1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in this report. 2. Core View of the Report In Q3 2025, enterprise annuities showed the characteristics of "scale expansion, high - growth investment income, and market pattern differentiation". The overall performance was significantly improved driven by the jump in equity investment income while the coverage and fund scale continued to expand. In the trustee market, insurance funds still dominated, and bank - affiliated institutions were growing, with different institutional competition strategies. The head - effect in the investment end was strengthened, and equity products became the core driving force for performance. The market conditions and product structure adjustment jointly drove the outstanding performance this quarter [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Enterprise Annuity Scale and Yield - **Scale Expansion**: In Q3 2025, the number of enterprises with enterprise annuities increased by 2,770 to 175,000, the number of participating employees increased by 275,200 to 33.32 million, and the accumulated funds increased by 0.24 trillion yuan to 4.09 trillion yuan.

As of Q3 2025, China Life Pension and Ping An Pension almost occupied half of the market in terms of the number of managed enterprises, employees, and asset amounts, with the combined proportions being 44.3%, 49.4%, and 49.5% respectively, compared with - 1.38pct, - 0.11pct, and + 0.03pct in Q2 2025 [2]. - **Trustee Management Asset Amount**: The overall scale continued to rise, with a Q3 2025 quarter - on - quarter increase of 6.3% to 3.1 trillion yuan.

The number of enterprises managed by China Construction Bank Pension increased by 12.7% to 8,000 in Q3 2025, with relatively fast business growth [2]. - **Number of Managed Employees**: The head - gathering effect was obvious, and the overall pattern still showed insurance - fund dominance.

Three insurance - fund institutions, Taikang Asset, China Life Pension, and Ping An Pension, still ranked in the top three in terms of management scale with 693.3 billion yuan, 517.3 billion yuan, and 381.6 billion yuan respectively. The average managed asset amount of public - offering fund companies (149.5 billion yuan, an increase of 9.2 billion yuan compared with Q2 2025, a quarter - on - quarter increase of 6.54%) was less than that of insurance - fund institutions (an average of 283.1 billion yuan, an increase of 17.2 billion yuan compared with Q2 2025, a quarter - on - quarter increase of 6.48%). In terms of scale change, Taikang Asset, ICBC Credit Suisse, and Ping An Pension had the top three increments, with increases of 44.9 billion yuan, 37.9 billion yuan, and 26.0 billion yuan respectively compared with Q2 2025.

Guotai Fund entered the top 10 in terms of management scale (a rise of 4 places compared with Q2 2025) [3]. - **Performance**: The high - growth yield of equity - containing portfolios drove the overall investment yield to strengthen, while the investment yield of fixed - income portfolios fluctuated slightly and remained relatively stable. In Q3 2025, the investment yield of fixed - income portfolios decreased slightly by 0.03pct (from 0.93% to 0.90%), mainly affected by the decline in the income of single plans. The investment yield of equity - containing portfolios "jumped", with the single - quarter yield increasing significantly from 1.02% to 4.82%, and each plan type recorded an increase of about 3pct. This also drove the overall yield to increase from 1.00% to 4.26%, and single - plan and collective - plan types all achieved significant growth. From the yields in the first three quarters of this year, the yields of fixed - income, equity - containing, and overall were 2.37%, 6.24%, and 5.72% respectively [3]. 3.4 Changes in Annuity Pension Products - **Equity Products**: Compared with Q2 2025, in Q3 2025, the scale and yield of equity products increased significantly.

Among them, the single - quarter yields of ordinary stock - type and Hong Kong - stock - type products reached 22.6% and 25.4% respectively, and the cumulative yield of Hong Kong - stock products since their establishment also improved from - 23.8% in Q2 2025 to - 7.3% in Q3 2025 [3]. - **Fixed - Income Products**: The net value of fixed - income products at the end of Q3 2025 decreased by 5.95% quarter - on - quarter to 1,596.1 billion yuan, and the yield in this period slightly decreased to 0.68% [3]. - **Overall Situation**: The total net value of pension products at the end of the period increased slightly by 0.58% quarter - on - quarter to 2,464.8 billion yuan, and the quarterly investment yield increased from 1.09% in Q2 2025 to 3.11% in Q3 2025. This change might be due to the inflow of funds into equity products driven by the equity market conditions in the third quarter, while the fixed - income products experienced capital outflows [3].
