Dear Clients, Business Partners, Shareholders, and Colleagues,
As we reflect on 2024, we are pleased to share the progress and achievements of Saichild Group during a transformative year for our firm. Throughout this period, we laid the groundwork for future growth through several key strategic initiatives. We capitalized on a consolidating market with the acquisition of prime real estate assets in both Singapore and Hong Kong. We also expanded our investment capabilities by launching royalties as our third asset class, further diversifying our portfolio. Additionally, we saw organic growth in our equity investment strategies.
Our investment activity increased by more than 37% in 2024, capturing a significant share of the industry’s gradual recovery. We also successfully converted our exit pipeline into several notable realizations in the latter half of the year.
In our Strategic Capital Markets & Hedge Fund Strategies, we effectively navigated the evolving market landscape with a focus on adaptability, data-driven insights, and long-term value creation. Our approach to FX and equities through Crown Capital Markets has harnessed advanced analytics and algorithmic precision, ensuring efficient execution even in volatile conditions. As global markets continue to evolve, Saichild remains focused on strategic positioning, leveraging technology, and seizing emerging opportunities to drive sustained returns.
These strategic initiatives, along with our ability to offer tailored private markets portfolio solutions, have driven strong new client demand. We are honored that our clients entrusted us with USD77.5 million in new assets, bringing our total Assets under Management (AuM) to USD247.9 million as of 31 December 2024.
We are also pleased to report that our portfolio of businesses and assets continues to perform robustly, contributing to our strong financial results. In recognition of this performance and our healthy balance sheet, the Board of Directors will propose a dividend of USD2.00 per share at the upcoming Annual General Meeting in May 2025, reflecting a 22% increase per share compared to the previous year.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to building on this momentum as we enter a new year of opportunity and growth.
