BRIEF: Value Partners profit soars on strong investment gains
Asset manager Value Partners Group Ltd. (0806.HK) said on Wednesday its profit rose sharply last year, as rallying stock markets provided a strong boost to the value of its assets under management, resulting in higher performance fee income.
The company said it expects to report a profit of about HK$660 million ($84.4 million) for 2025, up from just HK$31 million the previous year. It said the big increase was partly due to a big rise in the value of its assets under management, which increased to $6.2 billion by the end of 2025 from $5.1 billion a year earlier. Strong performance for the funds it managed also boosted its performance fee income to HK$370 million last year from just HK$12 million in 2024.
The company said it also benefited from about HK$460 million in net fair value gains for its investments last year, up from HK$132 million in similar gains in 2024.
Value Partners stock opened higher on Thursday and was up 6.3% at HK$2.54 in afternoon trading. The stock is up about 55% over the last 52 weeks.
