First Shanghai Investments Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The board of directors of the company informed its shareholders and potential investors that the group is expected to record an increase of not less than 15 times in profit attributable to shareholders of the company for the six months ended 30th June 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. Such expected in crease is mainly attributable to the significant growth in brokerage and securities investment businesses due to the booming market turnover and expansion of customer base; and the expected increase in share of profit from the group's investment in a listed associate as a result of the recognition of a realized gain from its equity investment.
