Recently, the life insurance has made great improvement in premium collection at the dual percent growing speed, and accelerated hundreds of millions of insurance fund. But under the high-speed development it hides many problems such as the negative spread. In fact, a life insurance company is not only a financial institution to collect premium to provide protection, but also an investor to operate capitals. How to take advantage of institutional investors to realize the maintenance and increment of insurance fund is one of problems that the industry must face. Despite the investing channels are being gradually broadened, the long-term investing projections have not been included in the portfolio actually. This paper suggests insurance funds investing on fundamental infrastructure, aiming at the predicament of fund operation. With widening the selective field the investment on fundamental infrastructure can add the share of long-term capital in life insurance companies. Additionally, projections with high-return or guaranteed by local governments in fundamental infrastructure are well worth paying attention. Investing in urban fundamental infrastructure is a popular topic in many industries. The accelerating urbanization produces the bottleneck between the stock of urban fundamental infrastructure and the modernization.
