The newly promulgated outbound investment regulations of Mainland China (State Council Order No. 837) will take effect on July 1, 2026, comprehensively tightening supervision of outbound investments, including approval and filing requirements, UBS said in its report.

While the regulation is most likely to affect cross-border securities trading and Hong Kong property, its impact on HK Mainland Chinese Visitor (MCV) insurance business remains subject to further regulatory clarification. The broker considered the likelihood of a complete ban on MCV insurance business to be extremely low, but expects regulatory scrutiny to persist, focusing on cross-border marketing activities and sources of funds.

UBS noted that AIA (01299.HK)  -2.700 (-3.520%)    Short selling $1.75B; Ratio 16.079%   shares have remained range-bound since 2Q26, partly affected by fund flows, and as a major constituent of Hong Kong equity indices, the stock has not been immune to overall market weakness.

Key catalysts for a potential re-rating include the removal of regulatory overhang related to MCV business, accelerating growth in VNB in 2-3Q despite a high base effect, thereby strengthening investor confidence in maintaining mid-teens growth in 2026, as well as resilient growth in the ASEAN region.
