Since the beginning of this year, insurance institutions have been conducting intensive research on listed companies. According to Wind statistics, as of June 5th, 148 insurance institutions have conducted a total of 3,825 research visits on over 3,000 stocks. Although this figure has declined compared to over 5,000 transactions in the same period last year, insurance funds are now entering the market with real money.
Key Players in Research
Seven insurance institutions, namely Ping An Pension, Changjiang Pension, China Life Pension, Taiping Pension, People’s Pension Insurance of China, Qianhai Life Insurance, and ABC Life Insurance, have all conducted more than 100 research visits this year. Ping An Pension has conducted the most research visits, reaching 289 times.
Industry and Stock Focus
From the perspective of industry distribution, popular industries such as biomedicine, integrated circuits, and electronic components have attracted much attention from insurance institutions. In terms of individual stocks, Xinji Energy has ranked among the top 10 stocks with the highest attention from insurance institutions. However, Xinji Energy’s performance has been poor, with its operating income and net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company both decreasing year – on – year in the first quarter of this year.
Long – Term Insurance Funds Entering the Market
The latest data from the Financial Regulatory Authority shows that as of the end of the first quarter of this year, insurance companies have invested 2.82 trillion yuan in the stock market, with a net purchase scale of nearly 390 billion yuan, marking the largest increase in holdings in a single quarter in recent years. Several private equity funds funded by insurance companies have been approved recently, indicating a significant increase in long – term capital activity in the capital market.
High – Dividend Assets to Benefit
According to a research report by Huachuang Securities, as of early June, the pilot scale of long – term stock investment by insurance funds will reach 222 billion yuan. The report further states that investing in assets with stable profit models and a long – term willingness to continuously distribute dividends helps insurance companies achieve an equity investment strategy of “seeking progress while maintaining stability.”
Market Sentiment and Valuation Recovery
Minsheng Securities’ research report holds that since the beginning of the year, the policy tone has been positive, with policies such as reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts being gradually implemented. This is expected to boost market sentiment and drive the continuous recovery of valuations. Long – term insurance funds continue to enter the market, and the equity investment side is expected to fully benefit from the growth of the long – term value of high – quality listed company targets.
Conclusion
Insurance institutions’ extensive research visits and the entry of long – term funds into the market highlight the increasing importance of high – dividend assets in the investment landscape. As insurance companies seek to optimize their investment portfolios, high – dividend assets are expected to benefit from the influx of long – term capital, driving market sentiment and valuation recovery.
