苏罡解释称，对于保险资金来说，权益资产的投资比例是资产负债管理模型的重要部分，需要考虑偿付 能力这一约束性前提以及兼顾年度财务绩效的稳定性等。"权益配置比例实际上是稀缺资源，因为这需 要消耗偿付能力，也需要应对未来可能的回撤风险。"苏罡说，因此需要调整到更好的资产结构，来实 现资产负债两端的长期可持续平衡。 但值得一提的是，保持权益资产配置比例的稳定并不等于不会加仓股市。由于保险负债端会源源不断产 生新的保费收入，即使权益资产配置比例不变，在绝对值上也意味着需要进行大量的新增配置。 中报数据显示，中国太保的核心权益资产（股票+权益型基金）截至今年上半年末的比例为11.8%，较 去年末增长0.6个百分点，但从五家A股上市险企的同期比例来看处于相对较低的位置。 加强资产负债管理是低利率环境下的"头等大事"。 在政策引导及市场"慢牛"等多重因素下，险资今年的加仓动作明显。接下来大型险企的权益投资动向也 成为市场关注焦点。 "我们的权益资产配置比例是合意的，符合我们的长期管理目标。"中国太保副总裁、首席投资官、财务 负责人苏罡在近日举行的中国太保2025年资本市场开放日上表示。 苏罡称，截至三季度末，中国太保的权益投 ...
