【摘要】 银行业、证券业和保险业是构成我国金融体系的三大支柱行业,新中国成立60年来,三大行业得到了迅速却不平衡的发展。相对于银行业和证券业来说,我国保险业的发展还处于比较落后的状态。保险业的快速发展对促进金融体系和谐发展有着极其重要的作用。而保险业的发展,不仅取决于保险承保业务的规模与效益,还与保险资金投资绩效密切相关。因此,优化我国保险投资结构,提高我国保险资金的投资效果,是促进我国保险业快速发展进而推动我国金融业发展的关键所在。此外,保险资金投资的合理化,对于充分发挥我国保险机构作为机构投资者的作用,促进我国资本市场的稳定发展,以及提高保险业的整体竞争水平也起着至关重要的作用。自我国保险业恢复以来,保险资金投资经历了无投资阶段、无序投资阶段和逐步完善阶段。在保险资金无投资阶段,我国保险市场供应处于垄断阶段,保险市场供应的主要是产险产品。产险产品资金的特征及其规模很小,对保险资金的投资压力较小。这一时期保险公司的资金基本上都以银行存款的方式进入了银行。在保险资金无序投资阶段,保险市场供应主体迅速增加,保险资金的规模也不断扩大,激发了保险业对资金投资的需求。同时,我国资本市场的迅速发展,为保险资金投资提供了现实的投资渠道。但由于没有专门的保险监管机构,缺乏详细的法规限制和配套的风险控制体系,加上我国资本市场规制也不完善,该阶段的保险资金投资处于无序状态。在保险资金投资逐步完善阶段,1998年11月中国保险监督管理委员会正式成立,代替中国人民银行对保险业实行独立统一的监管,保险监管更加专业化。在这一阶段,保险投资渠道不断拓宽,保险投资工具迅速增长,保险投资结构也更趋合理。任何一种投资决策都可以用马克维茨理论及其思想进行指导,保险资金的投资是众多投资活动中的一种,当然也离不开Markowitz投资组合理论和最优化思想。但是,保险资金与一般的投资资金相比,具有其特殊性,即安全性、流动性与收益性。所以,运用马克维茨投资理论指导保险资金最优投资模型构建时,不能机械套用,要在原有理论模型的基础上进行适当修改,使之更符合保险资金投资的具体情况。这样建立的模型和求出的最优解才更具有实际应用价值。在论文的第四部分,作者首先分析了目前影响我国保险资金投资的主要因素。其中,通过系统分析已有文献对承保收益的处理方法,作者认为承保收益不能简单地加入收益目标函数中,应该对其进行单独研究。在分析保险政策限制因素时,文章将现有法规允许的主要投资渠道都纳入到了优化范围内,并首次加入了不动产投资渠道,力求在最大的投资品种范围内达到我国保险资金投资结构的最优。第四部分的另一个重点内容是选取适合保险资金投资的风险度量指标。作者通过比较各类证券投资风险度量指标的优缺点,最终采用了VaR指标,并且选取历史模拟法和公式法分别计算单个资产与投资组合的在险价值。最后,以投资组合的在险价值最小化代替马克维茨模型中的方差最小化作为目标函数,以影响我国保险投资的限制因素作为约束条件,文章建立了符合我国实际情况的保险资金最优投资模型。文章的第五部分是实证分析。作者用证券市场上的相关指数来代表模型中各投资品种的表现,通过2005年4月到2009年7月代表指数的历史收盘价格,计算出了各代表指数的月收益率数据,也即保险资金投资资产种类的期望收益率,并由此得出了模型中的其他数据。为了强调投资风险的重要性,文章将保险最优投资模型中的风险目标函数转换为约束条件,并设定了不同的资金损失率水平,然后利用MATLAB优化工具箱求出了模型的最优解,即我国保险资金的最优投资结构。对于该最优投资结构,本文还做了进一步的对比分析,并得出几个重要结论:我国保险资金投资结构仍需进一步改善;增加不动产投资渠道使保险公司所面临的投资组合有效边界向左上方移动了,即在同等的风险水平下,保险投资组合可获得更高的收益;必须严格限制不动产投资比例。这三个结论和本文求出的保险资金最优投资结构都是在实证的基础上得到的,对我国保险资金今后的投资行为有一定的实际参考价值。

【Abstract】 Banking,securities and insurance are the three major industries in Chinese financial system.Their growth has been rapid but uneven in the 60 years since the founding of P.R.C.The insurance industry is still behind from the other two.The rapid development of the insurance industry has an extremely important role on promoting the harmony of our financial system.The development of insurance industry depends not only on the size and profit of underwriting,but also closely on the investment performance.Therefore,optimizing the investment structure and improving the investment performance are the keys to promote the development of our country’s insurance,even the finance,industry.Additionally,the rationalization of insurance investment is also very important for insurance companies to playing an institutional investor role,for promoting stable capital market and raising the overall competition level of insurance industry in China.Since the industry was restarted in China,it has experienced three periods of no investment,disordered investment and gradually improved.In the period of no investment,the insurance supply market is monopoly,it mainly supplies property insurance.There is small stress for the insurance investment.The insurance funds were deposited into the bank.In the period of disorder investment,the number of insurance companies was increased rapidly.The size of insurance funds was also expanded.They stimulated investment needs.And the rapid development of Chinese capital market provided a realistic investment channels.However,there was no specific insurance regulator,less detailed regulatory and risk control system.The capital market regulation is not perfect also.So,the insurance funds were invested disorderly.In the third period,China Insurance Regulatory Commission was formally established in November 1998,replacing the People’s Bank to regulate insurance industry.The insurance regulation is more professional.And in this period,the investment channels are broaden continuously,the investment vehicles grow rapidly, the structure of insurance investment is also more reasonable.Any investment decision can be carried out with the Markowitz Theory and its ideological guidance.Insurance investment is one of investment activities,and can be guided by them certainly.But there are some features in insurance funds:safety, liquidity and profitability.So,the Markowitz portfolio theory can’t be applied directly. It must be changed appropriately.Thus,the optimal investment model is more in accordance with the facts.And the solution is more practically valuable.In the fourth section,it is firstly analyzed that the main factors which are impacting the Chinese insurance investment currently.In this process,after the systematic analysis of the ways using the underwriting income in the existing literatures,the author believes that it can’t be simply added to the revenue objective function.It is also believed that the underwriting income should be studied separately. In the process of analyzing the policy limiting to insurance investment,all main investment channels allowed by the existing regulations are in the scope of optimizing. It is the first time to involve real estate.The purpose is to find the optimal insurance investment structure within the largest range.Another focus in PartⅣis selecting appropriate indicator measuring the risks of insurance investment.By comparing various risk measurements,VaR is used finally.The historical simulation method and the formula method are selected to calculate the value at risk of individual asset and portfolio.Finally,using the minimum value at risk instead of variance of the portfolio as the objective function in Markowitz model,and using the factors affecting Chinese insurance investment as constraints,the optimal model of insurance investment in accordance with China’s actual situation was established.The fifth part is empirical analysis.The relevant stock market indices were used to represent the assets’ performance.The index’s return data,which represent the expected return of assets invested,are calculated with their historical monthly closing prices from April 2005 to July 2009.Thus,the other data are obtained.In order to emphasize the importance of investment risk,the risk objective function is converted to one constraint of the optimal insurance investment model,and it is given some different values.Using the optimization toolbox in MATLAB,the optimal solution is derived.That means,the optimal structure of insurance investment in China is obtained.There is a further comparative analysis on the basis of the optimal structure above.And several important conclusions are drawn from the analysis:The investment structure in Chinese insurance need to be further improved;The insurance companies face a higher portfolio efficient frontier after the real estate investment channel is added,that is,the companies can achieve a higher return at the same level of risk;The ratio of real estate invested must be strictly limited.The three conclusions before and the optimal structure of insurance investment are based on the facts in China.So,they have some practical values for future investment behavior of insurance in practice.
