Core Viewpoint - The rapid growth of China's non-auto insurance sector, with an average annual growth rate exceeding 10% over the past decade, has led to high costs and irrational competition, prompting regulatory measures to reshape the market dynamics towards risk pricing and service capability [2][3][12]. Group 1: Industry Growth and Challenges - Non-auto insurance premiums accounted for over 50% of total premiums, with a significant increase in the average annual growth rate of 14.4% from 2014 to 2024, compared to 5.2% for auto insurance [3][12]. - Major insurance companies, including PICC, Ping An, and Taiping, have reported that their average non-auto insurance comprehensive cost ratio has remained above 100% since 2019, indicating underwriting losses primarily offset by auto insurance profits [4][12]. - The industry faces challenges such as high expense levels, inadequate premium sufficiency, persistent underwriting losses, and high accounts receivable [2][3]. Group 2: Regulatory Measures - The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) has issued several notifications and guidelines to address irrational competition and high costs in the non-auto insurance sector, including the recent "Questions and Answers on Comprehensive Governance of Non-Auto Insurance" [2][4][12]. - The new regulations emphasize the principle of "reporting and operating in unison," requiring insurance companies to strictly adhere to approved insurance terms and rates, thereby enhancing market behavior regulation [4][11]. - The regulations aim to reduce the emphasis on premium scale and growth, shifting the focus towards compliance, quality, and consumer rights protection [6][12]. Group 3: Company Responses - Leading insurers like PICC, Ping An, and Taiping have proactively initiated product term filings and cost governance in response to regulatory changes, indicating a strong commitment to compliance [6][7]. - Companies are restructuring their business models to transition from cost competition to risk pricing and service capability, with a focus on enhancing internal management and product innovation [7][8]. - Smaller insurers are encouraged to focus on niche markets and specialized products to differentiate themselves and build competitive advantages [15][16]. Group 4: Market Dynamics and Future Outlook - The implementation of the "reporting and operating in unison" policy is expected to compress some business operations in the short term but will ultimately lead to a more sustainable competitive environment based on risk identification and service quality [10][12]. - The regulatory framework aims to clarify responsibilities and streamline processes, pushing the market towards a more structured and compliant operational model [10][11]. - The anticipated market concentration will favor larger, well-managed companies, while smaller firms may need to adapt by focusing on specialized areas to survive [15][16].

Investment Logic - The core view is that new individual insurance premiums for listed insurance companies are expected to achieve double-digit growth by 2026, primarily driven by the bancassurance channel [1][18] - The individual insurance channel is anticipated to maintain steady growth, while the bancassurance channel will benefit from the migration of deposits, leading to an increase in market share for large insurance companies [1][18] - The growth in the bancassurance channel is expected to dilute fixed costs, significantly enhancing overall profitability [1][18] Bancassurance Channel - Since 2020, leading insurance companies have refocused on the bancassurance channel, transitioning from scale compensation to value pursuit, resulting in a rise in market share [2][8] - The bancassurance channel has seen a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2% from 2019 to 2023, while individual insurance premiums have declined [9] - The "reporting and banking integration" policy implemented in August 2023 has significantly reduced costs, enhancing the value rate of the bancassurance channel [14][9] Customer Deposit Analysis - A survey of 88 frontline bank wealth managers indicates that a significant portion of residents' deposits will mature in 2026, with expectations of low renewal rates due to the withdrawal of high-yield time deposits [3][25] - The majority of maturing depositors are aged 45 and above, indicating a lower risk appetite, with insurance products being the second choice for reallocating maturing deposits [4][30] - Wealth managers believe that bank wealth management products will be the most accepted option for maturing deposits, followed by insurance products [30][27] Sales Logic for Insurance Products - Wealth managers prioritize customer returns and the brand of insurance companies when recommending insurance products [5][33] - The core advantages of participating in dividend insurance sales include stable returns, capital safety, and alignment with long-term financial planning [36][40] - Challenges in selling dividend insurance include uncertainty in returns and the long duration of products, which may deter potential customers [40][36] Market Forecast - The insurance industry is projected to see new single premium growth exceeding 25% in 2026, driven by the bancassurance channel [42][44] - The expected influx of maturing deposits into insurance products will be significant, with estimates of new funds in the bancassurance channel reaching 11,150 billion by the end of 2026 [44][44] - The concentration trend among leading insurance companies is expected to continue, with larger firms benefiting from improved profitability in the bancassurance channel [47][48]

Core Viewpoint - Analyzing an insurance company requires a comprehensive approach that considers multiple indicators such as risk, profitability, development, and scale, rather than focusing solely on premiums or profits [1]. Group 1: Comprehensive Strength of Insurance Companies - The "13精" comprehensive competitiveness ranking has been published for six consecutive years, evaluating companies based on six key indicators [1][4]. - The ranking aims to guide insurance companies to prioritize consumer rights protection by adjusting the evaluation system to include service capability [1]. Group 2: Top Competitors in 2025 - In the first half of 2025, the top 30 companies in the "13精" comprehensive competitiveness ranking included five AAA-rated companies: Ping An Property & Casualty, PICC Property & Casualty, Taiping Property & Casualty, China Life Property, and Yingda Property [5][6][14]. - The ranking reflects the ongoing "Matthew Effect" in the insurance industry, where leading companies maintain their competitive edge [14]. Group 3: Financial Performance and Trends - In the first half of 2025, the net profit of 84 property insurance companies reached 52.5 billion, marking a continuous growth for five years and nearing the total net profit of 60.5 billion for 2024 [11]. - The profitability of property insurance companies has improved due to better underwriting capabilities and a favorable investment environment, with many companies experiencing significant year-on-year profit increases [12][19]. Group 4: Individual Company Analysis - Ping An Property & Casualty demonstrated strong growth in both scale and profitability, with a double-digit growth rate in non-auto insurance premiums [16][19]. - PICC Property & Casualty achieved a comprehensive cost ratio of 94.72%, down 0.81 percentage points from the previous year, with a return on equity (ROE) exceeding 9% [20][22]. - Taiping Property & Casualty improved its net asset return to 8.9%, benefiting from a reduction in comprehensive cost ratios [24]. Group 5: Industry Dynamics and Challenges - The transition towards non-auto insurance has led to increased differentiation among insurance companies, with some small and medium-sized firms improving profitability while others struggle [12][28]. - The industry continues to experience a "Matthew Effect," where larger firms outperform smaller ones in both scale and profitability, despite overall improvements in cost ratios across the sector [25][28]. Group 6: Industry Metrics and Comparisons - The average premium growth rate in the industry was 4.04%, with an average ROE of 6.86% and a comprehensive solvency adequacy ratio of 239.30% [30]. - The ranking system has been refined over time to better reflect the industry's focus on high-quality development, including adjustments to the scoring of premium growth and the introduction of service capability metrics [52][54].
