Nearly 80% of equity-type insurance asset management products posted negative returns in the third quarter.

In the third quarter of 2026, the performance of equity-based insurance asset management products came under notable pressure. On October 10, according to a reporter's tally, among roughly 270 equity-based insurance asset management products that disclosed third-quarter data, nearly 80% posted negative returns in the third quarter. Industry insiders believe that the sharp correction in the A-share market in the third quarter led to widespread negative returns for equity-based insurance asset management products, while fluctuations in insurers' profits are mainly driven by investment, with equity investment returns in particular having a significant impact on net profit. It can be foreseen that listed insurers will face considerable pressure from declining performance in the third quarter.
