On June 22, New China Life Insurance (01336.HK) fell 3.33% in regular trading, trading at 49.44 HKD/share, with turnover of 202 million HKD. The decline came as the insurance sector continued its pre-holiday weak trend.

On the news front, markets remain concerned about insurance companies' investment return outlook. New China Life Insurance's Q1 total investment income fell 57% year-over-year, with profit growth primarily driven by expense reductions rather than investment-side improvement. The company's relatively high equity asset allocation further pressures profit expectations as Q2 market volatility intensifies.

The broader insurance sector has declined over 20% year-to-date, significantly underperforming the broader market. Institutional analysts note that short-term capital flow disruptions continue, and valuation recovery following position clearing will require additional time. Within the Life and Health Insurance sector, AIA fell 0.41%, Ping An fell 0.84%, China Taiping fell 1.08%, and Sunshine Insurance fell 1.89%, while China Life edged up 0.14%.
