[Brokerage Focus] China Securities Co.,Ltd.: The logic of dividend asset allocation is expected to continue and may enhance the long-term investment performance of insurance companies.

Jinwu Financial News | China Securities Co.,Ltd. Research Reports indicate that on April 8, the Financial Supervisory Commission issued a notice regarding adjustments to the regulatory ratio of Insurance funds' equity assets. The notice raises the upper limit for equity asset investment ratios by 5 percentage points for insurance companies with comprehensive solvency ratios of 150%-200%, 250%-300%, and above 350%, thereby broadening their equity investment space. In the context of declining long-term interest rates and insufficient high-quality non-standard supply, it is reasonable for insurance funds to increase their allocation to equity assets to enhance long-term returns, with high dividend strategies potentially becoming an important allocation direction. In the long run, insurance companies need to promote liabilities.
