Value Partners Group Limited (SEHK: Script error: No such module "Leading zeros".&sc_lang=en Script error: No such module "Leading zeros".) is a Hong Kong-based asset management company.
The company was founded in 1993 as a boutique firm by the present Chairman & Co-chief investment officer Dato' Seri[3] Cheah Cheng Hye, and businessman Yeh V-nee,[4] a non-official member of the Executive Council of Hong Kong from 2009 to 2012.
Value Partners positions itself as a value investor and adopts value investing strategy for its funds. Headquartered in Hong Kong, Value Partners has offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and London.[5] It has a global client base and is regarded as one of Asia's largest asset management firms[6] by the industry.
Value Partners was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (Stock code: 806 HK) in November 2007 and it is the first asset management firm listed in Hong Kong.
In 2018, Value Partners was listed among the 200 top-performing public companies on Forbes Asia's "Best Under A Billion list."[7] It dropped off that list in 2019.[7]
Value Partners disposed its 49% equity interests in Goldstate Capital Fund Management Co., Ltd. to a company under Yunnan Jiutian Investment Enterprises Ltd in 2015, for a consideration of RMB45 million.[8]
In 2019, Value Partners launched an investment fund towards China for United Kingdom and European investors after demands for this service had increased.[9] The move comes one year after an assessment by American asset manager Northern Trust, which found that Asian investment funds find it difficult to compete in the European market.[10] According to the study, Value Partners only sourced $211 million, accounting for just 1.3% of its total assets under management.[10]
