Summary of Insurance Asset Allocation Conference Call Industry Overview - The focus is on the insurance industry, specifically the asset allocation strategies of insurance funds in response to changing market conditions and regulatory frameworks [1][2][3]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Asset-Liability Matching**: The core of insurance asset allocation is to match assets with liabilities, considering duration, cash flow, and cost-benefit analysis to mitigate interest rate risks and unexpected claims [1][3][4]. - **Current Challenges**: Insurance funds face a mismatch between the increasing duration of liabilities and the slower growth of asset duration, exacerbated by a rise in whole life insurance products [1][4]. - **Improved Liability Costs**: The reduction in liability costs, including lower pricing rates and improved costs for new policies, has decreased the expected return requirements on assets, favoring equity allocations [1][4]. - **Regulatory Constraints**: External constraints such as solvency ratios and asset allocation limits significantly influence investment behavior. The solvency ratio can range from a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 50%, affecting the allocation to equities [5]. - **Policy Adjustments**: Recent macroeconomic and market policy adjustments are expected to enhance the stability of A-shares, encouraging insurance funds to increase their equity allocations [5][6]. Future Trends - **Increased Equity Allocation**: There is an anticipated increase in the proportion of equity assets in insurance fund allocations, driven by a growing demand for long-term stable assets and favorable policy changes [6][8]. - **Focus on High-Quality Stocks**: Insurance funds are expected to prioritize long-term stable assets, particularly value stocks with stable Return on Equity (ROE) and cyclical stocks that fit their investment criteria [7][8]. - **High Cost-Performance Sectors**: Sectors with high cost-performance ratios (high ROE/PB) are projected to attract more attention from insurance funds, with a focus on stocks that demonstrate stable ROE over a three-year average [2][7][8]. Additional Important Points - **Limitations of Traditional Strategies**: Traditional strategies such as extending duration, credit downgrading, or investing in non-standard assets face challenges, including insufficient long-duration bond supply and shrinking market sizes for non-standard assets [6][7]. - **Investment Logic**: The investment logic of insurance funds is centered around achieving asset-liability matching, with a gradual shift towards increasing equity proportions in response to both policy encouragement and internal investment needs [3][8].

以往提及国债投资，险企投资负责人总不忘强调其免税效应所带来的对收益率的额外贡献。但如今新发 行的国债、地方债及金融债利息收入即将恢复征收增值税，对于手握约17万亿元债券余额的投资"大 户"险资来说，影响程度如何？ 此前保险公司购买上述债券持有期利息收入免交所得税和增值税，而资本利得税一直没有免税政策。在 此次税收调整后，普通自营机构投资国债、地方债、金融债所产生的利息收入增值税率将从0上升至 6%，资管产品（含公募基金）从0上升至3%。 据记者从多位保险公司资管人士及财务人士处了解，由于部分保险资金会委托给下属资管公司或外部资 管公司进行管理，这当中由于管理方式的不同，所承担的增值税率也将各有不同。例如保险公司委托下 属资管公司进行自有资金投资管理，适用6%增值税率，而如购买旗下资管公司发行的资管产品或购买 公募基金产品等，则适用3%增值税率，由资管公司统一申报并代扣代缴。 不管适用哪档税率，无疑都会造成险资债券投资收益的下降。国家金融监管总局数据显示，截至今年一 季度末，近35万亿元保险资金中，债券投资余额接近17万亿元，占比达48.6%，在大类资产配置中几乎 占有"半壁江山"，国债、金融债均是保险公司债券 ...
