Select convertible bonds with high trading activity to capture liquidity premiums[31][32] **Construction Process**: - Metrics: 5-day and 21-day turnover rates for convertible bonds and their underlying stocks - Formula: $ Turnover\ Ratio = \frac{Convertible\ Bond\ Turnover}{Stock\ Turnover} $ - Parameters: Turnover rates over specified periods[31][32] **Evaluation**: The factor effectively identifies active bonds, contributing to higher returns and lower risk[31][32] Factor Backtesting Results - **CCB_out Pricing Deviation**: - Annualized return: 22.3% - Excess return: 11.5% - IR: 2.00[22][25] - **Stock Momentum**: - Annualized return: 24.5% - Excess return: 13.5% - IR: 2.23[25][28] - **Convertible Bond Turnover**: - Annualized return: 25.0% - Excess return: 13.6% - IR: 2.16[31][32] Composite Strategies and Construction Methods - **Strategy Name**: Low Valuation Strategy **Construction Idea**: Select convertible bonds with the lowest valuation deviation across three market segments (low debt, balanced, high equity)[22] **Construction Process**: -
