According to official news, Hong Kong's Frontier Capital announced a distribution of HKD 240 million in dividends for the fiscal year 2025 on April 30. As the only virtual asset hedge fund asset management company (BNJ945) in Hong Kong to have received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for an upgrade of asset management permissions (Uplift) three times, the company has distributed dividends a total of 16 times since its establishment in 2018. CEO Ye Yizhou stated that this will be the last cash dividend for the fund this year.

Starting in April 2025, the company's flagship compliance fund will open for external fundraising for the first time. Frontier Capital is about to celebrate its eighth anniversary and is also entering its fourth year of officially obtaining a virtual asset license from the Hong Kong SFC. Mr. Ye indicated that the company's next phase will focus on collaborating with private banks and other fund distribution channels to provide compliant virtual asset fund products for global investors.

Global mainstream asset allocators, such as family offices, university endowment funds, and national sovereign funds, primarily use two methods when allocating virtual assets: one is to directly purchase a small number of mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or indirectly hold such assets through ETFs; the other is to allocate to virtual asset funds.

Globally, there are very few virtual asset funds available for mainstream investors, as these funds must meet three main conditions: first, they must be compliant under major legal jurisdictions, such as obtaining the relevant licenses in Hong Kong, Singapore, and other jurisdictions. For example, the Hong Kong government and related institutions, including the Hong Kong SFC, are at the forefront of the world, having issued nearly 40 virtual asset asset management licenses and over 10 virtual asset exchange licenses in the past three years. Although most other compliant institutions, aside from Frontier Capital, are still exploring profit models, the Hong Kong government at least provides a framework of choices for mainstream investors.

Second, there must be a sufficiently long and good track record that is transparent and traceable. For funds, performance accounts for more than 80% of investors' considerations; third, the legitimacy and professionalism of the fund management team are crucial, as the essence of a virtual asset fund is still a "fund," with a focus on fund structure and the compliance, risk control, strategy, and performance it represents. The so-called crypto-native fund teams are often difficult to select because the speculative nature, wild growth, and disregard for rules represented by crypto genes are contrary to the focus of a "fund." Frontier Capital has spent seven years finding a balance between virtual assets and compliant investments.

Looking ahead, Frontier Capital will continue to commit to promoting the professionalization and compliance of virtual asset management. We believe that as the market continues to develop and regulations improve, virtual assets will play an increasingly important role in global investment portfolios. We look forward to collaborating with all parties to create a more transparent and sustainable investment environment, providing investors with higher quality services and products.
