Listed Insurers Expected to Bring Fat Returns to Investors

China's listed insurance companies are expected to bring fat returns to insurance stock investors in the coming years.

In the coming three years, the growth of the Chinese economy might slow down. Still, the sustainable economic growth can be realized. In addition, certain risks in the house market can be brought under control in the future.

This year, the subsequent installment premiums of China Life Insurance Co., Ping An Life Insurance Co. and China Pacific Life Insurance Co. are expected to keep a higher-than-20% growth.

Currently, Beijing-based China Life takes the leading position in terms of the outlets at county level; Shenzhen-based Ping An Life boasts high market shares in those economically developed first-tier cities; while China Pacific Life Insurance follows the top two ones by boosting the business in less developed second- and third-tier cities. They are guessed to compete further in the wealth management sector, in order to increase the premium revenues in the future.
