预定利率下调“倒计时”!分红险竞争优势凸显,险企该如何竞逐?

Core Viewpoint - The insurance industry is undergoing a significant shift as the predetermined interest rates for life insurance products are set to decrease, prompting companies to phase out non-compliant products and introduce new ones. This has led to a heightened interest in participating insurance products, which are expected to dominate the market in a low-interest-rate environment [1][3][5]. Group 1: Changes in Predetermined Interest Rates - The China Insurance Industry Association announced a new research value for ordinary life insurance products' predetermined interest rate at 1.99%, down from 2.34% in January and 2.13% in April, marking a significant decline [3][5]. - Major insurance companies, including China Life and Ping An Life, have adjusted their maximum predetermined interest rates, with ordinary life insurance rates dropping from 2.5% to 2%, and participating insurance rates from 2% to 1.75% [3][5][7]. - The new rates will take effect after August 31, with no applications accepted for products exceeding these limits [3]. Group 2: Shift Towards Participating Insurance Products - In response to the declining interest rates, participating insurance products are gaining traction due to their combination of guaranteed and floating returns, appealing to consumers seeking higher returns [5][6]. - Participating insurance allows policyholders to receive a share of the insurer's profits, with a minimum of 70% of the distributable surplus allocated to policyholders each year [5][9]. - The competitive advantage of participating insurance is further enhanced by its flexibility in product design, allowing for additional features such as universal accounts and health management services [7][8]. Group 3: Market Dynamics and Consumer Behavior - The low-interest-rate environment and asset scarcity are driving insurance companies to expand their offerings of participating and other floating-return products [8][9]. - Data from the China Insurance Industry Association indicates that nearly 40% of new life insurance products launched in the first quarter were participating or universal life insurance [8]. - The performance of participating insurance products is closely tied to the company's actual operating results, with the dividend realization rate being a critical measure of their competitiveness [9][10]. Group 4: Consumer Considerations - Consumers are advised to evaluate the dividend realization rate over the past 5-10 years to assess the stability and variability of the insurer's performance [9][10]. - The speed of cash value growth is also crucial, as faster growth indicates better liquidity and shorter lock-in periods for funds [10]. - Additional factors such as the insurer's investment return rates, solvency ratios, and hidden costs like commissions and management fees should be considered when selecting products [10].

Core Viewpoint - The scheduled interest rate for insurance products in China is set to decrease to 2.0%, significantly impacting consumers' insurance purchases and the insurance industry as a whole [1][7]. Summary by Relevant Sections Impact on Savings-Type Insurance - The reduction in the preset interest rate will lead to a notable decrease in the returns from savings-type insurance products, affecting future pension payouts and overall wealth accumulation for families [2][5]. - The cash value growth of products like endowment life insurance will slow down, diminishing the long-term wealth appreciation effect [2][5]. Impact on Protection-Type Insurance - Premiums for protection-type insurance products, such as critical illness and term life insurance, are expected to rise. For instance, a 30-year-old male will see an increase of 1,830 yuan annually for a specific critical illness insurance product due to the new rate [2][4]. - The average premium increase across various products is estimated to be around 20%, with products that include investment savings features likely experiencing higher adjustments compared to pure protection products [3][4]. Financial Planning Uncertainty - The decrease in preset interest rates introduces uncertainty into long-term financial planning, particularly for essential needs like retirement and education funding, necessitating a reassessment of financial goals and strategies [5][6]. Strategies for Consumers - Consumers are advised to take advantage of the remaining time before the new rates take effect by locking in higher interest rate products, particularly in annuity insurance [6][7]. - It is recommended to diversify asset allocation to mitigate interest rate risks, including increasing investments in fixed-income assets like government bonds [6][7]. - Families without basic protection insurance are encouraged to finalize their plans before premium increases, opting for products that combine protection and savings [6][7].
