As we reach mid-2025, despite the global market being affected by tariff fluctuations and geopolitical tensions, our investment team has still achieved strong risk-adjusted returns. In Hong Kong, DeepSeek's artificial intelligence breakthroughs have rekindled global investor confidence, prompting a reflow of capital. However, economic growth in the Greater China region still faces dual pressures from weak domestic demand and ongoing structural reforms. In this complex environment, we have achieved encouraging results during the period, thanks to robust investment returns, strict risk management, and operational flexibility. Maintaining a solid balance sheet and ample liquidity remains a top priority, enabling us to invest and seize opportunities during any market turbulence. Following our strategic transformation, our diversified complementary platform is increasingly generating synergies, driving recurring revenue growth and enhancing long-term shareholder value.
The profit attributable to the company's shareholders was HKD 887 million, more than ten times higher year-on-year (first half of 2024: HKD 75.4 million). This strong recovery was primarily driven by the investment management business, benefiting from an increase in project exits and a more optimistic market sentiment towards China-related assets, resulting in substantial earnings for this business.
Investment management recorded a pre-tax profit of HKD 786 million, compared to a loss of HKD 147.5 million in the same period of 2024 (after restatement). The performance of almost all asset classes improved, including private equity, corporate holdings, hedge funds, as well as special opportunity investments and structured credit
