The AI's read
Chinese tax authorities are enforcing personal tax on offshore insurance income. That directly erodes the higher-return pitch that attracts Mainland buyers to Hong Kong policies. Market reaction is mixed. AIA is only about 1.1% higher since the reports, not a full-blown selloff, but the earlier intraday drop to as much as 8.5% shows the demand risk is real. We lean bearish on AIA because Mainland visitors supplied roughly 29% of 2024 new premiums and taxes undercut that core growth engine. Conviction 90% due to fresh enforcement; position size should be conservative in the broader uptrend.
