Since the beginning of the year, the overall market trend of A-shares has been turbulent, but the performance of dividend assets has been quite impressive, which is in sharp contrast with the market situation. Looking back, the strong performance of the dividend strategy has lasted for three years, which is relatively rare historically.

However, as the market strengthens, the excess winning rate drops significantly. (3) The current valuation of A-shares is at a historical bottom, and the market is expected to pick up as the internal and external policy environment improves. There may be periodic opportunities in finance. During the mid-term profit upturn period, White Horse’s growth is expected to be better. Pay attention to hard technologies such as electronics and medicine.
