Goldman Sachs' China macro team says Chinese household asset allocation is in the early stage of a structural shift. With real estate's role in wealth accumulation waning and deposit rates low, savings may gradually reallocate into broader financial assets; equities and insurance are likely mid-term beneficiaries. Equities currently account for under 10% of household assets, implying substantial room for further reallocation.

If household confidence stabilizes and capital market returns prove attractive, equities could take a larger share of new household savings.
