Company

Company overview

Maase Inc. sells insurance from multiple insurers through its subsidiary AIFU, mainly to individuals in China. Life insurance distribution has supplied most of its revenue. Sales agents help customers buy policies, and insurers pay Maase commissions based on the premiums customers pay. Long-term life policies generate an initial commission and smaller renewal commissions, which depend on customers continuing to pay premiums. Maase shares commissions with its mostly independent sales agents and can earn additional bonuses for meeting insurers’ sales or renewal targets.

The company has broadened beyond insurance through acquisitions of Carve Group and Real Prospect. Carve Group adds wild-ginseng resources and bird’s-nest biotechnology businesses; Real Prospect adds equipment such as mobile electric-vehicle charging robots, residential energy-storage systems and unmanned car washes. Maase has sold its former wealth-management and claims-adjusting businesses.

Its insurance income depends on productive agents and a small group of important insurer partners, including Sinatay, which supply products and set commission rates. Chinese rules constrain insurance pricing, sales practices and commissions, and the agency business must maintain the required licenses. These limits affect both which policies Maase can sell and how much it earns from them.

Maase’s results hinge chiefly on its controlled subsidiary AIFU’s life-insurance sales in China, policy renewals and regulated commission rates, alongside the success of its newly acquired health and smart-technology businesses.

  • Cheche competes with Maase in distributing non-life insurance from multiple insurers in China: Cheche’s platform lets users compare quotes and obtain policies, while Maase earns commissions and fees from insurance distribution and brokerage, with a greater emphasis on life policies. Watch Cheche’s policy volumes alongside revenue: it facilitated more policies in 2025, but its revenue fell, so volume alone is not a reliable guide to insurance-distribution revenue.
