一、引言保险资金投资于基础设施项目建设,已成为世界保险业资金运用的一大潮流,很多发达国家寿险资金的运用涉及到桥梁、高速公路、能源、房地产等。在美国,基础设施项目等不动产投资往往占寿险公司投资组合的5%以上。我国在当前“西部开发、东北振兴、中部崛起、东部率先”的     

论我国保险资金基础设施投资及其风险管理

一、引言保险资金投资于基础设施项目建设已成为世界保险业资金运用的一大潮流,很多发达国家寿险资金的运用涉及到桥梁、高速公路、能源、房地产等。在美国,基础设施项目等不动产投资往往占寿险公司投资组合的5％以上。我国在当前“西部开发、东北振兴、中部崛起、东部率先”的区     

各国保险业资金运用比较

美国保险业 在类似于美国的资本市场发育程度较高的国家,寿险公司可以投资的信用工具范围非常广泛。截至2003年底,公司债券的数量占美国寿险公司总资产的61％,远远高于其他投资品所占的比例。公司债券一度是美国寿险公司资产中最大的一类资产,由于保险商寻求从信用工具中获得超额盈利,因此在2003年这类资产的绝对数量变得更高。保险公司的资产负债表分为总账户和独立账户两部分。独立账户是由保险公司建立的在法律上独     

如何计算基金的海外投资比重

晨星分析师克里斯多佛·大卫(Christopher Davis)在最近回答投资者提问时指出,最近次级债引发的市场动乱,使关于投资组合中应该配置多大比重的海外资产的争论,已经十分尖锐. 注册地不等于公司收入来源地 几十年以前,这个争论的答案相当简单,投资海外资产收益所占比例就是投资组合中在海外注册的公司的比重.但全球化已经打乱了公司所属国家的界限,一家公司的注册地已经不再能够正确地反映它的主要收入来源.     

家庭财务脆弱性、资产组合与人寿保险需求：指标改进和两部回归分析

先改进一个衡量家庭财务脆弱程度的指标,使其更具逻辑一致性和直观性,并讨论如何对指标构成元素赋值。进而利用微观数据采用两部模型研究中国家庭的寿险需求行为。研究发现,家庭是否持有寿险受到家庭财务相对脆弱程度的影响,但家庭财务风险绝对程度却没有显著影响已持有家庭的寿险持有水平。资产越多的家庭越会购买寿险,但是所持有寿险占家庭总资产的比重越低。家庭资产组合中,股票与寿险呈互补品,房产则挤出了家庭持有寿险。家庭户主及其配偶的平均年龄、教育程度对寿险占家庭总资产比重的影响并不显著。最后,讨论经验结果的产生机理并提出政策含义。     

对我国寿险公司建立资产波动准备金的设想

随着我国寿险资金投资渠道的逐步放开,对寿险投资资产的风险控制难度日益加大.目前监管部门对投资风险的控制在一定程度上降低了投资风险,但仍有不断增加的趋势.针对寿险公司现有的资产类型及未来的资产类型,可以设想建立资产估值准备金和利率维持准备金,以期增强我国寿险公司的财务稳定性和偿付能力.     

寿险公司投资现金流变动影响因素分析——以中国人寿为例

对寿险公司来说,投资收益是最重要的利润来源。然而,保险资产管理公司在接受委托进行投资时,投资现金流的变动将对资产管理公司投资组合配置产生巨大的影响。     

美国保险业资金运用

由于持续地面临不确定的市场风险,保险业普遍寻求将自有资金尽可能多地投向收益率较高的投资工具。在发达国家中,美国寿险公司的资产分配方案比较典型,债券,尤其是公司债券,占保险公司资产总额的比例较高。     

我国寿险公司资产配置研究

本文研究寿险公司的最优资产配置问题。与以往研究不同,本文基于寿险公司收益率分布的实证考察,结合法律法规对寿险资产投资的限制,建立寿险公司资产配置模型。首先建立保险公司的收益模型,以及投资比例和在险价值模型。为了完成对目标函数的刻画,利用水晶球软件对风险资产收益率序列进行分布匹配测试,分析收益率序列分布假设;最后,利用MATLAB优化软件包计算中国人寿的最优资产比例,并与其实际配置进行了比较分析。     

中美投资连接保险产品的会计处理比较

投资型寿险产品是指带有投资功能、保单责任准备金的报酬率与银行利率脱钩而与保险资金运用效果紧密联系、投资风险与收益由投保人与保险人共担的产品。投资连接保险最早产生于英国，而后在美国，投资型寿险产品得到了惊人的发展。由于股票市场的持续上涨，带动了投资型寿险产品的发展，从20世纪90年代起，投资连结保险在美国的保费年增长率达30％以上，到1995年已占个人寿险市场份额的22％。保险公司既可以购买外部基金管理公司的投资组合，也可以自己设立基金，     

我国保险资金投资境外不动产风险防控探析

自2012年10月保监会公布了保险资金可以投资境外的政策后,中国平安于2013年5月买下了英国伦敦地标性建筑劳合社大楼,正式拉开了保险资金投资境外不动产的帷幕。境外投资对保险公司而言,既是机遇,又是一个全新的挑战,在投资国内不动产的经验尚浅的情况下,保险公司应做好充分的准备,全面认识投资境外不动产面临的风险。本文将分析保险资金投资境外不动产的风险要素,为保险资金的运用提供建议。     

房地产上市公司融资模式对投资行为的影响

借鉴 Aivazianetal 简化投资模型建立了融资模式对投资行为影响的理论模型,基于1998~2012年的面板数据,实证研究不同产权属性和不同规模房地产上市公司融资模式对投资行为的影响。研究发现：房地产上市公司的债务融资会促使投资增长,而股权融资会减少投资,内源性融资与投资行为的相关性并不显著;国有房地产上市公司的投资行为更加积极;大规模房地产上市公司受外部融资约束更强。为此,应完善房地产上市公司治理结构、拓宽融资渠道。     

保险资金不动产投资模式研究

本文首先对国际上保险资金进行不动产直接投资和间接投资的情况进行了概述,然后对保险资金不动产投资模式进行了归纳总结和案例分析。在此基础上,对我国目前保险资金不动产投资政策与模式进行了探讨。最后,针对我国保险资金不动产投资业务的发展提出了相关建议。     

Life insurance companies as investment managers: New implications for consumers

This paper examines the attractiveness of the equity portfolios of life insurance companies as an alternative investment to mutual funds. In particular, this study analyzes the risk-adjusted investment performance of the stock portfolios of life insurance companies, attributable to their stock selection and market timing abilities. Using conventional measures of risk-adjusted portfolio performance, we find that life insurance companies exhibit performance similar to mutual funds. The evidence suggests that the life insurance companies, like their mutual fund counterparts, fail to exhibit differential stock selection or market timing abilities that are statistically significant. While the risk-adjusted investment performance of the two investment vehicles is similar, the variable annuity contracts of life insurance companies may offer an edge over mutual funds due to their ability to defer taxes.     

“偿二代”监管体系下寿险公司风险管理研究

随着经济发展进入新常态,已有的监管体系"偿一代"已无法适应当前以及未来寿险业风险管理的要求.2016年,以全面风险管理为导向的"偿二代"正式实施,给我国寿险公司的风险管理带来了深刻影响.为此,本文从负债端、资产端和公司风险管理三个方面分析"偿二代"对寿险公司风险管理的作用路径及影响.研究发现:在"偿二代"下寿险公司在负债端的风险管理重点应在于着力优化并调整产品结构,使得长期期缴业务成为核心;在资产端的风险管理重点应在于提升权益投资和另类投资比例;在公司的风险管理上应逐步加强完善风险管理框架,不断提高全面风险管理能力.     

Junk bonds,life insurer insolvency,and stock market reactions: The case of first executive corporation

The First Executive Corporation was the largest failure in the history of the life insurance industry. The company was one of the most aggressive purchasers of junk bonds through the 1980s and was the first of several large failures in the staid life insurance industry. In this article, we examine the effect of First Executive's failure on the value of companies in the life insurance industry. We find that the price of other life insurance companies' stock is negatively affected by the earnings announcement that preceded First Executive's failure. The magnitude of an individual company's reaction to First Executive's loss varies according to the proportion of the company's assets invested in junk bonds, the proportion of the company's assests invested in real estate, and the financial strength of the company as measured by A.M. Best's rating.     

Property Investment and Property Development Firm Performance Around Initial Public Offerings and Rights Offerings: U.K. Evidence

In contrast to the well-documented underperformance of equity issuers, property investment firms undertaking initial public offerings and rights issues have performed indistinguishably from similar nonissuing firms. Property development companies that issued equity over the same period performed significantly worse than nonissuing firms. The major difference between property development and property investment firms is that property investment firms hold portfolios of real estate assets and thus have more certain prices. The lower pricing uncertainty of property investment firms results in normal long-run performance. Tests of the cognitive bias hypothesis provide only weak support of this explanation, while size and book-market effects are unable to account for the performance of property investment and development companies. The findings of underperformance for rights issues suggest that timing equity issues to take advantage of new shareholders may not be linked to the existence of cognitive bias. An important finding for the international growth in securitized real estate markets is that no evidence is found suggesting equity issues of securitized real estate firms should be avoided.     

我国保险资金投资渠道创新讨论

随着我国金融市场的发展,我国保险资金投资的重要性和影响性与日俱增,保险投资的创新性要求也越来越明显,最主要原因在于保险的资产负债匹配性要求。与此同时,从国际惯例来看,保险资金投资多元化已是趋势,包括不动产等投资在其中占据相当大比重。我国保险投资创新工作经过几十年的发展,已经取得了较为显著的成效,但根据市场经济的要求,还需要进一步努力和提高,在加大投资创新力度的同时,相关的制度建设和人才储备也极为重要。     

The Determinants of Financial Health of Asian Insurance Companies

Previous studies of financial health of insurance companies are mainly focused on insurers operating in the United States and developed economies. This article focuses on the solvency of general (property‐liability) and life insurance companies in Asia using firm data and macro data separately. It uses different classification methods to classify the financial status of both general and life insurance companies. With the exception of Japan, failures of insurers in Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan are nonexistent. We find that, first, the factors that significantly affect general insurers' financial health in Asian economies are firm size, investment performance, liquidity ratio, surplus growth, combined ratio, and operating margin. Second, the factors that significantly affect life insurers' financial health are firm size, change in asset mix, investment performance, and change in product mix, but the last three factors are more applicable to Japan. Third, the financial health of insurance companies in Singapore seems to be significantly weakened by the Asian Financial Crisis. As the insurance industry in different Asian economies is at different stages of development, they require different regulatory guidelines.     

Determinants of Foreign Versus Domestic Real Estate Investment: Property Level Evidence from Listed Real Estate Investment Firms

We examine the determinants of foreign real estate investment relative to the domestic case using the portfolios of a large sample of publicly traded real estate investment companies; where foreign investment is defined as the property owner headquarters being located in a different country than a given asset. The cross-sectional results provide strong evidence that real estate firms are more likely to take a smaller stake in larger assets when investing abroad. The penchant for large assets holds when controlling for economic activity, real estate investment opportunities, depth and sophistication of the capital markets, investor protection and the legal framework, administrative burdens and regulatory limitations, and the socio-cultural and political environment at both the property nation and headquarter nation levels. In general, foreign ownership is less likely with industrial, office, retail, and self-storage properties. Capital market development is consistently negatively related to foreign investment.
