KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 (Bernama) -- Hong Leong Financial Group Bhd’s (HLFG) net profit for the financial year ended June 30, 2026 (FY2026) rose to RM3.43 billion, a 5.5 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) rise from RM3.25 billion, driven by improved performance across all businesses.

“Our commercial banking arm provides Malaysian investors direct access to global private markets and funds for enhanced portfolio diversification. The bank is also the first in Malaysia to offer Visa’s prestigious newly launched tier, Visa Infinite Privilege credit card, for high-net-worth clients.

“Adding to this ecosystem, a premier legacy planning product made its debut in our life insurance arm with Smart Legacy, which features a RM2 million minimum sum assured. Our fund management arm gained market traction with its newly launched Hong Leong Asia Value Bond fund, developed in partnership with Lombard Odier,” he said.

Tan said HLFG is also actively deploying artificial intelligence across the group, with productivity tools that enable its workforce to focus on high-value strategic priorities.

Looking ahead, he said the group will remain vigilant in navigating prevailing uncertainties from the ongoing geopolitical conflicts in West Asia and evolving protectionist trade policies.

“The group will continue fortifying our business franchises to adapt to an evolving operating landscape while actively pursuing new growth opportunities for sustainable expansion,” he added.
