Chinese insurers jumped on Thursday after the Shanghai Composite Index breached the 3,000-point level for the first time in more than a year in the previous session, raising hopes for strong investment income at insurance companies in 2009 after last year's market meltdown.

The world's largest insurer China Life advanced 1.8 percent to HK$29 in Hong Kong, while China's second-biggest insurance company Ping An climbed 4.7 percent to 54.70 yuan in Shanghai, extending Wednesday's 5.68 percent rise. The Shanghai benchmark index has risen over 66 percent so far this year amid expectations of an early turnaround in the Chinese economy.
