傳保險業監管局要求保險公司將投資決策工作從新加坡搬回香港
《彭博》引述消息人士報道,香港保險業監管局由去年初起,一直在指導友邦(01299.HK)等香港部分大型人壽保險公司將投資決策工作遷回香港,因此前這些保險公司受新加坡提供的稅收優惠等激勵措施所吸引,將決策工作遷至新加坡。
消息人士稱,雖然香港保險業監管局允許這些公司將決策轉移至新加坡,但保險業監管局已表明希望在香港創造更多就業機會,包括來自保險公司、基金管理公司及律師事務所的職位。
保險業監管局表示,長期業務保險公司沒有法定要求必須在香港持有資產或在香港行使投資決策,但所有授權保險公司均應審慎管理其資產,避免風險過度集中。另外,監管局亦將適當考慮不同司法管轄區之間資本流動性的潛在法律及營運限制。
據悉,以友邦已將私募股權及全球股票策略中的資產從香港轉移到新加坡,而香港的管理部門主要負責管理在香港籌集的退休金。總部位於新加坡的AIA Investment Management Singapore
(AIAIM)擁有198名員工,截至去年底管理1,390億美元的資產,而同期友邦的總投資資產約為2,550億美元。
消息人士稱,友邦駐香港投資主管負責制定資產配置原則,並監督包括AIAIM在內的各個管理公司,但基金選擇決定權由新加坡投資團隊負責。
