HLP’s share price performance should be primarily driven by its investment property portfolio in China (which comprises mainly retail malls) as we estimate that these assets account for about 50% of its gross asset value. Generally, performance of these retail malls has strong correlation with China’s retail consumption, especially luxury goods. Tenants’ sales growth to underpin reversionary growth, which in turn dictates future rental income growth. In 1H19, tenant sales growth at its retail malls in China gathered momentum despite the ongoing US-China trade war. During the period, Office rental - HK Plaza 66 recorded healthy retail sales growth of 15% y-o-y despite a higher comparison base. Retail malls outside Shanghai registered improving tenants’ sales. We note that retail sales at Center 66, Olympia 66, and Palace 66 recorded impressive growth of 25%, 27% and 29% respectively. Even Riverside 66 and Forum 66 recorded mild retail sales growth of 2-3%. As a result, these malls registered favourable reversionary growth. Facelift to rejuvenate the malls. Asset enhancement initiatives play a crucial role in unlocking the earnings potential of shopping malls in China/Hong Kong, which in turn provides Retail rental (Shopping centre) - HK additional growth impetus for HLP. The company has been carrying out large-scale enhancement works at Grand Gateway 66 in Shanghai. Ph 1 of the upgrade works has been completed with the renovated area being fully let at higher income.

  • Survey on the Hang Seng Index (HSI) Constituents’ Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
    Survey on the Hang Seng Index (HSI) Constituents’ Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Executive Summary and Policy Suggestions Preface Oxfam Hong Kong (OHK) has been promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR) for over a decade, as private sector behaviour has a significant impact on social and economic development. Companies, while making profit from the society, should equally be committed to their employees, consumers, the community and environment in which they operate. CSR is not simply ‘doing good’ or mere philanthropy. It involves integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policies and practices into corporate strategy and business operations for the benefit of all. Companies should play a more active role in supporting the community at large, and help underprivileged people benefit from economic development, thus reducing poverty in the long run. International trends are showing the importance of CSR. Since 2012, for example, major stock exchanges around the world ‒ including the London Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, New York Stock Exchange and Deutsche Börse AG ‒ have become partners of the Sustainable Stock Exchange (SSE) initiative. The SSE’s1 recent guidelines suggest that CSR should encompass the broad set of ESG considerations that can impact a company’s ability to execute its business strategy and create value. As people living in poverty can benefit from economic development through enhanced CSR, OHK has been promoting the integration of ESG into corporate policies and business operations since 2004. OHK conducted two pioneering studies in 2008 and 2009 to study the CSR performance of the Hang Seng Index (HSI) constituents by looking at the implementation of their CSR initiatives.
