On the news front, a Huachuang Securities report shows that, as of the first half of 2026, insurance funds' total invested assets reached RMB 40.8 trillion, with high-dividend holdings accounting for 74% of their equity allocation—a historical high. The broker estimates that incremental insurance capital entering the market in 2026 and 2027 will total about RMB 740-760 billion, of which potential dividend allocation demand is of the order of RMB 600 billion.

CHANGJIANG SECURITIES believes that dividend yields on dividend assets have trended weaker recently, and the yield advantage of Hong Kong dividend stocks over A-shares has narrowed markedly. The broker noted that, as of October 8, 2026, the CSI Dividend Index yielded 4.23% while the Stock Connect high-dividend index yielded 5.20%, leaving a gap of less than one percentage point; the Hang Seng Stock Connect China AH Premium Index stood at 126 over the same period, indicating that Hong Kong's valuation discount to A-shares has been substantially compressed and the relative appeal of Hong Kong dividend assets has weakened accordingly.
