Chinese Insurance – Outlook
China Life preferred: To Have its Own Version of Diversified Model
Strong result on gains, but what’s next? — 1H07 saw insurers deliver strong A
share-related gains, high dividend income from equity funds and stronger-thanexpected
premium growth in a difficult environment. While it is anyone’s guess
where the A-share market will be in 12 months, in this report, we recapitulate our
view on potential changes in regulatory environment and market structure, impact
on growth from rising interest rate and A-share market volatility. At current
valuations, we prefer China Life over Ping An as we expect China Life will catch up
in building its own version of a diversified financial model over the next 12 months
