Collective trusts that insurers are allowed to invest in are confined to those backed by financing assets and non-listed equity assets, according to draft rules posted on the website of China Insurance Regulatory Commission [CIRC].
Collective trusts backed by fixed-income assets that insurers are allowed to invest in should have a rating of at least “A” by a Chinese rating agency, according to the statement.
Chinese insurers are banned from investing in stand-alone trusts, and trusts backed by assets in industries that are prohibited by the government, the statement said.
The regulator is soliciting opinions on the draft rules.
