CIG (06166) has announced its intention to establish a partnership fund with Shanghai Zhifengzhi to focus on equity investment, investment management, and asset management, primarily targeting private equity and venture capital opportunities in unlisted companies.
The company announced on July 24, 2026, that it has entered into a partnership agreement. Under the terms, CIG will act as the limited partner, contributing 800 million yuan, while Shanghai Zhifengzhi, as the general partner, will contribute 10,000 yuan. This results in CIG holding a 99.9988% stake in the partnership, with the general partner holding the remaining 0.0012%.
Following the completion of the transaction, the partnership will be classified as a subsidiary of CIG, and its financial results will be consolidated into the company's financial statements. The proposed name for the partnership is Jiaxing Hujiang Optoelectronics Industry Fund Partnership (Limited Partnership), though the final name will be subject to approval and registration by relevant Chinese government authorities.
Strategic rationale for the fund
This initiative involves CIG using its own capital to invest alongside a professional institution. This approach allows the company to leverage the institution's expertise and resources in the investment field, enabling it to pursue equity investment activities while reasonably controlling risk and aiming for medium-to-long-term investment returns.
Furthermore, by focusing on companies in the optical components, chips, and core IC sectors, the company aims to strengthen its control over the industrial chain. This strategic move is expected to enhance the company's technical capabilities and supply chain resilience, increase its downstream market coverage, and expand its market influence. The partnership will also help diversify the company's investment portfolio and maximize strategic and operational synergies, aligning with its long-term development strategy and capital usage plan.
