1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, a differentiated allocation strategy should be adopted for different credit products. For urban investment bonds, it is recommended to use short - duration bonds as the bottom position and select high - quality or high - quality transformation entities to extend the duration for higher returns. For industrial bonds, it is advisable to use high - quality central and state - owned enterprise industrial bonds as the bottom position and pay attention to the repair opportunities in industries or fields with marginal improvements. For secondary capital bonds, the yield of 5Y national and joint - stock secondary capital bonds has been centered around the average interest rate of 3 - and 5 - year time deposits of national banks since early 2020. Currently, the yield of 5Y national and joint - stock capital bonds is significantly higher than that of ordinary financial bonds, and the allocation value of capital bonds over 3Y should be emphasized. The implementation of punitive redemption rules may stabilize the scale of bond funds and narrow the spread of capital bonds [4][43]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 This Week's Credit Hot Events - On December 26, 2025, Tianan Life Insurance Co., Ltd. announced that the "15 Tianan Life" capital - supplementary bond could not be redeemed on schedule. After the default of Tianan Property Insurance's 5.3 billion yuan capital - supplementary bond in September 2025, Tianan Life's 2 billion yuan capital - supplementary bond also failed to be redeemed on schedule, breaking the market's perception of the "rigid payment" of insurance - related bonds. This may lead to direct principal and interest losses for bondholders, a shift in the market's evaluation of insurance capital bonds to a more in - depth consideration, an expansion of the credit spread of insurance capital bonds, and an intensification of the differentiation of tail - end entities. For the industry, the financing difficulty and cost of small and medium - sized insurance companies may increase, while large state - owned insurance companies still have advantages in financing, but the default events may also force the industry to enhance its solvency [9][10]. 3.2 Primary Market 3.2.1 Net Financing Scale - This week, the net financing of credit bonds (excluding asset - backed securities) was - 8.73 billion yuan, a decrease of 30.11 billion yuan compared with last week.
