从今年举牌上市公司的险企来看，既有大型险企，也有中小险企。从举牌标的来看，高股息标的和H股 上市公司占比较高。天职国际会计师事务所保险咨询主管合伙人周瑾认为，这主要是因为这些标的与保 险资金期限长、投资风格稳健等特性高度契合，同时，H股的估值较A股呈现出一定折价，增值空间更 大，且通过港股通投资还有一定的税收优惠，因此是险资权益配置的重点。 周瑾表示，随着新会计准则即将全面实施，更多险企希望通过举牌来实现权益法核算，以减少当期损益 的波动性，这一因素也将推动险企增加举牌行为。同时，当前股票市场的估值较低，未来或有较大的升 值空间，险企需把握低估值机会增配权益资产。 具体来看，港交所披露易信息显示，弘康人寿于6月27日以每股1.2068港元增持郑州银行H股1600万股， 增持后持股比例占其H股的5.55%，根据香港市场规则，触发举牌。随后，弘康人寿于下一个交易日（6 月30日）继续增持郑州银行H股2300万股，每股价格1.1804港元。至此，弘康人寿持有郑州银行H股数 量达到1.35亿股，持股比例上升至6.68%。 《证券日报》记者根据公开信息统计，今年截至目前已有10家保险机构对16家上市公司进行举牌，举牌 ...
