Group 1: FVOCI Accounting Category - FVOCI (Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income) allows insurance companies to measure financial assets at fair value without affecting their profit and loss statements, thus stabilizing profit reports [2][6]. - As of June 2023, several listed insurance companies have seen significant increases in their FVOCI equity asset holdings, with Xinhua Insurance's FVOCI equity assets rising from 30.64 billion to 37.47 billion yuan, and China Life's FVOCI stock holdings reaching 140.26 billion yuan, accounting for 22.6% of its total stock investments [2][6]. Group 2: Investment Strategies - Insurance companies are focusing on high-dividend stocks, particularly in sectors benefiting from policies aimed at reducing competition and improving cash flow amid inflation [4][8]. - The shift towards FVOCI is also a strategy to address the mismatch in asset-liability durations, as many insurance companies face a duration gap of 4-7 years, significantly higher than the 1-2 years seen in markets like Japan and Germany [8][9]. Group 3: Long-term Investment Logic - The increasing allocation of equities to FVOCI is prompting insurance companies to adjust their investment logic from short-term capital gains to a focus on stable stock price fluctuations and sustainable dividend income [14]. - The dual effect of this strategy is that while it stabilizes profit reports, it also requires insurance companies to maintain a long-term perspective on their investments, which aligns with the regulatory environment favoring long-term assessments [12][14].
