nice
but it does make one wonder if their ultimate goal is just to accumulate enough shares from the market over many years and to delist at a discount before starting to sell off the portfolio.

Their investment portfolio is not transparent as K1 ventures. Very hard to gauge the intrinsic value...that's why Mr market is giving it a 50% discount to NAV....Below is one of the recent investment:
Cnano Technology Ltd., a U.S. maker of carbon nanotubes used in energy-storage products, completed a $15 million financing plan that it will use to expand production in China.
Grand River Capital’s SinoGreen Fund led the financing, which included Hotung Investment Holdings Ltd. and existing investors Pangaea Ventures, Presidio Partners, WI Harper Group, IDG Capital Partners and Megatop Capital, Cnano Technology said in a statement on its website Monday. Individual amounts weren’t disclosed.
Closely held Cnano plans to use the funding proceeds at its manufacturing facility in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, according to the statement. The nanotubes produced there also are used in batteries, electronics and electric vehicles.

If the intention is to delist, then the majority shareholder would increase their stakes on the company instead of share buy-back by the company itself. IMO, what Hotung is doing could be due to (1) excess of cash, (2) to attract market attention, and (3) planning for future share options for chairwoman and employees.

The day hotung stop investing is the day we should start investing.

Well, its good if its earmarked for future investments (which is their core business). Unless Hotung has a track record of destorying value, it makes sense that their cash holdings should be taken at face value.
It just doesn't seem to be the case that management will actively seek out poor returns on their investments.

Thanks for the updates on buybacks... appreciated.
Maybe Hotung management is just merely investing Hotung's cash in an obviously (obvious to them) undervalued asset, ie their own shares.
Hi, can I check what happens to the TWD dividend? Who coverts it to SGD?
