B[The "amplifier" effect of investment appears, and many listed insurance companies have high profit growth in the first half of the year] August 27th, as of August 26, five listed insurance companies in A-shares and Hong Kong stocks have disclosed their "report cards" for the first half of 2026. During the reporting period, benefiting from the upturn in the equity market, the net profits attributable to parent companies of these listed insurance companies generally grew at a high rate. According to market participants, behind the high performance growth of related listed insurance companies in the first half of the year, the substantial growth in investment income was the main contributing factor. Since the implementation of the new accounting standards, more investment assets of insurance companies have been classified as FVTPL (measured at fair value with changes included in current profit and loss) assets. In particular, most technology stocks have been included in FVTPL, and their stock price fluctuations have significantly affected the profits of insurance companies. However, some people in the industry believe that the FVTPL classification is actually a "double-edged sword". When the equity market rises sharply, it will enhance the performance of insurance companies, and when the capital market adjusts, it will drag down the performance of insurance companies.
