{I-bank focus}China Life sees two-digit growth in 2020 - MS

[ET Net News Agency, 21 November 2019] Morgan Stanley cited China Life Insurance
(02628) management on Morgan's Asia Pacific Summit guiding for double-digit VNB (value of
new business) growth in 2020.
Despite a high base in 2019 (trending at 20% VNB growth year-to-3Q), management is
confident that the strong momentum can be maintained into 2020 and is targeting
double-digit VNB growth again, the research house noted.
Pre-sales for the 2020 opening campaign has started from October and demand for
insurance savings has been solid even with a lower guaranteed rate (3.5% versus 4% in 1Q),
laying a good foundation for 2020 and gaining the sales force more time to focus on
higher-margin products next year.
China Life believes that over the medium term, mass agency model remains a suitable
strategy, especially in lower-tier cities, and as such it will continue to seek to expand
the sales force (1.95mn as end of 3Q).
Morgan maintained its "equal-weight" rating on the stock, with a target price of HK$22.
