[Caixin] Recently, volatility has appeared in the publicly traded equity markets, and the market is paying close attention to the role of insurance funds in them. Market analysis suggests that some insurance funds may have reduced their holdings due to the 2025 Q1 solvency assessment they face.

On March 26, China Life held its 2025 annual performance briefing. After the meeting, a China Life representative told Caixin that China Life’s solvency is sufficient and that it would not, as described in the aforementioned market analysis, adjust its equity positions due to solvency and claims-payment capacity. “Solvency is not a constraint for us at the moment.”

Earlier market rumors had mentioned that the Ministry of Finance might issue RMB 200 billion in special treasury bonds to inject capital into insurance companies such as China Life. The representative said they had not heard of this information.
