长钱长投新规出台，险企全面实施“当年+三年+五年”周期考核

Core Viewpoint - The recent issuance of the "Notice" by the Ministry of Finance marks a significant institutional breakthrough for long-term investment by insurance funds, enhancing the performance evaluation system for state-owned insurance companies and promoting stable and sustainable long-term investments in the capital market [1][2]. Group 1: Long-term Assessment Mechanism - The "Notice" emphasizes the establishment of a long-term assessment mechanism for state-owned insurance funds, adjusting the evaluation of net asset return and capital preservation and appreciation rates to include annual, three-year, and five-year indicators, with respective weights of 30%, 50%, and 20% [2][3]. - This adjustment aims to reduce the impact of short-term market fluctuations on performance evaluations, encouraging insurance companies to focus on long-term and value investments [2][3][4]. Group 2: Asset-Liability Management and Investment Capability - The "Notice" outlines new requirements for state-owned insurance companies regarding asset-liability management, emphasizing the need for better matching of asset and liability structures, cost-benefit analysis, and cash flow management [5]. - It also stresses the importance of stable operations and enhanced investment management capabilities, including strict adherence to internal investment management systems and improved decision-making processes [5][6]. Group 3: Increased A-share Investment - The new long-term assessment mechanism is expected to encourage insurance funds to increase their allocation to A-shares, as it allows for greater tolerance of short-term market volatility [8][9]. - If insurance funds increase their equity allocation by just 1%, it could inject approximately 350 billion yuan into the market, further enhancing the long-term investment characteristics of insurance capital [9][10]. Group 4: Potential for Growth in Specific Sectors - There is significant potential for insurance capital to increase its allocation in A-shares, with current investments being relatively low compared to the total assets under management [10][11]. - The focus on long-term assessments may lead to increased investments in blue-chip stocks and high-dividend assets, as well as in strategic emerging industries such as integrated circuits and artificial intelligence [12][13]. Group 5: Fund Companies' Role - Fund companies are expected to enhance their investment services to support insurance funds in achieving good long-term returns, developing more stable products, and improving their investment capabilities [13]. - The ongoing reforms and improvements in the capital market environment are seen as favorable for insurance funds to increase their equity investments [13].
