HKIC says invested in over 150 projects, posts $2.3 bln investment income

Hong Kong Investment Corporation, the city's strategic investment fund, said on Thursday it has invested in more than 150 projects as of October 2025 while generating investment income of HK$2.3 billion last year.

In its annual report, the fund said the capital deployed in projects by the end of last year accounted for less than one-fifth of its initial capital. It reported an operating profit of HK$2.25 billion for the year.

Total assets stood at around HK$64 billion by the end of 2024, with total capital and accumulated returns from the Hong Kong government amounting to HK$63.49 billion.

The HKIC said that by the end of October this year, its investments spanned three key sectors: hard tech, life sciences, and new energy and green technology, as well as related application areas.

Among the invested companies, two have already listed in Hong Kong, while more than ten others have either submitted or plan to submit listing applications in the city this year.

The fund stated that every HK$1 it invested has leveraged over HK$6 in long-term market capital. It added that this year, it has followed its original plan to inject more capital into companies meeting development and performance benchmarks, for example, by leading new investment rounds to help them seize overseas market opportunities.

"HKIC will continue to expand its strategic positioning, deepen investment partnerships, and align with national development strategies and Hong Kong's long-term prosperity needs," said chief executive Clara Chan Ka-chai.
