今年A股收获颇丰，险资入市放缓

Core Viewpoint - The pace of insurance capital entering the market is slowing down, reflecting a cautious and rational approach under the absolute return orientation [4] Group 1: Insurance Capital Allocation Trends - In the first half of the year, the insurance industry experienced an accelerated phase of equity asset allocation, with the combined proportion of insurance funds invested in secondary stocks and funds reaching 13.6% by the end of Q2, an increase of 0.3 percentage points from Q1 [5] - The proportion of stock allocation increased by 1.2 percentage points year-on-year, approaching 9%, while the fund proportion slightly decreased, indicating a structural optimization from "outsourcing to direct investment" [5][6] Group 2: Major Players and Their Strategies - Leading insurance companies with high solvency ratios, such as New China Life and Ping An Insurance, have become the main force in increasing allocations, with their equity allocation ratios rising by more than 3 percentage points in the first half of the year [7] - However, the momentum for significant further entry into the market is weakening, as the attitude towards equity assets is becoming more cautious, aligning with the core goal of absolute returns [7] Group 3: Future Outlook and Investment Channels - Despite the potential slowdown in the growth rate of allocation ratios, the absolute amount of insurance capital invested in A-shares is expected to continue increasing [9] - The implementation plan for promoting long-term capital entry into the market mandates that large state-owned insurance companies invest 30% of new premiums in A-shares starting from 2025 [9] - Additionally, the rising proportion of participating insurance policies naturally leads to an increase in equity allocation, with companies like CITIC Prudential Life investing nearly 50% of their participating insurance assets in equity assets [9]
