History
Established in 1993 by Chairman and Co-chief Investment Officer Dato' Seri Cheah Cheng Hye alongside entrepreneur Yeh V-nee, who previously served as a non-official member of the Executive Council of Hong Kong, Value Partners focuses on value investing strategies. The company’s main office is located in Hong Kong, with additional branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and London. It caters to a worldwide clientele and is acknowledged as one of Asia’s leading asset management organizations.
Value Partners became the first asset management company to be publicly traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (Stock code: 806 HK) in November 2007. It was featured in Forbes Asia's "Best Under A Billion" list of top-performing public companies in 2018 but did not maintain its position on the list in 2019.
In 2015, the firm divested its 49% ownership in Goldstate Capital Fund Management Co., Ltd. for RMB45 million. To meet growing interest from investors in the UK and Europe, Value Partners introduced an all-China investment fund targeting these regions in 2019. This initiative came after an analysis by Northern Trust that identified difficulties faced by Asian asset managers competing within Europe, where Value Partners had attracted only $211 million, representing 1.3% of its total assets under management.
In June 2023, a strategic investment was made by GF Securities, which acquired a 20.2% shareholding in Value Partners.
