"Hedge funds are aggressively buying up stocks, with the number of stakes held exceeding last year's total."

According to the incomplete statistics from the official website of the China Insurance Industry Association and publicly available information, as of August 19th, there have been 29 instances of insurance funds making tender offers this year, surpassing the total for the entire year of 2024. At the same time, the pilot projects for long-term investment of insurance funds are progressing in an orderly manner, with a total scale exceeding 222 billion yuan. In addition, insurance funds are also participating in the series A financing of innovative enterprises, playing the role of patient capital. Industry experts believe that the active participation of insurance funds in the capital market not only helps to increase the investment returns of insurance companies and alleviate the downward pressure on interest rates, but also contributes to the long-term and stable development of the capital market.
