The leader of a state-owned insurance fund institution disclosed that they have been consistently net buyers of equity assets. Amidst the backdrop of declining interest rates, optimizing the allocation of equity assets has become a strategic imperative to bolster the long-term returns of insurance funds. This strategy is also crucial for leveraging the inherent long-term investment advantages of insurance funds, thereby contributing to the real economy and capital markets. According to various insurance fund institutions, since the start of this year, influenced by multiple factors including regulatory policy guidance and shifts in product mix on the liability side, insurance funds have proactively increased their equity market holdings. Their investments have been particularly focused on high-dividend equities, technology, innovative pharmaceuticals, and the military industry.
