In terms of fund flows, the low volatility dividend ETF has been attracting long-term attention from investors. Over the past 5 trading days, net funds have flowed out by 380 million yuan, while over the past 20 trading days, net funds have flowed in by 1.58 billion yuan, and over the past 60 trading days, net funds have flowed in by 3.67 billion yuan. As of January 12, 2026, its circulating scale is 26.345 billion yuan. China Galaxy Securities pointed out that the spring market frenzy is still ongoing, with a need to pay attention to the support of basic fundamentals from annual performance forecasts and economic data, as well as the market confidence boost from policy expectations in the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan." With the market hitting new highs, short-term market volatility may increase, so it is recommended to seize structural opportunities. Sinolink Securities believes that the increase in trading volume reflects a rebound in risk appetite, with increasing bullish factors at the macro level and ample micro funding, as institutional funds from insurance and finance have already entered the market, and speculative funds are expected to follow suit. The focus of the spring market is on whether thematic trends can spread to low-performing industries, thereby driving the index upwards. Guosen Securities stated that in the context of slowing economic growth, companies that can sustain high growth are scarce, leading investors to prefer assets with higher certainty, benefiting the dividend strategy. This strategy has "bond-like" attributes, with a relatively high cost-effectiveness in a low interest rate environment, making it an opportune time to allocate assets in dividend-related products. As a stable tool for asset allocation in volatile markets, investors can participate through scheduled investment to smooth out volatility risks. Investors without stock accounts can also allocate through off-site linked funds.
