New China Life 1H net income 14.80B yuan

China Life Insurance, the nation's largest life insurer, has announced its financial performance for the first half of 2025, revealing a significant increase in net income. The company reported a net income of 14.8 billion yuan ($2.1 billion) for the period, representing a substantial growth compared to previous quarters [1].

The primary drivers of this growth include an expansion in policy sales and an increase in investment returns. The volatile stock market conditions in the first half of 2025, particularly the rally of the CSI 300 Index following a tariff truce with the US, have significantly benefited China Life’s investment portfolio [2]. The company's ability to capitalize on these market conditions has led to a substantial boost in its investment returns.

Additionally, the strong demand for savings products, driven by low interest rates, has contributed to the expansion of premium income. This dual impact of increased investment returns and robust policy sales has been instrumental in China Life’s financial performance for the first half of 2025.

China Life Insurance's strategic positioning in the market and its ability to navigate through challenging economic conditions have once again demonstrated its resilience and growth potential. As the company continues to adapt to evolving market dynamics, investors and financial professionals can expect China Life to maintain its strong performance in the coming quarters.
