Within the year, the total issuance size of REITs exceeded 113 billion yuan, with the participation of insurance funds as a highlight.

Huatai Suzhou Hengtai Leasing Housing REIT will be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on May 21st, with insurance institutions actively participating in strategic investments in the REIT. Previously, Zhongjin Yizhuang Industrial Park REIT has obtained approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission for registration. Meanwhile, the expansion of several existing products and the declaration of new projects are steadily progressing. According to Wind Information data, seven REITs have been successfully issued so far this year, with a total issuance scale exceeding 11.3 billion yuan, indicating a high market heat. Six of these REITs have insurance institutions as strategic investors. Industry insiders predict that insurance funds will continue to be a key force in REITs market investment in the future. However, in practice, insurance funds participating in REITs investments also face some difficulties and require joint efforts to improve relevant systems.
