In 2025, the net profit of non-listed life insurance companies surged to 66.6 billion yuan, but net assets shrank by nearly 10 billion yuan, indicating a structural divergence of "profit increase without capital increase." The median comprehensive investment return rate dropped from 8.39% to 2.73%. Several insurance companies, such as BOC Samsung Life and CEB Grand China Life, despite achieving record high net profits, saw a significant decline in net assets, reflecting the impact of new financial instrument standards and market conditions

- In 2025, non-listed life insurance companies reported a misleading profit surge, with total net profits soaring to 66.6 billion yuan, up 165% from 2024.  
- Despite this profit increase, the median comprehensive investment return plummeted to 2.73%, and industry net assets fell by nearly 10 billion yuan, indicating a structural divergence of "increased profits without increased assets."  
- The primary drivers of this phenomenon stem from market volatility and the shift to new accounting standards, which have led to extreme fluctuations in net profits compared to net assets.

Huang Xueling is expected to be appointed as the vice president of Bank of China. She has held several important positions at Central Huijin Investment Ltd. and has a rich financial background and experience. This appointment may be due to the dismissal of the former vice president Lin Jingzhen from the Party for serious disciplinary violations and his transfer to the procuratorial organs for review and prosecution

$XTALPI(02228.HK) Yesterday, Bank of China Hong Kong made a large number of &#34;buy&#34; orders, which should be depository receipts. It was probably a previous shareholder, such as China Life Insurance (I remember there was a similar shareholder) with holdings of approximately 235,560,969 shares, accounting for 5.86%. Comparing the number of shares transferred by BOC Hong Kong yesterday: 235 million shares. It's roughly the same. Since China Life Insurance is a state-owned enterprise, the probability of using BOC Hong Kong is the highest. I roughly guess it's their depository. It's likely that Pharmaron issued them stock certificates, converting paper certificates into electronic shares.
