Overseas Institutions Turn Increasingly Bullish on China's Core Assets; Under Market Stabilization Mechanism, CSI 300 ETF Huatai-PineBridge (510300) Core Allocation Value Expected to Deepen Further

Deep News15:20

Entering November, volatility in overseas markets has intensified once again. On November 10 local time, the U.S. October CPI (Consumer Price Index) data was released, with core CPI holding at 0.3% month-over-month for a third consecutive month, breaking market expectations for continued disinflation. Rate hike expectations for the Federal Reserve quickly heated up, weighing on global equity valuations. At the same time, disagreements surrounding AI trading itself are also widening, with overseas tech stocks fluctuating at high levels and a growing willingness among funds to withdraw from a single narrative.

Against this backdrop of heightened global asset volatility and rising concerns over the overseas AI narrative, foreign institutions' assessment of China's core assets is shifting toward "structural bullishness." The head of BlackRock's China operations recently stated publicly that "from an asset allocation perspective, diversification is a long-term, unchanging need for global investors. High-quality Chinese assets have low correlation with overseas assets, and their economic cycles and growth drivers differ. The diversification effect is outstanding, and this allocation logic is sustainable." At the same time, several leading foreign investment banks including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and UBS have also密集 released views, actively turning bullish on the A-share market. Data shows that from October 1 to November 8, a total of 288 foreign institutions conducted 1,237 cumulative research visits, with focus areas concentrated on power grid equipment, energy storage, and other targets, mainly focusing on listed companies' earnings realization and the cost-effectiveness after valuation pullbacks.

The attention from foreign institutions is partly attributable to further reinforcement of top-level domestic policy deployment. On November 6, the State Council executive meeting proposed for the first time "improving the capital market stabilization mechanism," emphasizing the enhancement of the stock market's inherent stability and the promotion of steady and healthy capital market development. Supporting tools have also been rolled out at a tight pace: the relending program for stock buybacks and increased holdings has been converted into a long-term institutional arrangement, with the interest rate lowered to 1%, and banks have submitted quota applications to the central bank exceeding 200 billion yuan; the third batch of swap facility operations involved 31 securities firms and fund management companies, with intended declared quotas exceeding 100 billion yuan, and multiple brokerages have made clear that their winning quotas will be "fully put into use as soon as possible." This is another important deployment by the central government for the capital market following the recent密集 introduction of market stabilization policies by regulatory authorities, and is expected to further stabilize market expectations and boost investor confidence.

On the other hand, after continuous adjustments since July, the valuation and dividend yield of A-share core assets represented by the CSI 300 Index may have returned to an attractive range. Wind data shows that as of November 11, the CSI 300 Index's price-to-earnings ratio stood at 13.45 times, offering a certain undervaluation advantage compared with the Nasdaq Index (28.54 times) and S&P 500 Index (23.80 times) over the same period. In terms of dividend yield, the CSI 300 Index's latest dividend yield has risen to 3.00%, still offering a certain advantage relative to the 1.60% yield on 10-year government bonds.
