Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not mention the industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the second quarter, the stock and bond markets both performed well, boosting the expansion of the fund industry. Although bond funds face certain redemption pressure in the short term, the current internal economic momentum is weak, the logic of asset shortage continues, and the monetary policy guides sufficient liquidity.

It is expected that the scale of bond funds will continue to increase steadily in the third quarter, and the scale increase of equity - containing products may exceed that of the second quarter [6]. - The share and net asset value of the entire market's funds increased in the second quarter. The scale of bond funds increased significantly.

Among them, the performance of long - term bonds was better than that of short - term bonds, and the performance of hybrid second - tier bond funds was better than that of hybrid first - tier bond funds.
