Value Partners Group Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended 31 December 2018. For the period, the company reported that based on a preliminary review of the latest available financial information of the Company, consolidated profit attributable to equity holders of the Company is expected to be about HKD 220 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 (2018 unaudited estimate), declining by approximately 89% from HKD 2,048 million in the previous year. The expected decrease in consolidated profit attributable to equity holders of the Company is mainly due to: a reduction in performance fee income and an absence of net fair value gains and realized gains of the Group's seed capital investments and investments in its own funds.
