China Pacific Insurance’s, or CPIC's, trusted brand and extensive distribution network establish a strong foundation for steady long-term growth, thanks to continuing improvements in agent productivity and the company's stronger-than-peer capital position. However, challenges remain in the no-moat firm's near-term prospects.
The regulator has introduced solvency regulations that are more accommodating, including a lower risk weight to equity investment and the approval of perpetual bond issuance. We expect this should improve flexibility for future dividend payments.
The regulatory reduction in the commission rate paid to the bancassurance channel could lead to a further decline in sales over the near term, despite potentially better profitability in the long run.
