The average yield of the Shanghai Composite Index is below the risk-free rate, resulting in a negative Sharpe ratio [34][35]. Investment Strategies and Asset Allocation - The investment strategies of social security funds, enterprise annuities, and life insurance funds differ significantly due to their underlying asset allocations.

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the significant losses in compulsory traffic accident liability insurance (CIC) in 2024, highlighting the increase in claim frequency, average claim amounts, and the rising proportion of electric vehicles, which have collectively led to record-high underwriting losses in recent years [1][8][20].

A significant rise in accident frequency post-pandemic, with the claim frequency for major insurers like Ping An and PICC reaching 11.9% and 11.3%, respectively, in 2024 [8][22]. 2. The average claim amount has been driven up by rising personal injury compensation standards, which are linked to the growth in residents' disposable income (5.1% increase in 2024) and rising medical costs [8][22]. 3. The growing share of electric vehicles, which have higher accident rates and repair costs, further elevating overall claim levels [8][22].

Core Viewpoint - The implementation of new accounting standards in the life insurance industry by 2026 will lead to revolutionary changes in financial statements, breaking the traditional profit recognition smoothness and introducing a more transparent profit recognition model that reflects the economic substance of contracts [1]. Group 1: Contractual Service Margin (CSM) - Contractual Service Margin (CSM) represents the difference between the present value of expected future cash inflows (mainly premiums) and expected future cash outflows (including claims, expenses, investment management costs, and risk adjustments) at the initial recognition of a group of insurance contracts with similar risk characteristics [2][3]. - CSM serves as a "profit pool" or "water reservoir" that insurance companies accumulate in advance for future services, measured at initial recognition and listed on the balance sheet, but not yet realized as profit [3]. Group 2: CSM Amortization - CSM amortization refers to the process of gradually transferring amounts from CSM to profit and loss as the insurance company continues to provide insurance coverage to policyholders, reflecting the accounting principle of matching [3][5]. - The CSM amortization amount constitutes a significant part of the insurance company's current "insurance service revenue," effectively converting "unrealized" profits on the balance sheet into "realized" profits on the income statement [3]. Group 3: CSM Amortization Ratio - The CSM Amortization Ratio is introduced to measure the speed at which different insurance companies release profits, calculated as the ratio of CSM amortization to the CSM amortization basis [5][6]. - A higher amortization ratio indicates a greater proportion of insurance services provided during the period relative to the entire service period, leading to a larger proportion of previously accumulated profits being recognized [8]. Group 4: Industry Insights - The differences in amortization ratios among listed insurance companies provide insights into their business structures, profit models, financial strategies, and long-term development paths [12]. - As of the second quarter of 2025, the CSM for seven listed insurance companies was 2.2612 trillion yuan, with CSM amortization of 98.2 billion yuan, resulting in an amortization ratio of 4.2% [8].

Core Viewpoint - The insurance industry is experiencing significant changes in the structure and estimation of incurred but not reported (IBNR) reserves, which are crucial for understanding the financial health of insurance companies. The IBNR reserves for 2024 are estimated at approximately 248 billion, accounting for 37.5% of the total reserves, remaining stable compared to the previous year [11][13][16]. Group 1: IBNR Reserves - IBNR reserves are primarily composed of three parts: reported but not settled claims, unreported claims, and claims handling expense reserves. The estimation of IBNR involves predicting future claims based on historical data and actuarial models, which introduces a degree of uncertainty [10][11]. - The proportion of IBNR reserves to total reserves has increased from 15.4% in 2010 to 39.4% in 2022, but has shown signs of a recent decline [13]. - For major insurance companies in 2024, the IBNR proportion of total reserves is as follows: People's Insurance Company of China (35.3%), Ping An Property & Casualty (39.9%), and China Pacific Insurance (35.8%), with the latter showing a decrease of 4.3 percentage points compared to the previous year [16][18]. Group 2: Cash Flow and Cost Ratios - A new accounting standard for insurance contracts has introduced a metric for changes in cash flow related to incurred claims liabilities. This metric reflects the difference between actual and estimated claim payments, impacting the book value of insurance liabilities [5][24]. - The ratio of changes in incurred claims liabilities to insurance service revenue for 2024 is projected to be -4.5%, indicating favorable changes that have led to a reduction in the comprehensive cost ratio for eight major insurance companies by approximately 4.5 percentage points [7][29]. - The total incurred claims liabilities for eight companies adopting the new accounting standard represent about 75% of the market share in the property and casualty insurance sector [24]. Group 3: Industry Trends and Comparisons - The average IBNR proportion across the industry for 2024 is 37.5%, with a simple average of 46.3% and a median of 43.2%. Ten companies have an IBNR proportion exceeding 70% [14]. - The ratio of total reserves to earned premiums for 2024 is 44.1%, reflecting a year-on-year increase of approximately 1 percentage point, with top three companies at 43.8% and smaller companies at 44.6% [13]. - The report highlights the differences in IBNR proportions among companies, which can be attributed to business structure and claims efficiency improvements [14][16].

Group 2: Court Ruling - The court rejected the insurance company's defense, stating that the insurer should have been aware of the vehicle's potential rental use when underwriting the policy [2]. - The court ruled that the insurance company could not deny coverage based on the change in vehicle usage, as it had not clearly defined the operational nature of the vehicle at the time of underwriting [2]. - The final judgment mandated the insurance company to compensate the injured party a total of 254,024.78 yuan, with the driver responsible for an additional 4,240.72 yuan [3][4].
