How to view the dividend asset market in June of this year? Looking at the present, in the absence of new industry logic and significant market fluctuations, dividend assets may gradually enter a headwind period in June, with dividend ex-dividend dates for different individual stocks being important observation points. However, it is worth noting that for long-term investors, a headwind period may be a good entry point. Looking at the performance of major index portfolios, whether it is our constructed "Neutral Dividend" portfolio or the Dividend Total Return Index, both have shown a consistent upward trend. In the current context of high geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing China-US trade friction, dividend assets remain a solid choice for long-term allocation. In terms of high-frequency tracking indicators, tracking congested positions can also be used, with dividend assets being the only direction where the congestion bottom rule is more obvious. Taking the dividend index as an example, since the strengthening of dividend strategies in 2022, the bottom of the dividend index has remained relatively stable (trading volume ratio between 1.1%-1.2%). Whenever sentiment falls to this level, there is often an increase in fund allocation to dividend assets, resulting in significant excess return. For example, after experiencing a headwind period in February, the dividend index returned to this position at the end of March, followed by a significant increase in excess returns. Therefore, if sentiment declines or even returns to historical buying levels around dividend asset headwind periods, it is a good time to allocate funds.
