At the dawn of 2025, approximately 50 insurance fund institutions embarked on an active market research spree, scrutinizing nearly 100 listed companies over 160 times. Life insurance and pension insurance firms spearheaded this endeavor, with Ping An Pension leading the pack by investigating 25 companies. Insurance funds not only maintained their focus on banking stocks but also turned their attention to prominent enterprises within the technology growth sector. Notably, listed companies on the STAR Market and ChiNext accounted for nearly 40% of these investigations. The equity allocation strategy adopted by insurance funds is primarily "dumbbell-shaped," signifying equal emphasis on high-dividend large-cap blue-chip stocks and growth enterprises. Policies are encouraging insurance funds to enter the market, with high-dividend assets set to become the primary focus in the coming years. Concurrently, insurance funds perceive investment opportunities in growth sectors such as new energy, military industry, and innovative drugs, as well as in pro-cyclical consumer sectors, particularly leading enterprises in the home appliances and machinery industries.
