Low volatility ETF Huatai Bairui surged against the trend, with a half-day trading volume of 800 million leading the same category. Insurance funds increased their allocation to high dividend stocks, which may become the main theme in 2026.

On March 3rd, the market started low and rebounded in the morning. The Shanghai Composite Index broke through the phase high of January 14th and then fell back. Against this background, the dividend low volatility ETF Huatai Bairui rose against the trend by 1.61%, closing at 1.202 yuan, with a turnover rate of 2.69% in the morning and a turnover of 8.05 billion yuan, ranking first among similar ETFs. In terms of news, the military strikes by the United States against Iran have lasted for more than 60 hours, and the conflict continues to escalate. Influenced by the situation, global capital markets have become more volatile, and risk aversion sentiment has significantly increased. Data shows that the willingness of insurance capital to allocate equity is increasing, with technology and high dividends becoming the "dual main themes." As of the end of February, insurance companies and insurance asset management companies have conducted a total of nearly 1300 research visits to A-share listed companies since 2026. Although the total number of visits has decreased compared to the same period last year, the concentration of research targets has significantly increased, with technology and high dividends becoming the two key words. Huatai Securities pointed out that the growth of insurance capital liabilities in 2026 is expected to remain strong, with overall new investable funds possibly reaching 3.1 trillion yuan, and secondary equity investments expected to reach 0.9 trillion yuan. Dividend stocks remain an important direction for insurance capital equity allocation. On the one hand, the importance of cash dividends for insurance companies is increasing, and on the other hand, after the equity position reaches a historical high, it is necessary for insurance capital to reduce the volatility of equity assets. High-dividend assets have outstanding long-term allocation value. Investors can participate in the dividend low volatility ETF Huatai Bairui through regular investment to smooth out risk fluctuations. Investors without stock accounts can also allocate through its over-the-counter linked funds.
