In recent years, the pace of rotation among major asset classes has accelerated significantly, making it difficult to sustain outperformance by relying on a single asset or investment style. Consequently, market attention has notably increased towards diversified asset allocation strategies.
It is reported that the Huaan Yingtai Stable Selection 90-Day Holding Mixed FOF has recently been launched. This product utilizes the FOF structure to cover a diverse range of assets. Beyond equities and bonds, it incorporates overseas equities, commodities, and other asset classes to diversify risk and broaden sources of potential returns.
Markets ebb and flow, with their own cycles. Over the past two years, heightened global market volatility has underscored the value of multi-asset allocation. This approach can help disperse risks associated with single assets while capturing return opportunities across different markets, thereby improving a portfolio's risk-return profile. Harry Markowitz, a pioneer of modern portfolio theory and Nobel laureate in economics, famously emphasized that "diversification is the only free lunch in investing."
Transitioning from single-asset to multi-asset investing has become a more optimal solution, with FOFs serving as a crucial vehicle for implementing such diversified asset allocation. The newly launched Huaan Yingtai Stable Selection 90-Day Holding Mixed FOF reportedly operates using multi-asset and risk parity strategies, positioning itself as a low-volatility, stable multi-asset FOF.
The product aims for comprehensive asset coverage. In addition to stocks and bonds, it can invest in assets such as U.S. equities, Japanese equities, German equities, gold, soybean meal, silver, non-ferrous metals, U.S. Treasuries, and REITs.
The performance benchmark for the Huaan Yingtai Stable Selection 90-Day Holding Mixed FOF is set as: "ChinaBond Composite Total Return Index * 80% + CSI 300 Index * 5% + Hang Seng Index * 5% + Shanghai Gold Exchange Au99.99 Spot Contract Price * 5% + Demand Deposit Benchmark Rate * 5%".
In terms of investment strategy, the Huaan Yingtai Stable Selection 90-Day Holding Mixed FOF uses a risk parity quantitative model as its core framework to allocate across multiple assets. This is supplemented by a tactical satellite strategy for potential enhancement. The strategy anchors on low correlation, meticulously balancing the risk contribution of various asset classes. While maintaining a diversified and dispersed allocation, it seeks to capture upside potential while preparing defensively for short-term volatility.
Specifically, the risk parity model determines the allocation structure by calculating the positions required for each asset to contribute equally to portfolio risk, with monthly rebalancing to maintain this equilibrium. Concurrently, a satellite strategy is employed to further mitigate downside risks during extreme market events and capture return elasticity from more trend-driven upward opportunities, enhancing the portfolio's adaptability across different market environments.
The Huaan Yingtai Stable Selection 90-Day Holding Mixed FOF is to be managed by Yang Zhiyuan, who brings 14 years of experience in securities and fund management, including 7 years of public FOF investment experience. She possesses extensive capability in multi-asset analysis and practical portfolio management experience.
Furthermore, the Portfolio Investment Department at Huaan Fund will oversee the product's operation. It is understood that this team brings together professional investment research talent across multiple fields, with strong collaborative capabilities. Operating under a systematic asset management model, the team leverages strategic asset allocation proportions and tactical timing, allowing members to fully utilize their respective research strengths in equities, fixed income, commodities, and overseas markets, aiming to improve the product's risk-return profile.
