A High-Dividend A-Share Strategy with Five-Day Rebalancing

Summary

This document describes a China A-share stock selection and portfolio strategy ranked primarily by dividend yield. It filters out suspended and risk-flagged stocks, applies market-cap, positive and relatively low price-to-earnings, and share-price constraints, then selects seven of the highest-yield candidates. The portfolio is fully invested and equally weighted, with rebalancing every five trading days at assumed opening prices and transaction fees included. The stated backtest runs from January 2020 to January 2026 and reports cumulative and annualized returns, Sharpe ratio, and maximum drawdown.

Those figures are the article’s reported results, not independently validated evidence. The description does not establish whether historical constituent data and financial information were handled without look-ahead or survivorship bias, or how dividends and execution slippage were modeled. It also identifies high-yield traps and sector concentration as concerns, and suggests adding payout-quality filters, industry controls, turnover limits, and portfolio risk management.

Key ideas

• The strategy ranks eligible A-shares mainly by dividend yield and selects seven stocks.
• It equally weights holdings and rebalances every five trading days using assumed opening prices.
• Market capitalization, valuation, price, trading status, and risk warnings constrain the stock universe.
• The article reports backtest performance, but the figures are not independently verified in the document.
• Dividend sustainability, sector exposure, turnover, and portfolio risk controls are identified as areas for improvement.
