1. Frequent regulatory policies have reshaped the business of pension insurance companies, focusing on the main business of pension insurance
Currently, in my country’s three-pillar pension system, the first and second pillars have matured and entered a stage of stable development. With the issuance of the “Opinions on Promoting the Development of Personal Pensions” by the General Office of the State Council in April 2022, the third pillar of personal pension system has matured and entered a stage of stable development.

As a professional pension management institution approved by the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, pension insurance companies have been deeply involved in the construction of my country’s pension security system for a long time and have accumulated rich pension management experience. In the development of personal pensions, pension insurance companies have three unique advantages:
First, coordinate the development of the first, second and third pillar security systems.

Third, build an integrated solution for pension management and elderly care services.

Since 2021, regulatory authorities have also reshaped the development positioning and business structure of pension insurance companies, guiding pension insurance companies to return to their main pension business and focus on the development and innovation of long-term pension financial products. In December 2021, the former General Office of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the “Notice on Regulating and Promoting the Development of Pension Insurance Institutions” to promote pension insurance institutions to further focus on the main pension business and better serve the construction of a multi-level and multi-pillar pension insurance system.
