8月的保费如此亮眼，显然主要是受预定利率下调背景下的旧产品"炒停"因素带动。多名业内人士分 析，9月以后保费增速预计将逐步回落，而险企在策略上也会加速转向分红险销售。 8月寿险保费高增 不管是和7月环比，还是和去年8月同比，今年8月寿险的保费都堪称亮眼，是今年前8个月保费同比涨幅 最高的一个月。 金融监管总局近日发布的8月保费数据显示，前8月，人身险公司寿险累计原保险保费收入为2.97万亿 元，同比增长14.05%，也使得今年以来累计保费同比增速首次达到两位数增长。而前8月的保费涨幅突 出，主要来源于8月当月的贡献。 第一财经记者根据金融监管总局数据计算，8月单月寿险原保险保费收入为3985亿元，同比增幅高达 61.53%，环比7月的增长亦达到38.13%。尽管从绝对值上与1月的"开门红"依然相差甚远，但8月的增长 率却达到了今年的高峰，而且这一高增长是建立在去年8月单月寿险原保险保费收入同比68.4%的高基 数上。 "8月的销售情况确实是超过了之前的预期。"一名保险公司高管对第一财经记者表示。 金融监管总局近日发布的最新保费数据显示，8月单月，寿险原保险保费收入在去年的高基数上同比增 长超六成。同时，根据第 ...

Core Viewpoint - The insurance industry is experiencing a downward adjustment in the preset interest rates for insurance products, with significant implications for investment returns and product structure [1][2]. Group 1: Adjustments in Preset Interest Rates - Several insurance companies have announced reductions in the maximum preset interest rates for newly filed life insurance products, with ordinary insurance products now at 2.0%, participating insurance products at 1.75%, and universal insurance products at a maximum guaranteed rate of 1.0%, reflecting decreases of 50, 25, and 50 basis points respectively [1]. - The preset interest rates for insurance products have undergone multiple adjustments since the introduction of floating yield insurance, leading to a shift in product structure towards "guaranteed returns + floating returns" participating insurance becoming mainstream [1]. Group 2: Investment Returns of Life Insurance Companies - As of now, 58 life insurance companies have disclosed their investment return rates for the first half of 2025, with most institutions reporting rates between 1% and 3%, and some experiencing declines compared to the previous year [2]. - Specific examples include Hengtai Life, which saw its investment return rate drop from 2.67% in the first half of 2024 to 0.96% in the first half of 2025, a decrease of 1.71 percentage points [2]. - Among the companies with investment returns exceeding 3% are Lianan Life (3.22%), Junlong Life (4.67%), Guomin Pension Insurance (3.01%), Xingfu Life (3.08%), and Beijing Life (3.65%) [2]. Group 3: Factors Influencing Negative Investment Returns - Negative investment returns can occur due to the classification of investment assets and trading strategies, particularly if companies use fair value measurement for financial assets and experience significant declines in market value [3]. - Large impairments in debt assets or significant credit losses can also adversely affect current profits, leading to lower investment return rates [3]. Group 4: Evaluating Participating Insurance - The solvency reports from insurance companies reveal both investment return rates and comprehensive investment return rates, with the latter generally being higher [4]. - For instance, Changcheng Life reported an investment return rate of 2.58% alongside a comprehensive investment return rate of 6.82% for the first half of 2025 [4]. - Comprehensive investment return rates reflect a broader view of investment performance, including unrealized gains and losses, making them more representative of an insurance company's overall investment capability [5]. Group 5: Consumer Considerations - Consumers are advised to focus on long-term comprehensive investment return rates when selecting participating insurance products, considering historical performance and dividend realization rates [5].

Core Viewpoint - The report from Huayuan Securities indicates that the sensitivity of high-quality life insurance companies' net assets to interest rates is becoming manageable, especially with the regulatory reduction of preset interest rates, leading to a significant decrease in the break-even cost of liabilities for new policies in 2024 [1][3]. Group 1: Impact of Long-term Interest Rates - Long-term interest rates affect life insurance companies' net assets through three main paths: the gap between asset and liability durations for traditional insurance, the impact on contracts with Variable Fee Approach (VFA) characteristics, and the ultimate discount rate applied to policy contracts after 40 years [1]. - For traditional insurance, the gap between asset and liability durations directly influences net assets; for VFA products, a decline in long-term rates can initially be absorbed by the Contractual Service Margin (CSM) until rates drop to a critical level, at which point CSM may turn negative, reflecting losses in insurance service expenses [1]. Group 2: Variability in Companies' Sensitivity to Interest Rates - There is significant variability in how different companies' net assets respond to interest rate declines due to factors such as asset classification, liability product characteristics, duration of bond investments, and minimum guaranteed rates [2]. - Under a stress test scenario where long-term rates decline by 50 basis points at the end of 2024, the net asset declines for China Pacific Insurance and China Life are projected at 7% and 13.6%, respectively, indicating manageable risk levels [2]. Group 3: Decrease in Liability Costs for New Policies - The break-even liability costs for new policies have effectively decreased, with the regulatory guidance reducing the upper limit of preset interest rates for traditional insurance from 3.5% to 2.5% and for participating insurance from 2.5% to 2.0% [3]. - In 2024, the break-even liability costs for China Life and China Pacific are expected to decrease by approximately 50 basis points to around 2.4-2.5%, while Xinhua's costs have dropped by 94 basis points to 2.98% [3]. Group 4: Potential Turning Point for Existing Policies - The cost of existing policies may reach a turning point, with the break-even liability costs for major companies projected between 2.2% and 3% at the end of 2024 [4]. - As the premium cash flow from high-cost policies ceases after the end of the payment period (typically 3-5 years), the industry anticipates a reduction in liability costs post-2028 [4]. - Xinhua has opted to increase its equity allocation to hedge against interest rate declines, effectively capitalizing on opportunities in the equity market in 2024 [4].
