Since October, A-shares have experienced volatile adjustments, growth sectors have come under pressure, market risk appetite has clearly contracted, and capital has actively rebalanced styles, with dividend sectors such as banking, coal, and oil & petrochemicals gaining momentum.
At the same time, uncertainty in the external environment has clearly escalated. Bank of America strategists explicitly recommended "tactical hedging" until mid-November, as the market needs to digest three layers of uncertainty: the U.S. midterm elections, French bond market turmoil, and AI financing risks. In the short term, U.S. equities and the dollar may face pressure, while the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield is expected to fall back toward 5%.

Investors should pay attention to relevant investment risks.)
On the interest rate environment front, the 10-year government bond yield has dropped to a historical low range near 1.64%, while high-dividend equity assets generally offer dividend yields of 4%-6%, with the spread between the two at a historically wide level. As the mid-year dividend window for banks opens, 21 listed banks plan to pay out a total of over 260 billion yuan in dividends. Long-term funds such as insurance are increasing allocations to high-dividend assets, and the certainty of cash flow returns from dividend assets is expected to become more prominent. (Data source: Wind, as of 26/10/23; The risk-return characteristics of investing in government bonds and investing in stocks are different. Investors should comprehensively consider investment risks when making investments.)
Regarding institutional views, Guosen Securities stated that as the year-end and beginning of the year approach, insurance funds may make early arrangements for next year's investment targets, and the dividend asset sector is expected to receive increased capital allocation. Combined with the market environment, the short-term adjustment may be nearing its end, though the recovery momentum may still need observation. Against this backdrop, dividend assets may continue to perform steadily. In the medium to long term, policies in recent years have continuously strengthened dividend payouts, and the enthusiasm and sustainability of dividend distributions by A-share listed companies have continued to improve. In a low interest rate environment, funds have a relatively high allocation demand for dividend assets. In addition, overseas disturbances may increase next year, and dividend assets may be worth attention.

Galaxy Securities recommends focusing on two major directions of the "barbell" strategy for allocation. One end is the oversold recovery opportunity in technology growth sectors, focusing on directions such as semiconductors, optical communications, and servers. At the same time, the logic of independent controllability in advanced semiconductor processes and high-end equipment may still exist, and from a liquidity perspective, innovative drugs may still be worth attention. The other end is the dividend core position, allocating to sectors such as finance, utilities, and coal.
