VALUE PARTNERS GROUP (00806) has announced a forecast indicating a substantial increase in consolidated profit attributable to the company's owners for the 2025 fiscal year. The unaudited estimated profit is approximately HKD 660 million, a significant rise compared to the HKD 31 million recorded in 2024. Based on the information currently available to the Board, the substantial revenue growth is attributed to an increase in Assets Under Management (AUM), which climbed to USD 6.2 billion in 2025 from USD 5.1 billion as of December 31, 2024. This growth was primarily driven by the strong investment performance of the managed funds, leading to the recognition of performance fee income of about HKD 370 million in 2025, a marked increase from HKD 12 million in the same period last year. Furthermore, the Group recorded a net fair value gain on investments of approximately HKD 460 million for the 2025 fiscal year, compared to around HKD 132 million in the prior year. These gains primarily originated from the Group's long-term investment holdings, which include private capital investments, investments in its own funds, joint venture investments, and other investments, all managed in accordance with the Group's value investment philosophy.
