This decline is attributed to several factors, including the increase in minimum capital requirements and the dynamics of asset and liability growth [1][10]. Group 1: Solvency Analysis - The solvency adequacy ratio decreased due to a 3.2% increase in recognized assets and a 4.1% increase in recognized liabilities, leading to a 1.6% decline in actual capital. Meanwhile, the minimum capital requirement increased by 10.8% [3][13]. - The minimum capital scale reached 2.3 trillion yuan, up 10.8% quarter-on-quarter and 18.7% year-on-year, while actual capital stood at 4.7 trillion yuan, down 1.6% quarter-on-quarter but up 8.1% year-on-year [11][12]. Group 2: Risk Structure - The composition of the quantitative risk minimum capital shows that insurance risk accounts for 24%, market risk for 62%, and credit risk for 14%. The market risk proportion has significantly increased compared to the past three years [16][18]. - The increase in market risk minimum capital is primarily due to the shift towards dividend-type insurance products and the corresponding rise in equity asset allocation, which has heightened the minimum capital requirements and increased solvency pressure on insurance companies [18][26]. Group 3: Regulatory Response - In response to the solvency pressure, regulatory authorities introduced policies to guide the industry in optimizing investment structures and promoting long-term investment. For instance, the risk factor for long-term investments in stocks from the CSI 300 index held for over three years can be reduced by 10% [18][26]. - These adjustments aim to support stable investment behaviors and alleviate the capital burden faced by insurance companies in the current market environment [18][26]. Group 4: Company-Specific Risk Indicators - Among the top three life insurance companies, China Life has a market risk minimum capital proportion of 68.6%, which is above the industry average [18][27]. - The risk structures of leading companies differ significantly, influenced by their business structures, product term structures, and asset allocation strategies [20][28].
