iFAST profit soars 93% to $2.2m on Q2

The company's assets in three countries hit a record $6.81b.

Internet-based investment products distribution platform iFAST Corporation Ltd. (iFAST) continues its growth after it reported a 93% profit increase to $2.2m for Q2.

According to iFAST's financial statement, company revenue surged 27.3% YoY to $24.7m

iFAST's Asset Under Administration (AUA) grew 21.1% to a record-high $6.81b and mainly contributed to the company's gains, iFAST said.

AUA increased 15.9% in Singapore, 27.2% in Hong Kong, and 46.6% in Malaysia. Singapore remained the company's largest contributor to revenue at $4.73b.

However, gross revenue from China fell 57.9% YoY, because of regulatory measures that pulled down their institutional business in 2016.

In a press release, iFAST said, "Sales came from the investment products distributed via both the B2C business division (via the new FSMOne account, which offers access to unit trusts, bonds,
stocks, ETFs and robo-advisory portfolios), and B2B business division."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
