INVESTMENT INCOME
The Company’s insurance funds investment portfolio achieved an annualized comprehensive investment
yield of 4.2% in the first half of 2024, up by 0.1 pps year on year mainly due to a balanced asset allocation
strategy and a year-on-year improvement in the performance of equity assets. Annualized net investment
yield declined by 0.2 pps year on year to 3.3% mainly because existing assets matured partially and yields to
maturity on newly added fixed income assets were lower.
Average investment yields on the Company’s insurance funds investment portfolio are as below:
2021-2023 2014-2023
Life & Health’s and property and casualty insurance business’s annualized investment yields in the first half
of 2024 are as below:

Ping An P&C
Net investment yield(4) (annualized, %) 3.0 3.6 –0.6 pps
Total investment yield(4) (annualized, %) 3.3 3.4 –0.1 pps
Comprehensive investment yield(4) (annualized, %) 3.4 3.5 –0.1 pps
Notes: (1) Net investment income includes interest income from deposits and debt financial assets, dividend income from equity financial
assets, operating lease income from investment properties, and the share of profits and losses of associates and joint ventures.
(2) Net realized and unrealized gains include capital gains on securities investments and fair value gains or losses.
(3) Comprehensive investment income excludes a fair value change of RMB151,010 million in debt investments at fair value through
other comprehensive income backing Life & Health business in the first half of 2024.
(4) Average investment assets used as the denominator are computed in line with principles of the Modified Dietz method. In the
computation of annualized investment yields, only interest revenue from deposits and debt financial assets, and operating
lease income from investment properties are annualized, while interest revenue from financial assets purchased under
reverse repurchase agreements, interest expenses on assets sold under agreements to repurchase and placements from
banks and other financial institutions, dividend income, capital gains on investments, and fair value gains or losses are not
annualized. Computation of investment yields excludes changes in fair values of debt investments at fair value through other
comprehensive income backing Life & Health business.
The Company manages risks in debt schemes and debt wealth management product investments at
three levels. The first level is asset allocation. The Company has developed a set of rational, effective
asset allocation models. While keeping overall risks within the risk appetite, the Company formulates a
strategic asset allocation plan for each account, and sets upper and lower limits on the proportions of asset
allocation. In tactical asset allocation, the Company gives opinions on capital allocation to debt schemes
and debt wealth management products according to the funding level in each account, the required return
and liquidity, and similar assets’ relative attractiveness. The second level is internal credit risk management.
The Company has established a comprehensive credit analysis methodology, an excellent internal credit
analysis team, and a robust investment admittance management process. All investment instruments must
meet the conditions for admittance specified by the Company’s internal credit rating team, and must be
approved by a relevant committee. The third level is post-investment management. The Company ensures
adequate assessment and dynamic management of risks in investment assets by closely monitoring
investments and strictly conducting rapid risk identification, reporting, mitigation and disposal.
Structure and Yield Distribution of Debt Schemes and Debt Wealth Management Products
Investment Nominal yield Remaining
Industry proportion (%) (%) maturity (year)
The Company pays close attention to credit risk in the market, ensuring the overall risks of debt schemes
and debt wealth management products held by Ping An in its insurance funds investment portfolio are
under control. Debt schemes and debt wealth management products in the Company’s insurance funds
investment portfolio have good credit ratings. Over 96.4% of the debt schemes and trust schemes held by
Ping An have AAA external ratings, and about 0.9% of them have AA+ external ratings. Aside from some
high-credit entities which do not need credit enhancement for financing, the vast majority of the assets
held by the Company have guarantees or collateral. In terms of industry and geographic distribution, Ping
An proactively avoids high-risk industries and regions. Ping An’s target assets are diversified, mainly in the
non-banking financial services industry, the expressway industry and so on in economically developed and
coastal areas including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong.
The Company has further strengthened investment rules and processes. To continuously optimize end-to-
end risk management, the Company has standardized its business processes, improved its investment risk
management framework, and enhanced key processes including risk admittance strategies, credit rating,
counterparty and issuer credit facility management, concentration management, risk monitoring, and
emergency management. Moreover, the Company employs technologies to empower the management of
key post-investment matters and constantly optimizes its risk warning platform. Based on consolidated
statements of investment portfolios, the Company monitors comprehensive risk signals covering market
fluctuations, public sentiment, financial changes and so on, and closely watches forward-looking indicators
automatically generated by systems. By using smart analytics models, the Company conducts rapid risk
identification, reporting, mitigation and disposal.
The Company further strengthens substantive risk management in addition to meeting regulatory
requirements concerning investment concentration. The Company improves policies and procedures for the
management of investment concentration in a prudent, comprehensive, dynamic, and independent manner.
The Company optimizes the Group’s and its member companies’ investment concentration limits. Moreover,
the Company enhances the setting, using, warning, and adjustment mechanisms of credit limits for major
clients and the monitoring and management of key sectors and risk areas. In this way, the Company
prevents the risk of investment overconcentration in certain counterparty(ies), sector(s), region(s), and
asset class(es) to avoid potential indirect threats to the Company’s solvency, liquidity, profitability or
reputation.
The Company keeps a close eye on the market credit conditions, and strengthens research and forward-
looking analysis on credit risk. The Company constantly upgrades its risk monitoring framework and risk
management information system, and improves its risk management databases. In this way, the Company
ensures systematic management of risks in asset-liability matching and investment portfolios.

In accordance with the related provisions of the Rules for the Compilation of Information Disclosures by
the Companies Offering Securities to the Public (No. 4) – Special Provisions on Information Disclosures
by Insurance Companies, the Company has engaged Ernst & Young (China) Advisory Limited to review
the reasonableness of the methodology, assumptions and calculation results of the Company’s analysis of
embedded value as of June 30, 2024.
The calculation of the analysis of embedded value relies on a number of assumptions with respect to
future experience. Future experience may vary from that assumed in the calculation, and these variations
may be material. The market value of the Company is measured by the value of the Company’s shares on
any particular date. In valuing the Company’s shares, investors take into account a variety of information
available to them and their own investment criteria. Therefore, these calculated values should not be
construed as a direct reflection of the actual market value.
The Standards for Actuarial Practice: Valuation Standard for Embedded Value of Life Insurance (the
“Standards”) issued by the China Association of Actuaries became effective in November 2016. The
Company has disclosed the interim embedded value for 2024 in accordance with the Standards and China
Risk Oriented Solvency System (“C-ROSS”).
Value of one year’ s new business after cost of capital 33,288 31,080
Value of first half year’ s new business after cost of capital 22,320 20,112
Notes: (1) NBV for both the current period and the same period last year is based on the end-2023 long-run investment return
assumption (4.5%) and risk discount rate (9.5%).
(2) Figures may not match the calculation due to rounding.
The adjusted net asset value of the life and health insurance business is based on the unaudited
shareholders’ net asset value of the relevant life and health insurance business of the Company as
measured in compliance with the Standards. This shareholders’ net asset value is calculated based on the
shareholders’ net asset value as measured in accordance with China Accounting Standards (CAS) and
adjusted for relevant differences including reserves. The adjusted net asset value of other business is based
on the shareholders’ net asset value of the relevant business of the Company in accordance with CAS.
The relevant life and health insurance business includes business conducted through Ping An Life, Ping
An Annuity and Ping An Health Insurance. The values placed on certain assets have been adjusted to the
market values.
Key Assumptions
The assumptions used in the embedded value calculation as at June 30, 2024 have been made on a “going
concern” basis, assuming continuation of the economic and legal environment currently prevailing in China.
The calculation is in line with the Standards and capital requirement under C-ROSS. Certain portfolio
assumptions are based on the Company’s own recent experience as well as considering the more general
China market and other life insurance markets’ experience. The principal bases and assumptions used in the
calculation are described below:
2. Investment return
For non-investment-linked insurance funds, the future annual investment return is assumed to be 4.5%.
For investment-linked funds, future investment returns have been assumed to be slightly higher than
the above non-investment-linked fund investment return assumption. These returns have been derived
by consideration of the current capital market conditions, the Company’s current and expected future
asset allocations and associated investment returns for a range of major asset classes.
3. Taxation
A 25% average income tax rate has been assumed. The percentage of investment returns that can be
exempted from income tax has been assumed to be 20%.
4. Mortality
The experience mortality rates have been based on the China Life Insurance Mortality Table (2010-2013)
and the Company’s most recent experience studies. They are tailored to be product specific and future
mortality improvement has been taken into consideration for annuity products.
6. Discontinuance
Policy discontinuance rates have been based on the Company’s recent experience studies. The
discontinuance rates are pricing interest rate and product type specific.
7. Expense
Expense assumptions have been based on the Company’s most recent expenses investigation.
Expense assumptions mainly consist of acquisition expense and maintenance expenses assumptions.
The unit maintenance expense was assumed to increase by 2% per annum.
8. Policyholder dividend
Policyholder dividends have been based on 75% of the interest and mortality surplus for individual
participating business. For group participating business, dividends have been based on 80% of interest
surplus only.
EV operating profit of L&H in the first half of 2024 was RMB64,114 million, mainly comprised of the NBV and
expected return on opening EV.
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The Company has investigated the effect, on the embedded value of the Group, embedded value of the life
and health insurance business and the value of one year’s new business, of certain independently varying
assumptions regarding future experience. Specifically, the following changes in assumptions have been
considered:
The discount rate used for the measurement of insurance contract liabilities in life and health insurance
business is determined based on observable current market interest rates that reflect the characteristics of
insurance contracts. In order to optimize the match between assets and liabilities, the Company chooses to
classify some debt investments backing the business as debt investments measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income. When measuring operating metrics, we exclude the fair value changes
of debt investments backing life and health insurance business measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income, as well as the financial changes of insurance contract liabilities recognized in other
comprehensive income that may be reclassified subsequently into profit or loss, to reflect the essence of
the Company’s asset liability management, except for the relevant part of the business subject to the VFA.
The financial changes in insurance contract liabilities subject to the VFA are matched with the fair value
changes of the underlying assets backing this type of business. Therefore, no adjustments are made when
operating metrics are measured.
• The impact of one-off material non-operating items and others is the impact of material items that
management considered to be non-operating incomes and expenses. Such impact in the first half of
2024 and the first half of 2023 comprised the revaluation gain or loss on the convertible bonds issued
by Lufax Holding to the Company.
Notes: (1) Insurance finance income or expenses of liabilities subject to the VFA match the changes in the fair value of the underlying
items backing such business. Therefore, no adjustment is made when operating metrics are measured.
(2) Operating profit for the current period and the same period last year is calculated based on the end-2023 long-run investment
return assumption (4.5%).
The Group’s operating profit after tax attributable to shareholders of the parent company in the first half
of 2024 was RMB78,482 million, down 0.6% year on year, with an annualized operation ROE of 16.4%. L&H
operating profit after tax attributable to shareholders of the parent company was RMB54,657 million, up 0.7%
year on year, with an annualized operation ROE of 29.4%.

Dividend payouts of the parent company are decided by taking account of percentage increases in
the Group’s operating profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company. The Company’s cash
dividends and cash dividend payout ratios computed on the basis of operating profit attributable to
shareholders of the parent company for the past five years are shown in the table below. Ping An has
grown its full-year cash dividend amount at a 7.0% compound annual growth rate over the past five years.
CAPITAL ALLOCATION
When investing in subsidiaries, the Company strictly abides by laws, regulations, regulatory requirements
and its internal decision-making procedures. In respect of capital allocation, the Company prioritizes
supporting strategic development, ensuring steady growth in core financial businesses, and boosting
capital efficiency. The Company invests its capital prudentially, encourages capital-light operations, and
constantly optimizes returns on invested capital and asset-liability structures.
Test results showing the impacts of declines in interest rates and equity assets on solvency margin ratios of
Ping An Group, Ping An Life, and Ping An P&C as at June 30, 2024 are disclosed below:
In accordance with international and domestic regulatory requirements, the Group has established a
liquidity risk management framework and guiding principles covering risk appetites and tolerance, risk
limits, risk monitoring, stress testing, and emergency management. Member companies have developed
their own management procedures and liquidity risk appetites, risk tolerance, and risk limits in line with
the applicable regulations, industry practices, and features of their business activities. The Group organizes
its member companies to regularly evaluate liquid assets and maturing debts, and use tools including
stress testing of cash flows to identify risks in advance. The Group and its member companies hold
sufficient liquid assets and maintain stable, convenient and diverse sources of financing to ensure that we
have adequate liquidity resources to tackle possible impacts from adverse situations. Moreover, we have
developed comprehensive emergency liquidity plans for effectively handling any significant liquidity risk
events. In addition, the Group effectively prevents the intra-group contagion of liquidity risk with internal
firewalls.
Net cash inflows from operating activities increased year on year mainly due to an increase in cash inflows
from Ping An Bank’s deposits and bond borrowing/lending, a decrease in cash outflows from loans and
advances, and an increase in cash outflows from financial assets held for trading.
Net cash outflows from investing activities increased year on year mainly due to an increase in net cash
outflows from Ping An Life’s investing activities.
Net cash outflows from financing activities increased year on year mainly due to an increase in cash paid
by Ping An Bank to repay interbank certificates of deposit and tier 2 capital bonds.
The Company believes that the liquid assets currently held, together with net cash generated from future
operations and the short-term borrowings available, will be sufficient to meet the Group’s foreseeable
liquidity needs.

As of June 30, 2024, there has been no material change to the information disclosed in the Company’s 2023
Annual Report relating to the number of Ping An’s current employees.
The Board of Directors hereby declares that the 2024 interim dividend of RMB0.93 (tax inclusive) per
share in cash will be distributed to the shareholders of the Company. Pursuant to the Shanghai Stock
Exchange’s Guidelines for Self-regulation of Listed Companies No.7 – Repurchase of Shares and other
applicable regulations, the Company’s A shares in the Company’s repurchased securities account after
trading hours on the record date of A shareholders will not be entitled to the interim dividend distribution.
The actual total amount of the interim dividend distribution is subject to the total number of shares that
will be entitled to the dividend distribution on the record date. The total amount of the interim dividend
distribution in 2024 is estimated at RMB16,840,107,055.35 (tax inclusive) based on the total share capital of
18,210,234,607 shares less the 102,592,612 A shares of the Company in the repurchased securities account as of
June 30, 2024. The interim dividend distribution will have no material impact on the Group’s solvency margin

Regarding the internal control management framework, the Company has put in place a well-structured,
well-staffed internal control system with well-defined powers and responsibilities in line with applicable
laws and regulations as well as business and risk management needs. The Board is responsible for
the establishment, improvement and effective implementation of internal controls. The Audit and Risk
Management Committee under the Board monitors and assesses the implementation of internal controls,
and coordinates internal control audits and other relevant work. The Supervisory Committee supervises
the establishment and implementation of internal controls by the Board. The Risk Management Executive
Committee under the Group’s Executive Committee (the management) formulates general targets, basic
policies and rules for risk management, and supervises operations of the risk management systems of
subsidiaries or business lines.
Regarding the formulation and implementation of internal control rules, the Company continuously
consolidated outcomes of the upgrade of basic management policies and procedures, adopted exacting
standards, strict accountability and firm discipline, enhanced implementation of policies and procedures,
and promoted operational compliance in the first half of 2024. Firstly, the Company embedded external
regulations in internal rules and prioritized the formulation of policies and procedures. The Company
systematically reviewed policies, rules, regulations and important regulatory documents, and internalized
them into its own policies, procedures and requirements in time to ensure internal controls are rules-
based and evidence-based. Secondly, the Company cleaned up existing policies and procedures and
planned new ones under the overall framework of its basic management policies and procedures. The
Company continuously improved a three-level framework comprising policies, procedures and guidelines,
standardized the formation of policies and procedures, and developed key processes and guidelines.
Thirdly, the Company enhanced the digital management of its policies and procedures, classifying policies
and procedures in a scientific way. The Company kept policies and procedures independent of human will
by embedding them in processes and embedding processes in systems, laying the solid foundations for
high-quality development.
Regarding internal control operations and assessment, the Company strictly complied with applicable
laws and regulations. In response to the calls of regulators at all levels for strengthening compliance
management and preventing compliance risks, the Company continuously optimized its governance
structure and strengthened internal control management. Firstly, the Company’s internal control operations
and assessment covered all businesses, focusing on the development of internal control mechanisms in
key areas. The Company adhered to the principles of comprehensiveness, materiality and objectivity in
internal control operations and assessment. The Company focused on important business units, major
matters and high-risk businesses on the basis of comprehensive and objective assessments of the Group’s
headquarters and member companies of different business types and sizes. In this way, the Company
continuously improved its internal control systems and mechanisms. Secondly, the Company linked
compliance management tools to continuously enhance the effectiveness of internal controls. The Company
strengthened linkages among compliance management tools centering on internal control processes.
The Company updated internal control processes in time according to new regulatory rules, internal
policies and procedures, and business changes to ensure compliance with regulations and company rules.
Moreover, during internal control tests, the Company conducted adequate assessments based on past
regulatory circulars, risk incidents and self-inspection findings. The Company analyzed the cruxes of issues
to eliminate potential risks and continuously improve the effectiveness of internal controls. Thirdly, the
Company conducted classified supervision to oversee the fulfillment of responsibilities for internal controls.
In accordance with internal control assessment plans and in combination with operational risk management,
the Company put forward requirements for classified supervision of its member companies, focusing on
“key business lines, processes and positions.” The Company created a list of responsibilities for issues to
oversee the fulfillment of responsibilities for internal controls. Fourthly, under an issue-oriented approach,
the Company gave full play to the role of internal controls in “addressing existing issues and preventing
potential ones.” Regarding pervasive, predisposing and emerging significant issues and deficiencies
identified in previous internal control assessments, regulatory inspections, violation risk reviews, self-
inspections and self-corrections, the Company thoroughly analyzed their backgrounds and causes, and took
strong measures to address them. With the aim of “addressing existing issues and preventing potential
ones”, the Company established long-term preventative mechanisms to better support its high-quality
development. Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls
over financial reporting for 2023, and issued the Internal Control Audit Report, opining that the Company
Regarding the management of money laundering and terrorist financing risks and sanctions compliance
(collectively the “money laundering risk”), the Company strictly abided by applicable laws and regulations,
and implemented the State’s decision to promote high-quality financial business development and prevent
and mitigate financial risks. The Company improved its ability to fulfill anti-money laundering (“AML”)
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
responsibilities and gave full play to the role of AML in preventing risks and promoting development under
the “risk-based” principle. Firstly, in response to the State’s call to “improve the AML framework for a new
era,” the Company continuously improved AML rules on money laundering risk assessment, monitoring,
reporting and AML information systems and data management to develop more systematic, standardized
and effective money laundering risk management rules. Secondly, regarding core AML obligations, the
Company explored the establishment of an AML quality certification system for financial groups, creating
a whole process from the establishing of standards, the implementation of standards, and certification to
the application of outcomes, focusing on significant risks, major branches, important business lines, and key
employees. Moreover, the Company strengthened independent tests in key areas and conducted special
tests in information security to verify common problems among member companies and the rectification
of their root causes, promoting high-quality development of member companies’ money laundering risk
management. Thirdly, the Company improved AML information sharing systems, norms and platforms.
The Company developed a shared library of over one million pieces of AML risk information with core
tags of customer money laundering risks while ensuring lawfulness, compliance and information security.
In this way, the Company provided multi-dimensional risk information to help its member companies deal
with AML-related core businesses, enabling them to precisely classify customers and manage risks, and
preventing contagion of money laundering risk within the Group. Fourthly, the Company kept a close eye
on the latest sanctions policies and information, improved its sanctions compliance management rules,
optimized existing monitoring approaches and measures, conducted sanctions risk assessments, reviews
and relevant training, and strengthened whole-process management of sanctions risk monitoring to prevent
relevant risks. Fifthly, the Company actively fulfilled its social responsibilities by assisting regulators in
improving mechanisms and operations of the industry’s AML self-discipline organization, supporting the
self-discipline organization in delivering and sharing its professional work outcomes to promote AML
information exchange, cooperation and innovation in the financial industry and across industries. The
Company made contributions to an “AML safety net” by participating in projects in collaboration with
regulators and enhancing education for the public on preventing illegal fundraising in light of the current
situation of money laundering risk.
Regarding the management framework for internal audit and supervision, the Company established a
highly independent, vertical audit and supervision framework. The Company established the Audit and Risk
Management Committee under the Board in accordance with applicable laws and regulations concerning
the corporate governance structure and internal rules including the Articles of Association. The committee,
comprising mostly of the Independent Non-executive Directors and chaired by an Independent Non-
executive Director, is responsible for comprehensive review and supervision of the Company’s financial
reporting, internal audit and control procedures. The Company’s Person-in-charge of Auditing is responsible
for assisting the Audit and Risk Management Committee under the Board in establishing and improving
the internal audit and supervision framework, and guiding and supervising the effective implementation of
audit and supervision policies and procedures. Audit and supervision departments are led by the Person-in-
charge of Auditing. To ensure objectivity and fairness, audit and supervision departments are independent
of business operations and management departments, and are not directly involved in or responsible for
risk management or the design and implementation of internal control systems. Audit and supervision
departments organize internal control monitoring every year to independently assess whether internal
controls are robust, rational and effective and fully cover the Company’s main risk points. Audit and
supervision departments also provide forward-looking suggestions for improvement against audit findings.
The results of internal control audits are reported by the Person-in-charge of Auditing to the Audit and
Risk Management Committee under the Board, and shared with management and compliance departments.
In this way, the Company ensures that internal control deficiencies are rectified in a timely manner and that
the Company’s internal controls are robust and effective.
The Company will conduct internal control effectiveness tests, audit independence tests, and internal
control assessments as planned in the second half of 2024. Adhering to the “risk-based” principle, the
Company will specify internal control requirements for key businesses and processes, and oversee the
fulfillment of responsibilities for internal controls at each level of the organization. The Company will
supervise and strengthen internal control and compliance appraisal to enhance the effectiveness of internal
control and compliance management. The Company will supervise the implementation of internal control
and compliance requirements, and promote compliance awareness among employees through precise
education and communication. By doing so, the Company will continuously improve its internal control
management.

Report on Review of Interim
Condensed Consolidated Financial
Information
To the shareholders of Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd.
(Incorporated in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability)
INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial information set out on pages 105 to
164, which comprises the interim consolidated statement of financial position of Ping An Insurance
(Group) Company of China, Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2024 and the interim
consolidated income statement, the interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the
six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The
Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information
to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim
Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and
presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express
a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Our report is made solely to you, as
a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume
responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
SCOPE OF REVIEW
We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review
of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Hong
Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making
inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and
other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we
would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion.
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial
information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Certain subsidiaries enjoy tax preferential treatments. These subsidiaries are not material to the Group.
Except for those subsidiaries enjoying tax preferential treatments, the applicable corporate income tax rate
of the Group for 2024 was 25%.
The amendments to IAS 12 introduce a temporary mandatory exemption from the recognition and
disclosure of deferred taxes arising from the implementation of the Pillar Two Model Rules published by the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or
substantively enacted by 31 December 2023 in certain jurisdictions in which the Group operates, and such
legislation will successively become effective from 1 January 2024. The Group has adopted the amendments
to IAS 12 and the temporary mandatory exemptions.
According to the rules of Pillar Two legislation, low-tax jurisdictions with effective tax rate below 15% may
have a top-up tax impact. There are differences in the computation of effective tax rate between Pillar Two
legislation and IFRS Accounting Standards. The Group is currently in the process of analyzing the potential
impact of the Pillar Two legislation on future financial performance.

Financial Information
For the six-month period ended 30 June 2024
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can
access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly
available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and
those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The
main quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current closing price. Financial
instruments included in Level 1 comprise primarily equity investments, fund investments and bond
investments traded on stock exchanges and open-ended mutual funds;
Level 2: either directly (such as price) or indirectly (such as calculated based on price) other than quoted
prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability. This valuation method maximizes
the use of observable market data and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs;
Level 3: inputs which are based on parameters other than observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level of fair value measurement is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the
entire measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the entire measurement requires
judgement, taking into account factors specific to the asset or liability.
For Level 3 financial instruments, the consideration of being classified as Level 3 is mainly based on the
significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement.

40. CLASSIFICATION AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(CONTINUED)
(2) DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE AND THE FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY (CONTINUED)
During the six months ended 30 June 2024 and the six months ended 30 June 2023, there were no significant
transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.
(i) Occurrence risk – the possibility that the number of insured events will differ from those expected.
(ii) Severity risk – the possibility that the cost of the events will differ from those expected.
(iii) Development risk – the possibility that changes may occur in the amount of an insurer’s obligation at
the end of the contract period.
The variability of risks is improved by diversification of risk of loss to a large portfolio of insurance
contracts as a more diversified portfolio is less likely to be affected across the board by change in any
subset of the portfolio. The variability of risks is also improved by careful selection and implementation of
underwriting strategies and guidelines.
The insurance business of the Group mainly comprises long-term life insurance contracts, property
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
and casualty and short-term life insurance contracts. For contracts where death is the insured risk, the
significant factors that could increase the overall frequency of claims are epidemics, widespread changes
in lifestyles and natural disasters, resulting in earlier or more claims than expected. For contracts where
survival is the insured risk, the most significant factor is continuing improvement in medical science and
social conditions that would increase longevity. For property and casualty insurance contracts, claims are
often affected by natural disasters, calamities, terrorist attacks, etc.
These risks currently do not vary significantly in relation to the location of the risk insured by the Group
whilst undue concentration by amounts could have an impact on the severity of benefit payments on a
portfolio basis.
There would be no significant mitigating terms and conditions that reduce the insured risk accepted for
contracts with fixed and guaranteed benefits and fixed future premiums. However, for contracts with
discretionary participation features, the participating nature of these contracts results in a significant
portion of the insurance risk being shared with the insured party.
Insurance risk is also affected by the policyholders’ rights to terminate the contract, pay reduced
premiums, refuse to pay premiums or exercise annuity conversion option, etc. Thus, the resultant insurance
risk is subject to policyholders’ behaviour and decisions.
Interim Report 2024 Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. 149
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated
Financial Information
For the six-month period ended 30 June 2024
Assumptions
(a) Long-term life insurance contracts
Significant judgements are required in determining and choosing discount rates/investment return,
mortality, morbidity, lapse rates, policy dividend, and expenses assumptions relating to long-term life
insurance contracts.
(c) Reinsurance
The Group limits its exposure to losses from insurance operations mainly through participation in
reinsurance arrangements. The majority of the business ceded is placed on the quota share basis and
the surplus basis with retention limits varying by product lines. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are
estimated in a manner consistent with the assumptions used for ascertaining the underlying policy benefits
and are presented in the statement of financial position as reinsurance contract assets or liabilities.
Even though the Group may have reinsurance arrangements, it is not relieved of its direct obligations to its
policyholders and thus a credit exposure exists with respect to reinsurance ceded, to the extent that any
reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations assumed under such reinsurance agreements.
150 Interim Report 2024 Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd.
41. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(2) MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of changes in fair value of financial instruments and future cash flows from
fluctuation of market prices, which includes three types of risks from volatility of foreign exchange rates
(foreign currency risk), market interest rates (interest rate risk) and market prices (price risk).
The above financial instruments and insurance contracts are exposed to price risk because of changes in
market prices, where changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instruments or their
issuers, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.
The Group manages price risks through balanced asset allocation, dynamic portfolio management and
diversification of investments, etc.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interest rate risks facing the Group mainly comes from the insurance segment and the banking
segment.
Floating rate instruments expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk, whereas fixed rate instruments
expose the Group to fair value interest risk. The Group’s interest rate risk policy requires it to manage
the maturities of interest-bearing financial assets and interest-bearing financial liabilities by maintaining
an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate instruments. The Group manages the interest rate risk by
extending assets duration, repricing products and adjusting the business structure to match the term
structure and to match the cost and benefit.
Interim Report 2024 Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. 151
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated
Financial Information
For the six-month period ended 30 June 2024
Transaction account interest rate risk arises from the change in interest rates and product price of the
transaction account resulting from the change in market interest rates, which in turn affects the profit
or loss for the year. The Group mainly manages the interest rate risk of transaction account by adopting
measures such as the interest rate sensitive limit and daily and monthly stop-loss limit to ensure that the
fluctuations of interest rate and market value of products are within the affordable scope of the Group.
Bank account interest rate risk arises from the mismatch of the maturity date or contract re-pricing date
between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Group manages bank account interest
rate risk primarily by adjusting the asset/liability pricing structure, regularly monitoring sensitive gaps of
interest rate, analysing characteristics of asset/liability re-pricing, and using an asset/liability management
system to conduct scenario analysis on interest risk.
In respect of the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss of the Group’s banking
segment, the interest rate risk arising from this portfolio is not significant. For other financial assets and
liabilities, the Group mainly uses a gap analysis to measure and control the related interest rate risk.
152 Interim Report 2024 Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd.
41. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(3) CREDIT RISK
Credit risks refer to the risk of losses incurred by the inabilities of debtors or counterparties to fulfill their
contractual obligations or by the adverse changes in their credit conditions. The Group is exposed to
credit risks primarily associated with its deposit arrangements with commercial banks, loans and advances
to customers, financial assets at amortized cost and debt financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income, reinsurance arrangement with reinsurers, policy loans, margin financing, financial
guarantee contracts and loan commitments, etc. The Group uses a variety of controls to identify, measure,
monitor and report credit risk.
Credit risks arising from credit commitments are similar to those of loans and advances. Therefore, financial
guarantees and loan commitments are also subject to the same application, post credit management and
collateral requirements as loan and advances business.
The Group’s debt investment mainly includes domestic government bonds, the Central Bank bills, financial
institution bonds, corporate bonds and debt investment schemes, wealth management investments, etc.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Group manages the credit risk for these investments mainly through controlling the investment scales,
selecting counterparties within the financial institutions with appropriate credit quality prudently, balancing
the credit risks and rate of return of investment and considering the internal and external credit rating
information comprehensively.
The limits of policy loans are based on the cash values of valid insurance policies, with appropriate
discounts, and the validity periods of policy loans are within the validity periods of insurance policies. The
credit risk associated with policy loans did not have material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial
statements.

41. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(4) LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk of not having access to sufficient funds or being unable to realize an asset in a
timely manner at a reasonable price to meet the Group’s obligations as they become due.
The Group is exposed to liquidity risk on insurance policies that permit surrender, withdrawal or other
forms of early termination. When surrender, withdrawal or other forms of early termination happens, the
Group determines the amounts that are payable on demand to policyholders in accordance with the terms
of insurance contracts, which are usually the unearned premiums or the cash values of the relevant part of
contracts, after deducting the applicable early termination fees. The Group seeks to manage its liquidity
risk by matching to the extent possible the duration of its investment assets with the duration of its
insurance policies and to ensure that the Group is able to meet its payment obligations and fund its lending
and investment operations on a timely basis.
The banking business of the Group is exposed to potential liquidity risk. The Group utilizes multiple
regulatory methods, establish comprehensive liquidity risk management framework, effectively recognize,
measure, monitor and control liquidity risk, maintain sufficient liquidity level to satisfy various funds
requirement and to face adverse market status. In case of monitoring liquidity risks effectively, the Group
pays attention to the funds resources and diversified utilization, keeps relatively high liquidity assets
consistently. The Group monitors the sourcing and usage of funds, deposit to loan ratio, and quick ratio
on a daily basis. Moreover, when adopting various benchmarks for management of liquidity risk, the Group
compares the expected results against the ones derived from stress tests, critically assesses the potential
impact to the future liquidity risk, and formulates remedial actions according to specific situations. The
Group seeks to mitigate the liquidity risk of the banking business by optimizing the assets and liabilities
structure, and maintaining stable deposits, etc.
