2024年业绩"翻两倍"的新华保险，成功将增长趋势延续到了2025年。 经历"股债双牛"下的集体大涨后，2025年一季度新华保险营收、净利分别增长26.15%、19.02%，成为中国人保外唯一的"双增"公司。 拆分来看，新华保险投资端、负债端均有较好表现： 一是投资组合顶住市场波动压力，总投资收益率实现1.1个百分点的增长； 二是负债端改革成果兑现，保费收入在人身险一季度"开门黑"中逆势增长近三成。 从各项核心数据看，如今的新华保险已逐渐走出2020年后利润增速承压的阴霾； 但进一步看，机遇中亦暗藏承保利润较低等挑战，其一季度延续的传统险主导产品结构，更可能在未来带来资产负债匹配压力。 总裁龚兴峰将公司在产品选择上的矛盾，总结为"破"与"立"的抉择。 并称需要"先立后破"，通过传统险业务提升市场占有率后，公司二季度产品中心将逐步转向分红险。 投资端"顶压" 股市方面，一季度H股恒生指数、恒生科技指数涨幅分别高达15.3%、20.7%； 但债市出现明显回调，1年期国债、10年期国债、10年期国开债分别上行45个、14个、11个基点。 股债跷跷板分化，使险企坐享权益资产增长同时，亦须直面债市的高位波动。 例如当期 ...
