In the first three quarters even the risk of return for "miserable" selling "light"

While the rate of return is declining, on the other side is a lot of insurance companies to stop selling one after another, and even dangerous to vote in this year's performance can be "bleak" to describe. In the first three quarters of this year, even for the most dangerous enterprise value of the account-net has been playing on the break, the loss of more than 30% of it is not uncommon. Investors can find comfort, cast even the performance of the insurance or slightly better than some of the market and equity funds.

When the nest is difficult to survive

"Business News" statistical sample of the total premium market share and last year was a good part of the proceeds of insurance data found that the company can not directly vote to determine the nature of the risk even aggressive type of investment account the ability of different companies Large extent, is "not much to choose between."

Our reporter in the statistics part of the insurance companies and accounts, as of last September's announcement of a date (Sept. 26), progressive-life accounts of life 1 and 2 on the day of the net even though this year's first notice day (1 2) the net value of 1.5996 yuan and 1.5231 yuan has been a lot of losses, but still above the 1 yuan; Taikang Life of positive growth compared with the same at the beginning of the decline in many, but also to 0.9790 yuan's relatively good Out the top results. However, Pacific Life's blue-chip growth, Hai Kang Life's great wealth-preferred accounts such as the performance is very far-fetched, the day of Sept. 26 have fallen below the net value of 0.700 yuan, joined the "6" in the first of the series.

No good results, it will not so popular these days. Analysis of risk even for the major sales channels channels of data security that the Bank may have to see one or two. Shanghai, for example, the first 8 months of Chinese-funded enterprises accounted for Bancassurance business market share of the top five, who are healthy, Xinhua, Taikang, the country life and Taibao, foreign investment in the Luen Thai city in a row Sixth place. Bank-funded companies in premium income for insurance business 12,863,000,000 yuan, 2,387,000,000 yuan for foreign companies, foreign investment in the ratio of 84:16. This year, foreign investment in life insurance business growth in the Bank's greater contrast, the capital of 222.46 percent year-on-year growth, foreign investment 34.47 percent year-on-year negative growth.

This is because despite the moratorium on the sale of company-funded initiative to reduce or even dangerous for sale, but there is universal risk insurance as a supplement and dividends; as a result of foreign insurance companies to set up a short time, small-scale, there is no match for the universal insurance can dividends and the risk of Assets, it can only be "brazen", or turn to other types of product sales, investment and insurance have been abandoned even became indisputable fact.

The performance is still far better than the market

Even with the market for insurance and the vast majority of partial-stock funds are compared to "where you win a fight," In fact, insurance companies and investment strategy and even the risk of investment properties. In addition, various insurance Even issued for the account of the risk related to the strategy report, in particular, there is no exaggeration to see "Let's eyes."

Ping An Life Insurance's selection of the rights and interests of account set up night time, since the establishment of six months can show that the company's investment strategy in August that the market's macroeconomic remained pessimistic view of the background, while corporate profits will not be the trend Change; at the same time the size of the non-real estate bubble and so on the remaining issues on the market, the growing impact of upstream sectors of the economy remained at a high point, the overall trend in the market for quite a long time in the future will not change. As the sales market, relatively cheap valuation, the management of the economic growth of more and more concerned about the high number of transactions and there will be an opportunity, will choose to increase their positions.

Life-life account of the progress this year, suffered heavy losses, but all the same last year, the best performance of the account. From the first nine months cumulative account performance, Series 1 and 2 series win over the accounts are open-end funds. In general, this year, the company's enterprise-type accounts and balance-of decreased account for open-end funds rate down to 70% and 50% of the market.

The company is currently on the market to determine the current underestimate the stock market has been in the region, underestimated the rate of about 20%, it is now entering long-term investors a good opportunity to cover positions or positions, "after all, no one can invest in the bottom of the risk of future lies in the fact that Will be at the bottom of a long, or at the bottom of it is really true that after the short-term investors that a rebound out, to miss the next bull market.

Universal insurance is facing downward pressure on interest rates dividend risk insurance sales force into silver

As the capital markets fell sharply, with close ties to vote even dangerous products sales experience "cold", the bank sales channel will start to focus on dividend-insurance products. Experts said that consumers buy insurance products or to focus on security functions in the current market environment, not the pursuit of high-yield, but pay attention to risk control.

Universal insurance rates under downward pressure

Western reporters yesterday came to the door of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of the Office business, the display counter of the two materials are dividends products. When a reporter's question whether the right insurance products recommended, the network of financial planning room staff recommendation to buy insurance dividends, "the product of a stable income, in addition to recover after the expiry of the principal, but also to enjoy a certain proportion of Dividends. "

In the financial management of insurance products, investment and even risk being dragged down the stock market's weak performance, and universal insurance settlement rate is also facing constant downward pressure by a relatively small impact on the stock market, robust income dividend risk gradually attracted the attention of consumers.

The so-called risk sharing, refers to the insurance company in each fiscal year after the end of the fiscal year dividend of such insurance could be allocated surplus, according to a certain portion of the cash dividend or a dividend value-added approach to the allocation of a client's life Insurance. Dividends is a function of life insurance.

It is understood that the current risk of a dividend distribution of dividends are mainly in two ways, by the amount of cash dividends and bonus. The former is in the form of direct cash surplus will be allocated to policy holders. At present, most domestic insurance companies to take this approach. The dividend increase is the whole insurance period each year in order to increase the amount of insurance the way dividend distribution.

It is necessary to remind the public that despite the steady dividend income insurance, but the product does not promise at the end of insurance proceeds, the level of dividends depends entirely on the state of operations, a loss if the company is likely to lower the level of dividends or even stop the dividend. Therefore, sales staff can not undertake the level of dividends, or else they would belong to the misleading sales.

Due to the recent central bank rate cut in a row, and many worry that its dividend policy holders will be affected by interest rates, dividends and time deposit products with the bank or bonds were compared. Sun Yat-sen University Risk Management and Insurance Department of dawn, Professor Shen told reporters that the above-mentioned products between each other can not be replaced, nor have comparable insurance is to protect the core.

Emphasis should be placed on security functions

This reporter has learned that dividend risk is to invest our money in bonds, deposits, funds and large-scale infrastructure construction projects, such as relatively stable, with bank deposits accounted for the bulk agreement is very important proportion. Therefore, the interest rate will be reduced to a certain extent, investment income of insurance companies. But analysts said that despite the rate cut into the channel, but because of large deposits in the agreement to cut interest rates before the lock, the insurance companies the impact is difficult to say.

Shen Shuguang, a professor said that insurance products, consumers should focus on security features, do not just look at short-term return on their investment.

Earlier this year, the companies announced last year, dividends are high-risk dividend rate, China Life is to reach 8%. However, Guoxin Securities research report points out that interest rates this year into the "cut" channel, it is expected that the 2008 dividend rate is not high.



Weekly financial correspondent of the Yellow River from the Department of lecturers that: "The rate cut on the impact of insurance to insurance companies in accordance with the investment channels. In theory, after the rate cut, with the exception of bank deposits, other investment vehicles earnings are expected to rise. The dividend is based on the overall earnings may be, it is necessary to know the dividend changes, it is necessary to know the various investment channels for insurance proceeds, it is very difficult to achieve. "



"Adjustable dividends, although there is the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, but so do high-low, is determined by the insurance companies. Insurance companies generally will be in the years between the smooth earnings, the dividend will be done to stabilize the restructuring, the company is just different standards Not the same. "Said the Yellow River.

Miss Gao sighed and said: "Each year on a regular basis to pay such a sum of money, can not eat, can not move, little of the return of gold, might as well buy other products with a higher income."



But there are also different views, Xinhua insurance sales people to accept a financial reporter during an interview on the weekly said: "With the bank deposit interest rates, weak capital markets, customers will be expected to reduce the dividend, bonus little impact on the stability of the business. "



CHEN Dong-mei, an associate professor of Fudan University Department of Insurance to accept financial weekly interview with reporters, said: "Now the insurance product is a higher degree of homogeneity in the short term customers may be relatively simple and yield. But in the long run, dividend income insurance is not transparent, in the range of traditional life Risk-based insurance and investment between.

Weekly financial reporter from the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the "individual insurance actuarial dividends" to see: In addition to the insurance companies to send dividends to its customers notice, shall not be disclosed to the public or advertising of dividends insurance operating results or the level of dividends.



Uneven protection, short-term high premium



Concerned about the risk in dividend income, dividend insurance protection functions do? Central University of Finance and Economics Department of Insurance Professor Hao Yansu has said: "compared to the pure type of insurance protection products, most of the dividend risk protection features are low."



The above-mentioned major life insurance company in charge of selling Mr. Chen said: "At present, the major risk insurance dividends safeguards vary, the coverage of different sizes. Only some death or total disability protection, and some can not be additional accident insurance or Insurance major diseases, such insurance is imperfect. "



On the distribution of dividends, Mr. Chen said: "At present, to receive dividends in four main ways, namely, to receive cash, a total interest-earning, s premium and the amount purchased by insurance. Policyholder if the anxious to get cash, they can choose To receive cash; if we do not hurry to get cash, with the option to purchase a total interest-bearing or by the amount of insurance. If the cash flow shortage can be s dividend premium. "



"There are less than dividends products, and some insurance to pay dividends short period of high premiums, and cash poor. For the short term cash needs of large families, the recommendations should not be too much money for the purchase of insurance dividends."



Then what kind of person for the purchase of dividends from insurance? "If the Chinese insurance funds, stable, long-term there is no intention of spending a large sum, or to prepare for retirement, insurance dividends also be a good choice." Mr. Chen said.
