China Equity Strategy
Who's buying the dividend stocks?

The high dividend yield strategy has greatly outperformed the broader market YTD.
From mid-July to early August, dividend stocks experienced some correction, as
momentum investors exited after receiving annual dividends. However, the strategy is
back in focus as market sentiment is once again subdued, evidenced by ADT of
Rmb560.6bn for the past week (vs Rmb942.7bn in 2023 and Rmb862.7bn in H124,
Figure 3). Given property activities are yet to fully stabilise and the modest consumption
recovery, we think the strategy could regain traction among investors in the low-yield
environment. Also, the strategy significantly overlaps with large-cap, defensive and SOE
factors. As the Nine-point Guideline stressed the people’s nature of capital market
and regulators/listcos have rolled out measures to boost dividend yields, we think
improving A-share investors' returns is a long-term theme (Figure 1).
!
The A-share market style shift usually hinges on changes in marginal net inflows or
outflows. We note active mutual funds’ total AUM fell by Rmb252.7bn in Q124 and
Rmb133.1bn in Q224 (Figure 5), so growth stocks where MFs have a significant weight
saw significant net outflows. Nevertheless, passive funds experienced significant AUM
expansion, especially the index fund products tracking large-cap blue chips. The CSI 300
Index ETF has received net inflows of Rmb450bn YTD (Figure 6). This has indirectly
pushed up the valuations of high-dividend yield value sectors with high weights in
indexes. In addition, insurers are buying dividend stocks. We estimate insurers’ money
flow into the stock market in H124 was Rmb454.8bn (Figure 8). Facing ‘negative spread’
and reinvestment risks, insurers prefer high-dividend yield stocks. In fact, yields on bonds
with a high-yield track record such as AA-rated 10-year corporate bonds and AA-rated
10-year local government financing vehicle (LGFV) bonds have slid to c2.55% recently.

In Q224, MFs raised their positions in high-dividend yield stocks (yields no less than 3%)
and value sectors as a % of total positions by 2.7ppt and 4.2ppt, respectively. In fact, the
defensive factor significantly overlaps with the value factor and the dividend strategy.
However, we note such strategies are not yet crowded. The position mix of MFs in high-
dividend yield stocks (Figure 11) and value sectors (Figure 12) was still 6-8ppt and 47ppt
below their historical highs, respectively. By sector, while the weight of coal and banks in
MF's positions increased over the past few quarters, they remain underweighted. Banks,
whose stock prices have recently risen, remain the most underweighted sector (Figure
14). We think the dividend strategy should remain as part of the core holdings in 2024
(see H224 A-share outlook), and this theme could deliver synergies with high-quality
SOE valuations re-rating.

In our note Mutual fund purchases and redemptions: Reasons, flow and outlook, we
analysed that mutual funds' (MF) returns tend to be a leading indicator of their fund-
raising performance. We divide MFs into active funds (including flexible, equity-oriented
hybrid and common stock funds) and passive funds (including index funds, except ETF
feeder and enhanced index funds). We find the two categories' performances have
diverged this year.
Active funds have been under redemption pressure due to the sluggish stock market,
which has increased the market pullback, creating a negative feedback loop. Such funds
have shrunk sharply this year in terms of units and AUM. Specifically, there were
decreases of 136.7bn/56.8bn units in Q124/Q224, with the Q124 decrease the largest
quarterly one in the past decade, except for Q315.
Measured by AUM, active funds had decreases of Rmb252.7/133.1bn in Q124/Q224.
While it was caused by decreasing units, to some extent, the AUM contraction in Q124-
Q224 was below the historical high. In our view, this relatively manageable contraction
reflected a limited drop in stocks, overweighted by active funds YTD, as there is a strong
correlationship between MFs' AUM and share price movement.

Source: Wind, UBS-S estimates. Note: Data as of June 2024.
Passive funds have clearly outperformed active ones amid a volatile market for the past
two years. In H124, passive funds had an increase of 207.7bn units and AUM expansion
of Rmb322.2bn. Particularly in Q124, their AUM rose a substantial Rmb311.3bn, the
largest quarterly gain in their history. Importantly, the substantial passive fund AUM
expansion mainly reflected investor pursuit of broad-based ETFs, especially those
tracking large-cap blue chips. YTD, the CSI 300 Index ETF has received net inflows of
Rmb450bn.
