相比往年，今年险资举牌节奏更加频繁，去年全年险资举牌次数为20次，今年不到半年的时间险资举牌 数量已接近去年全年。部分险资机构并未止步于最低5%的举牌线，而是在首次举牌后选择继续增持， 甚至突破10%的举牌线。 在业内人士看来，险资今年举牌热情明显增加与监管政策驱动息息相关。今年以来，中央金融办发布 《关于推动中长期资金入市工作的实施方案》明确国有保险公司经营绩效全面实现3年以上的长周期考 核，监管还表示将引导大型国有保险公司从2025年起每年新增保费的30%用于投资A股。 【深圳商报讯】（记者邱清月）险企掀起举牌潮！仅这周以来就有三起举牌事件，而且对象都是H股。 事实上，今年以来险资机构已经发布16次举牌公告。 平安人寿近日发布公告称，平安资产5月19日受托平安人寿资金，投资于农业银行H股，在5月12日达到 农业银行H股股本的10%，触发举牌。此前2月，平安人寿已经进行了一次对农业银行H股的举牌。5月 16日，平安人寿也发布了举牌公告，称平安资产受托于平安人寿资金，在5月9日投资于邮储银行H股股 票，达到股本的10%，触发举牌。新华保险也在5月14日进行了举牌动作，增持上海医药H股耗资272.26 万港元。 ...
