History
Sun Hung Kai & Co. was established in 1969 by Fung King Hey, Kwok Tak Seng, and Lee Shau Kee, and subsequently listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange in 1983. In 1996, Allied Properties (HK) Limited, a subsidiary of Allied Group Limited—an investment holding entity specializing in property and financial services—acquired the firm from the Fung family. The company ventured into consumer finance in 2006 through the acquisition of UAF Holdings Limited.
In 2015, Sun Hung Kai & Co. divested its subsidiary Sun Hung Kai Financial to Everbright Securities, initiated a mortgage lending operation under Sun Hung Kai Credit Limited, and developed an investment management division which evolved into a key revenue source.
From 2020 onwards, the company has grown its investment management capabilities into a Funds Management Platform, establishing four partnerships by mid-2021: East Point Asset Management, E15VC, ActusRayPartners, and MCIP.
