Summary by Directory 3.1 Historical Evolution: Coexistence of Systemic Dividend Release and Deep - seated Contradictions 3.1.1 From Non - marketization to Marketization - Non - market operation stage (1991 - 2004): It was a crucial foundation - laying period for China's supplementary pension system, featuring administrative leadership and decentralized management. The key contradiction was the lack of unified national regulations and the risk of fund safety. This ultimately led to the introduction of policies in 2004 to start the market - oriented transfer [14][15]. - Market operation stage (since 2004): Marked by the promulgation of relevant regulations, it established the trust - based management model. The market has experienced a rapid development period (2007 - 2016) and a mature and in - depth development period (since 2017), with continuous improvement in the system and investment quality [16]. 3.1.2 What are the Enterprise Annuity Management Institutions? - The enterprise annuity management institutions are characterized by a highly concentrated market and specialized division of labor. There are four types of management institutions, with different distributions of qualifications. Some large institutions can provide integrated services, while the custody function is independently undertaken by commercial banks [27]. - In the trustee market, insurance institutions dominate, and bank - affiliated institutions are rising rapidly. The market shows a significant head - concentration effect. In the investment management market, public funds and insurance institutions play important roles [30][54]. 3.1.3 Enterprise Annuity Plans and Annuity Pension Products - Enterprise annuity plans mainly include single plans and collective plans. Single plans are suitable for large enterprises, while collective plans have advantages such as high efficiency, low cost, and scale benefits [60][63]. - Annuity pension products are standard investment portfolios issued by enterprise annuity fund investment managers and sold to specific pension funds. After more than a decade of development, their investment scope has gradually expanded [66]. 3.2 Current Situation Analysis of Enterprise Annuities 3.2.1 Coverage and Regional Characteristics of Enterprise Annuities - The number of employees participating in enterprise annuities has been increasing, but the coverage rate has not improved significantly.

In the past three years (2022Q1 - 2025Q1), the cumulative return reached 7.46%. Asset allocation shows differentiation, with fixed - income portfolios performing better than equity - containing portfolios in the past three years.

The automatic enrollment mechanism may solve the problem of low participation of small and medium - sized enterprises [105]. - The trustee and investment management institutions may continue to be concentrated. The "Matthew effect" in the trustee market may intensify, and the head - effect in the investment management market may continue [105]. - The investment management of single plans and collective plans may undergo structural adjustments.
