Investment Strategy and Operation Analysis: Underweighting TMT Misses Tech Rally

The fund manager stated that in 2025, a quantitative multi-factor strategy was employed to construct a stock selection model based on dimensions such as profit growth and quality, favoring a conservative low-valuation style, with overweight positions in power and utilities, non-bank financials, and transportation sectors, while underweighting TMT-related industries. However, the main market theme in 2025 has been AI computing power, robotics, and innovative pharmaceuticals, with the CSI 500 Index rising by 30.39% for the year, and the fund’s deviation in industry allocation prevented it from fully enjoying the index’s upward benefits.

Manager’s Outlook: Increase Defensive Factors, Focus on Technological Self-Reliance and Strength

The manager believes that in 2026, external environmental uncertainties will remain high, with issues such as insufficient domestic demand and aging populations to be addressed, and technological self-reliance and strength will remain a major topic. As a quantitative index-enhanced product, they will increase exposure to defensive factors while optimizing industry deviations under the premise of controlling tracking error. Investors need to be cautious of liquidity risks arising from the continued shrinkage of the fund’s scale, as well as the effectiveness of the enhancement strategy given the long-term underperformance relative to benchmarks.
