Orient New Energy Vehicle Theme Mixed Fund may continue to rise in the future. Here is a detailed introduction to new energy vehicles: Power Source: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources, or use conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices, integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving to form vehicles with advanced technical principles. Classification: New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, and other new energy vehicles. License Plate: The special license plate for new energy vehicles is green with black characters and black borders. The new energy vehicle license plate is gradient green, while large new energy vehicle license plates are yellow-green dual-colored.

I have been observing the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry for a long time and feel that the Eastern New Energy Vehicle Mixed Fund is closely related to the industry's trends. Currently, policies are still encouraging the development of NEVs, but competition within the industry is becoming increasingly fierce, with new brands constantly emerging. Whether the fund can rise mainly depends on the performance of its holdings and market confidence. For example, the performance of leading stocks like CATL is crucial. In the short term, it is greatly affected by overall stock market fluctuations. In recent months, whenever the market adjusts, the fund follows with volatility. From a long-term perspective, I am still optimistic about the NEV sector, as replacing traditional fuel vehicles is a major trend. However, one must be mentally prepared for significant fluctuations along the way. I would choose to invest in batches rather than putting in too much at once, which helps maintain a steadier mindset.

I also invested in this fund and found over the past year that it has strong correlation with the new energy vehicle sector. It performs well when the overall market is up but drops sharply during downturns. Many factors influence its performance—besides corporate fundamentals, we need to monitor external factors like upstream material price fluctuations and -related news. While promotional policies are rolling out nationwide, consumer concerns about EV range remain unresolved, leading to slowing sales growth. Recent declines in lithium battery prices have dampened sector sentiment, but breakthroughs in autonomous driving tech could bring new opportunities. Timing is crucial for such thematic funds—cost averaging by building positions gradually and extending the investment horizon can mitigate risks. For a 3-5 year hold, I believe the current position offers a good entry point.

Over the years of conducting fund analysis, I've found that the performance of thematic funds primarily hinges on two factors: portfolio structure and fund manager capability. By reviewing quarterly reports, you can see this fund mainly invests in power manufacturers, automakers, and auto parts companies. When industry sentiment improves—for instance, when automakers report better-than-expected sales—the fund tends to rise. However, sector rotation happens quickly; recently, the AI concept attracted capital away. Additionally, the fund's rebalancing pace matters—I've observed similarly sized funds showing 15% performance gaps over three months. My personal advice: don't overweight new energy alone; balance with some consumer/healthcare exposure. Current valuations are mid-range, and a ~10% pullback could present an entry point.

When studying macroeconomics, it was found that new energy vehicle funds are particularly sensitive to impacts. Recently, the State Council executive meeting proposed stabilizing automobile consumption, and the extension of purchase tax exemptions is a positive signal. However, the complex international situation affects exports, and overseas automakers are also making efforts to catch up. We also need to keep an eye on interest rate changes, as the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike expectations may affect the valuation of growth stocks. Currently, the ChiNext Index is at a relatively low position, which may limit the upside potential of funds. I believe the third quarter is crucial, and it will depend on whether the July sales data can rebound. Ordinary investors are advised to participate through fixed investment methods, setting up automatic deductions of a few hundred yuan per week, which allows them to seize opportunities without buying at high points.

Investing in such funds requires special attention to risk control. Although the new energy vehicle industry has promising prospects, the competitive landscape changes too rapidly, and traditional automakers slow to transform will be eliminated. The fund's historical volatility is 30% higher than the broader market, with single-day fluctuations of 3% being quite common. I regularly check for changes in fund managers, as performance experienced fluctuations after a manager change two years ago. It's advisable to invest only with spare money, not exceeding 20% of your portfolio. Recently, I've noticed that the growth rate of new energy vehicle penetration slowed after reaching 35%, indicating a need for technological innovation to break through bottlenecks. If uncertain, consider investing in some top-performing funds in the same category for comparison, which may offer a better holding experience.
