iFAST Corporation Ltd posted a 50.1% year-on-year increase in net profit to S$100.01 million for the 12 months ended 31 December 2025, lifted by the scaling-up of its Hong Kong ePension business, record net inflows into its core wealth-management platform and the first full-year profit from iFAST Global Bank.
Group revenue climbed 34.4% YoY to S$514.72 million. The board proposed a final dividend of 2.50 Singapore cents a share, up 56.3% from a year earlier and payable subject to shareholder approval at the 24 April 2026 AGM. Total FY2025 dividends would rise 42.4% to 8.40 cents.
By segment, Hong Kong remained the largest earnings contributor with profit before tax (PBT) up 27.6% YoY to S$67.55 million, followed by Singapore, where PBT rose 23.7% to S$44.72 million. Malaysia delivered S$6.55 million (+32.1% YoY), while China narrowed its loss to S$3.65 million. The UK-based iFAST Global Bank swung to a S$3.11 million PBT from a S$4.36 million loss in FY2024, marking its first profitable year. Group assets under administration expanded 27.9% to a record S$31.98 billion, supported by S$4.72 billion of net inflows.
The momentum was evident in the fourth quarter: revenue surged 45.7% YoY to S$151.74 million and net profit jumped 70.4% to S$32.86 million, as unit trust subscriptions and stock-and-ETF transactions hit new highs.
Losses in China continued to weigh on group results, though the deficit narrowed amid improving scale, while start-up costs linked to global expansion tempered margin gains.
To accelerate growth, the company will rebrand its Singapore and Hong Kong retail platforms as “FSM Global” and pursue what management calls a “truly global business model” operating from hubs in Singapore, London and Hong Kong. It is also rolling out payment services, an international bond marketplace and additional pension-administration mandates.
Group chief executive Lim Chung Chun said the shift to a global strategy is designed to tap demand from mass-affluent and retail investors worldwide seeking digital banking and wealth-management solutions anchored in Singapore’s financial reputation. He noted that continued investments in proprietary technology and artificial-intelligence capabilities are intended to “build faster and better” services across markets.
Looking ahead, iFAST is targeting assets under administration of S$100 billion by 2030, implying a compound annual growth rate of roughly 25.6%. Management expects double-digit revenue and profit growth from its Hong Kong operations in 2026, a stronger contribution from Macau ePension and ORSO pension businesses in the second half, and further profit gains at iFAST Global Bank. The board plans to lift total dividends for FY2026 to at least 10.50 cents a share, representing a minimum 25% increase over FY2025, subject to business conditions.
