Goldman Sachs has issued a research report reviewing Chinese insurers' FY25 results and updating its view on the sector.

As life insurers' net investment yields saw a deeper-than-expected decline of 32 bps to 2.94% on average, the guaranteed return rates on life insurance policies of around 2.7-2.8% in 2026 may imply limited investment spread, with most future investment gains or losses likely to be driven by capital gains or losses.
