Huatai-PB: The divergence in market styles observed in March saw a gradual easing, with large and small caps finishing close to each other and the CSI 300 index marginally declining. In the near term, market participants are focused on the impact of tariffs, with the export chain experiencing greater challenges, while the domestic demand sector is poised to benefit from policy hedges. On balance, despite heightened geo-political uncertainty, the current opportunity to add to the CSI 300 index may offer relative returns in terms of style, given that the underlying narrative remains unchanged.

Harvest Fund: In February 2025, the official manufacturing PMI rebounded to 50.2%, once again above the boom bust line. The rebound in PMI in February was mainly due to factors such as resuming work and production after the Spring Festival and policy support. Since the end of September 2024, policies have been continuously implemented, including reserve requirement ratio cuts, interest rate cuts, lowering the interest rates of existing housing loans, lowering the down payment ratio for second homes, and facilitating swaps. In addition, the press conference of the Ministry of Finance in October sent positive signals to the market, such as the central government still having a large borrowing space and room for deficit increase. The political bureau meeting in December 2024 and the central economic work statement continue to follow the previous tone. Currently, policies have gradually been implemented, and the macro economy is expected to continue to recover, which will help to enhance market sentiment and investor risk appetite. As the core asset of the A-share market, the CSI 300 Index is expected to fully benefit, with significant allocation value. (04/03/2025)

Guotai Fund: From the supply perspective, the market supply of finishing pigs is increasing, while as temperatures rise, demand for finishing pigs may weaken, leading the hog farming industry to enter a phase dominated by capacity rationalization. Looking ahead, under the scenario of sustained low hog prices in 2025, the ease of subsequent capacity rationalization may increase again, and long-term capacity is expected to continue adjusting through fluctuations. With sector valuation currently at relatively low levels, the value of the hog farming sector is becoming increasingly evident. (02/04/2025)

Guotai Fund: The 2025 Government Work Report indicates that this year's key priorities include "vigorously boosting consumption, improving investment efficiency, and comprehensively expanding domestic demand." Economic policies will focus on improving people's livelihoods and stimulating consumption, while accelerating efforts to address weaknesses in domestic demand - particularly in consumption. The central government has earmarked 300 billion yuan in special treasury bonds to support consumer goods trade - in programs. As local governments implement 2025 home appliance trade - in policies, this initiative is expected to provide a significant boost to household appliance consumption. (02/04/2025)

China AMC: 科创板2021年来深度调整,估值经历了长期大幅下行周期后风险释放较充分,整体估值处于偏低位置。科创板是“国九条”指导下新质生产力的代表,是政策支持与产业升级的重点领域,叠加近期在关税扰动和科技“卡脖子”背景下,具备技术壁垒和国产替代确定性的硬科技板块或成为短期资金避风港,且受全球宏观下行实质性影响最小。(08/04/2025)

Harvest Fund: Against the backdrop of industry cycle recovery, policy dividends release, and deepening domestic substitution, the medium - and long-term growth space for SSE STAR Chip Index is clear. However, at the current stage, there are various problems with the sector, such as overvaluation, capital games, external disturbances, and uncertain market environment, which may significantly exacerbate short-term fluctuations. From a fundamental perspective, on the one hand, chips in the next 25 years will benefit from the performance recovery of traditional sectors such as storage, simulation, and microprocessors. On the other hand, the deepening of AI applications will also drive the explosion of new growth demand in the entire chip sector. Moreover, the opportunities for AI growth in the next 25 years are not overly concentrated in the field of computing chips as in the past two years. There is a possibility of an explosion in AI hardware in the next 25 years, which will drive the growth of the entire sector from the underlying consumer electronics product attributes. Therefore, there may be some short-term fluctuations in the chip sector. From a full year perspective, the investment value of SSE STAR Chip Index is significant and deserves special attention.

China AMC: 海内外巨头纷纷布局,人形机器人政策不断加码,叠加技术突破,关键技术与产业化加速。2025 年以DeepSeek为代表的大模型开源趋势加快,机器人成本与壁垒降低,应用终端百花齐放。在老龄化与人力成本推动下,人形机器人性价比凸显、需求增长,有望成为新兴产业。关税问题影响短期风险偏好,而机器人技术对于一国制造业成本与效率的长期影响将使得机器人产业的重要性更加凸显。(08/04/2025)

Guotai Fund: Benefiting from increased market activity and improved investment returns, the fundamentals of the securities industry have strengthened. Looking ahead, as domestic and foreign institutions increasingly express optimism or revise upwards their expectations for China's economy and markets, market activity and the sustainability of market momentum are expected to be maintained. Additionally, government policies encouraging mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within the industry may emerge as a key investment theme throughout the year. (02/04/2025)
