监管加码倒逼风控升级！A股董责险渗透率突破32%创历史新高

Core Viewpoint - The recent release of the "Regulatory Rules for Secretaries of the Board of Directors of Listed Companies (Draft for Comments)" by the China Securities Regulatory Commission signifies a tightening of regulatory constraints on key personnel, leading to an increased demand for directors and officers liability insurance (D&O insurance) among listed companies in the A-share market [2]. Group 1 - The penetration rate of D&O insurance in the A-share market reached a historic high of 32% by 2025, with 643 companies purchasing D&O insurance, marking a 19% increase year-on-year [3][4]. - As of December 2025, a total of 1,753 listed companies had announced their D&O insurance plans, reflecting a 16% increase from the previous year [4]. - The demand for D&O insurance is closely linked to the rising litigation risks faced by directors and senior management, particularly in high-risk industries such as real estate, wholesale, and electricity, where the penetration rate has exceeded 60% [11]. Group 2 - The actual compensation payouts for D&O insurance have significantly increased, with 85 companies facing lawsuits since 2021, indicating a shift from theoretical risk to real financial consequences [7]. - In 2024, there were 26 compensation claims totaling 390 million yuan, while in the first three quarters of 2025, there were 13 claims amounting to 8.947 million yuan, with total disclosed compensation exceeding 850 million yuan from Q1 2022 to Q3 2025 [7]. - The manufacturing sector continues to lead in the number of companies purchasing D&O insurance, particularly in the "Computer, Communication, and Other Electronic Equipment Manufacturing" industry [9]. Group 3 - D&O insurance rates have shown a trend of "rising then falling," currently presenting a rare opportunity for companies to secure lower premiums, with average rates dropping from 0.3% to below 0.05% by Q4 2025 [13]. - The decline in rates is attributed to increased market capacity and irrational competition due to a lack of transparency in claims data, although future rate increases are expected as litigation risks rise and more claims are reported [14]. - Companies are encouraged to take advantage of the current low rate environment to lock in favorable insurance costs before rates increase [14].
