Summary of Conference Call on Non-Banking Sector Industry Overview - The conference call focused on the non-banking sector, particularly the insurance and brokerage industries in China for the year 2025 [1][2][3]. Key Points and Arguments 1. **Market Activity and Performance**: The non-banking sector's performance in 2025 is driven by market trading activity, benefiting brokerage businesses, proprietary trading, and insurance companies' equity investment returns. The sector is expected to see a significant inflow of approximately 1,000 billion CNY due to new policies encouraging long-term holdings [1][2][8]. 2. **Regulatory Changes**: The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has optimized the equity allocation coefficient for insurance funds, potentially releasing around 108.6 billion CNY into the market. This policy encourages long-term stock holdings, particularly benefiting the CSI 300 and the CSI Dividend Low Volatility Index [1][4][10]. 3. **Insurance Companies' Position**: China Life is highlighted as having a high capital ratio for domestic equity price risk, suggesting significant potential for benefit from policy adjustments. China Ping An and New China Life, which have actively acquired bank shares, are also expected to gain from the optimized equity allocation [1][5][10]. 4. **Brokerage Recommendations**: The call recommends several brokerage firms, including Huatai Securities, Tonghuashun, and Dongfang Caifu, as they are well-positioned to perform well in the current market environment [1][6][12]. 5. **Challenges in the Insurance Sector**: The insurance industry faces a triangular dilemma involving solvency, equity allocation, and a low-interest-rate environment. Solutions include regulatory adjustments or capital increases. It is anticipated that insurance companies will increase capital in 2026 primarily due to regulatory encouragement to boost stock allocations [1][9][10]. 6. **Market Trends**: The performance of the non-banking sector can be divided into two phases in 2025. The first phase saw low trading volumes and declining long-term interest rates, leading to weaker performance in insurance and brokerage sectors. The second phase, particularly from May to August, experienced a rebound driven by strong mid-year reports from insurance companies and increased trading volumes [2][3][11]. 7. **Future Outlook**: The non-banking sector's future development will continue to be influenced by policy optimization and increased market trading activity. The focus will remain on long-term holdings, with specific recommendations for China Life, China Ping An, Huatai Securities, Tonghuashun, and Dongfang Caifu [1][8][12].
