The above is some of the information on the US dollar bond ** that the author has recently sorted out, and I feel that it is not easy to obtain information in the process, so I will write a separate article to record the method of finding information.
At present, there are only two types of US dollar bonds** that mainland investors can buy with RMB: QDII or Mutual Recognition**. QDII** is mainly QDII bond type**, as well as QDII-FOF**, mutual recognition** is currently only Hong Kong mutual recognition**, therefore, can only be found from the Hong Kong mutual recognition of bonds**.
Each quarterly report for QDII Bonds** discloses the percentage of bonds**, as well as the top five bond holdings, as well as the ratings of the bond holdings.
Bond information can be found in domestic financial terminals such as Wind, Dongcai Choice, Flush iFind, etc. Bonds issued in Singapore, the United States and other regions cannot be found with the help of domestic financial terminals, and the Bloomberg terminal is an unreachable tool, so there is no choice but to find another way.
On the one hand, through the platform that can trade overseas ** varieties, such as a certain tiger **, a certain road** and other APPs that can also be operated in the mainland in the past few years, you can find some bond information on these, and it doesn't matter if you don't know the abbreviation, you can find it through the ISIN code.
On the other hand, by looking through a bond rating agency, generally speaking, the rating of the bond by the bond rating agency will be published on the official website. Most of the ratings of US dollar bonds are based on the three major international rating agencies - Moody's, Fitch and Standard & Poor's, which can be accessed normally in China.
Usually, the proportion of U.S. Treasury bonds in the top five holdings can be added up as the lower limit of the weight of U.S. Treasury bonds, and then, combined with 5Section 5 Bond Portfolios by Bond Credit Rating, speculating on the upper limit of the share of U.S. Treasuries. It should be noted that in general**, only one of the three major rating agencies will be used as the disclosure standard.
At present, only Fitch has rated US Treasuries as AA+, while S&P and Moody's remain AAA.
As in the above case, it is known that the top four holdings of bonds are U.S. Treasury bonds, and the fifth largest holdings are Chinese Treasury bonds, accounting for 42 AAA-rated bonds09%, the proportion of AA-rated bonds is 0, indicating that ** does not use Fitch's credit rating, the use of a high probability is Moody's or S&P's credit rating, domestic issuance of Chinese government bonds did not use the credit rating of the three major rating agencies, so the fifth largest bond holdings were identified as unrated. Therefore, the proportion of this ** US Treasury bond position is 2744%~42.09%。
In addition to the above information, it is also necessary to pay attention to when the US dollar bond began to be heavily positioned, which reflects the manager's investment timing thinking. The domestic QDII dollar bond base is actively managed**, and before this round of US dollar interest rate hikes, they rarely invested in US Treasury bonds, mainly in Chinese-funded US dollar bonds, at that time, Chinese-funded US dollar bonds were still similar to trusts.
On the one hand, the names of the top five bond holdings usually have a maturity date, and there are also cases where there is no maturity date information, which can only be checked through the two methods mentioned above.
It is only a rough judgment of duration to estimate the average remaining maturity time of the bonds held by combining the maturity of the heavy bonds, combined with the weights of these bonds. For more precision, the duration correction can also be made by the consistency of the change in the net value of the US dollar share with the change in the period of each maturity of US Treasury bonds (there are no short-term US Treasury bonds of less than 2 years**, but there are yields to maturity of US Treasury bonds of various maturities).
U.S. dollar bonds** is a relatively complex bond variety, and it is difficult for us to understand the bond information at the bottom of it, and in addition, there is an uncontrollable factor of exchange rate that has a greater impact on returns. It is possible that if we see the trend of US interest rates correctly, we will also suffer losses on the exchange rate and lose nothing.
Therefore, this variety is not very suitable for ordinary investors, and is more suitable for professional investment institutionsTiming assetsto grasp investment opportunities at a specific stage.
