On October 13, CHINA LIFE fell 3.05% in regular trading, trading at HK$25.48 in early dealing and subsequently at HK$25.46, with turnover of HK$364 million.

The decline follows the announcement of the interim cash dividend distribution schedule, which places the A-share ex-dividend and cash distribution date on October 19. The company will distribute RMB 0.358 per A share, totaling approximately RMB 10.12 billion, against the backdrop of an upcoming H-share dividend payment on November 18.

Institutional positioning remains a key overhang. BlackRock's long position in CHINA LIFE H shares has fluctuated recently, with a reported off-exchange reduction reflecting the release of a share security interest. Although the change did not represent direct secondary-market selling, the reduction in disclosed long interest has weakened near-term sentiment.

Within the Life & Health Insurance sector, AIA rose 0.7%, PING AN fell 0.77%, NCI fell 0.68%, YUNFENG FIN rose 4.63%, and CHINA TAIPING fell 1.84%.
