Client Assets Expand: Can FUTU's Wealth Management Take Off?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Futu Holdings' client assets surged 68.1% y/y and 17.4% sequentially in the June-end quarter.
International expansion drove growth, with more than 50% of new fund accounts from outside Hong Kong.
Assets under management hit HK$163.2B, skyrocketing 104.4% y/y, backed by new wealth offerings.
Futu Holdings Limited (FUTU - Free Report) reported a record year-over-year client asset surge of 68.1% and a sequential 17.4% rise as of the June quarter. The primary reason behind this outstanding growth was the strong net asset inflow and favorable market-to-market gains from Hong Kong and U.S. equities.
Furthering this drive, the success of FUTU’s international expansion strategy is embedded in its fund account growth. Prominently, Hong Kong was not the only contributor to this client asset increase, as more than 50% of these accounts came from clients outside of Hong Kong. This heightened international penetration is evidenced by net asset inflow nearly doubling in the first half of 2025 from the previous year, with average client assets across different markets showing sequential growth.
On the product front, Yu Chen, Futu Holdings’ chief financial officer, stated that the company made advancements in its offerings, mainly in the first half of the year, and introduced multiple products in domains, including wealth management, fixed income and crypto. These new products position the company as a one-stop investment platform for users, boosting client engagement and drawing new client assets.
Extending this momentum, wealth management is evolving as the next key pillar for FUTU's success. As of the June quarter, the company’s total assets under management are HK$163.2 billion, an impressive 104.4% year-over-year surge. The company has already partnered with more than 80 world-class fund manager companies and collaborated with China Asset Management in Hong Kong to become the first retail distributor for the first tokenized money market funds.
Futu Holdings’ impressive platform, which includes Hong Kong’s first principal-protected structured products, upgrades such as AI-powered advisory and a targeted membership program, solidifies its position in the market. This one-stop-shop strategy is what can position FUTU as the next-gen wealth manager for the masses.
