Nearly 80% of Equity Insurance Asset Management Products Recorded Negative Returns in Q3

In the third quarter of 2026, equity insurance asset management products faced significant pressure on returns. On October 10, statistics revealed that among approximately 270 such products disclosing Q3 data, nearly 80% posted negative returns for the quarter. Industry experts attribute the widespread negative performance to a sharp pullback in China's A-share market during Q3. They note that fluctuations in insurers' profits are primarily driven by investment results, with equity investment returns having a substantial impact on net profit. Consequently, listed insurance companies are expected to face considerable pressure regarding their Q3 earnings performance. (Shanghai Securities News)
