From the balance sheet perspective, the total asset is over TWD 13.7 trillion. That is up by over 15%. The net worth exceeds TWD 1.2 trillion. That is up by over 55%. Therefore, that brings the adjusted net worth over TWD 1.6 trillion, and adjusted book value per share reached TWD 109.30. In each of the subsidiaries, in Fubon Life, the profit, combined with the FVOCI disposal gain, that reached over TWD 143 billion.
That set another historical high level, while the premium side remained the second-largest, and investment return, the total level reached over 9% plus, including FVOCI disposal gains. In Taipei Fubon Bank, the net income up by over 30% year-over-year. That set another historical high and reached over TWD 25 billion. It was driven by both the NII and also the fee, while the asset quality remained stable. In Fubon Securities, the net income also reached a historical high level that benefit from the trading activity in the Taiwan Stock Market, while its market position remains solid at top three across major business lines.
In Fubon Insurance, the net income also grows at reached TWD 5.5 billion plus, and combined with the FVOCI gains, that reached over TWD 7.4 billion, with the premium growth of over 8% and market share of over 24%, keeping its number one market position, with the combined ratio further improved and also investment return reached over 10%, including the FVOCI gains. In page six, as we assess Fubon's profitability and also the dividend-paying capacity, we will consider both the reported earning and also the realized FVOCI gains. Here we can see the net income of TWD 97 billion, and combined with the FVOCI disposal gains of over TWD 91 billion, put it together, that was equivalent of TWD 13.17 per share. That also set a record high for the same period in the history. In page seven, it shows the profit contribution by subsidiaries.
We can see all major subsidiaries all deliver a year-over-year growth in the first half. Taipei Fubon Bank, Fubon Securities, Fubon Insurance, Fubon Bank (Hong Kong), and Fubon Bank (China) all reach its record high level. In Fubon Life, if we look at the net income together with the FVOCI disposal gain after tax, it also reached the record high. Overall speaking, it demonstrates the strength of Fubon's diversified financial platform nature. In page eight, turning to the balance sheet. As of end of first half, the total asset is over TWD 13.7 trillion. That is up by 15.7%, and the net worth is over TWD 1.2 trillion. That is up by over 55%. On the adjusted net worth basis, including the after-tax CSM, that's reached over TWD 1.6 trillion, and also reached a per share basis of TWD 109.30.
It also worth noting that the unaudited net worth in July remained broadly stable compared to the level of June under the market's volatility. That also demonstrate the resilience of Fubon's capital position under the changing capital market condition. In page nine in terms of the return metrics, the annualized ROA and ROE is 1.47% and 18% respectively. While adding into the FVOCI disposal gains from equity, the adjusted basis of ROA will be 2.85%, and adjusted ROE will be 34.8%. In page 10, we highlight to you the ESG progress in the first half for your reference. Moving to the section of Fubon Life. In page 12, we summarize the key metrics. On the business side, the first-year premium reached NTD 85 billion. That is up by over 35% year-over-year. The new business CSM is NTD 34.9 billion.
That is up by over 11%, while the CSM balance reach over NTD 428 billion. That is up by 6.4% year-to-date. On the financial performance, the net income will be NTD 55.6 billion, while we add the FVOCI equity disposal gains, that's NTD 87.7 billion. So put it together, we will have NTD 143.3 billion. The net worth continue to grow, while the adjusted net worth, including the after-tax CSM, reached NTD 1.2 trillion. Also the equity to asset ratio of 15.3% or adjusted basis of over 21%, that indicate a strong capital position in Fubon Life. In page 13, if we further look into the profit component, the insurance service result is NTD 19.8 billion, mainly supported by the CSM amortization, while the financial result contribute NTD 54 billion, coming from the recurring investment income, the valuation mark to market, and also the realized investment gains.
Including the after-tax FVOCI equity disposal gains, the combined amount will be NTD 143.3 billion. That also bring the ROA and ROE on adjusted basis of 4.56% for adjusted ROA and 40.53% for adjusted ROE. In page 14, the total premium up by 18%+, and mainly driven by the first-year premium up by over 35%. As we can see, the participating policy and also investment-linked product are the key growth driver. Fubon Life maintain its leading position as the second largest in terms of FYP, renewal premium, and also the total premium. In page 15, it shows more detail on the FYP by product and also by channel. As we see, the capital markets strong and therefore support the policy and also investment link. While the strong sales of the U.S. dollar product from the par policy that bring up the share of the non-NTDs share.
So we can see it go up from 60.5% up to 76.1%, if we excluding the investment-linked product for first half 2026 versus 2025. That will be a positive factor from the asset liabilities perspective. By channel, the first-year premium from the tie agent grow by over 40%, and from Taipei Fubon Bank also deliver strong growth of over 80%. Together with other affiliate channels under Fubon Financial, including securities and P&C, et cetera, the internal channels contribute a total of over 85% of the FYP. This also highlights the strength of Fubon's internal platform and cross-selling capability. In the FYPE perspective, it came down by 5.3% year-over-year, mainly reflect a higher mix from the single premium and the shorter term payment product. Even so, the FYPE to FYP ratio of 33.9% still above the industry average.
While the product mix shift is in response to the market condition and also the customer preference, Fubon will continue to maintain a relatively decent business quality. In page 17, from the CSM perspective, the CSM balance reached TWD 428.9 billion as of end of June 26. That increase of about 6.4% year to date. The growth was mainly driven by the new business contribution. CSM release that support the underwriting profit with the release rate of about 3.4% in the first half. The new business CSM growth at 11.4% year-over-year on the right-hand side bar chart, while the new business CSM margin decline that reflect the increase of the sales in the shorter term payment product. While overall speaking, the CSM balance remain an important indicator for the future insurance service result and the long-term business value.
In page 18, it summarize Fubon Life's investment portfolio. Total invested asset reached over TWD 5.4 trillion at the end of June. The fixed income overseas remain the largest asset class, that is about half of the total investment, followed by the domestic fixed income at 16% and domestic equity at 12.1%. The total investment return reached 9.18%, supported by the strong domestic equity market performance. Also at the same time is the high cash level of around 5% plus that continue to be a source for Fubon Life to dynamically adjust its asset location in response to the market condition. In page 19, we look specifically at overseas fixed income. We continue to focus on investment-grade corporate credit and financial bonds. In terms of region, primarily in North America, followed by the Europe and also the Asia and others.
In page 20, this summarize the component of the investment income after the cancellation of the overlay approach in 2026. In first half, the recurring investment income was TWD 79.6 billion. That was the bulk of the investment income. That was TWD 138.3 billion, with the return at 5.35%. Further, if we including the FVOCI disposal gains before tax, that was TWD 99.6 billion and the total amount will reach to TWD 37.9 billion. On the return basis, that will translate into 9.18%. Compared to the same period last year, the increase mainly reflect higher gains in the domestic and also overseas equity market and while the FX-related costs came down. In page 21, here we focus on the hedging and also the FX reserve. As the narrowing of the NT and U.S. interest rate differential that come in more slowly. So the swap cost improve also become more mildly.
While the FX gain losses and also the net provision for FX reserve is stable. In Fubon Life's FX reserve continue to accumulate, which it reached over TWD 153 billion in first half. This also remain as the highest level in the industry. We continue to manage the hedge ratio and also the foreign currency exposure prudently. In page 22, in terms of the spread, the cost of liability improved year-over-year, which reflect the adoption of the IFRS 17 under the current rate basis. The spread between investment returns and cost of liability. Also the recurring ones that remain positive. The total investment return, including FVOCI disposal gains, outperformed the same period last year. That bring to a widened spread and same for the recurring yield after hedge and FX provision, also widening that reflect a lower hedging ratio and also the reduced hedging cost.
In page 23, the net worth during the first half was further improved, driven by the net income contribution, a higher FVOCI's asset on back of the equity market, and also a lower insurance account liability due to the higher risk-free rate in Taiwan and U.S. The adjusted basis of the net worth also shows the adjusted equity to asset ratio of 21.2%. This shows Fubon Life a solid capital buffer. In page 25, we move on to Taipei Fubon Bank. Taipei Fubon Bank delivered a strong revenue growth in the first half. The total revenue increased by 25.8%, mainly supported by the net interest income growth of 27% and also the net fee income of over 39%. The NII growth reflected both the volume and also the margin.
The fee income now accounts for over 30% of the revenue mix, compared to about 22% in year 2023. The combination of the balance sheet expansion with the stronger fee income continued to improve the bank's earning quality and also the revenue mix. In page 26, the credit balance increased 14.9% year-over-year. Excluding the government lending, we can see both the corporate and retail credit are double-digit growth. That reflected the franchise expansion and also the healthy customer demand across major business lines. In page 27, for corporate credit, the NT dollar book increased over 8% year-over-year, which is supported by the SME growing at over 11%. The foreign currency book grew even faster at 27% year-over-year and accounts for 38% of the total corporate credit.
That is up by more than 3.6 percentage points for the same period last year. That also reflected corporate clients' cross-border funding demand and also the bank's continuous expansion in the foreign currency book. In page 28, on the retail side, the mortgage increased by 11.6% year-over-year, mainly driven by the home equity loans. Other personal lending mainly reflected the unsecured consumer loans growth at over 40% year-over-year growth. The bank continued to emphasize the customer quality, credit discipline, and also the risk-based pricing. In page 29, the deposit perspective. Overall speaking, it remained healthy and increased by over 15% year-over-year, mainly driven by a higher growth in the NT dollar book. The foreign currency loan to deposit ratio is up and reached 35.8%.
The bank continued to have a stable funding base and support the further loan growth. In page 30, in terms of the margin, net interest margin increased by 12 bps year-on-year and reached 1.3%, mainly benefiting from the widening of loan deposit spread. This spread increased by 26 basis points year-on-year and reached 1.48%, and that reflected the deposit structure improvement and also the loan structure optimization. Going forward, the bank continued to manage the structure mix and also asset allocation to sustain the margin improvement. In page 31, the asset quality. It remained a benign level, while the NPL and coverage ratio stayed above industry average. The asset quality across major business lines also shows a stable trend or improvement. The provision mainly reflected the general provision, so the annualized credit cost is about 11 basis points.
In page 32, for credit card business. The card spending increased by 13.3% year-over-year, mainly driven by the growth of overseas spending and also the Costco affinity card spending. The credit cards NPL also remain benign and outperform the industry average. In page 33, the fee income shows a strong momentum. The total fee up by 39.5% year-over-year. The growth is across all business lines, while the main contributor, the wealth management fee, increase even higher at 44.2% year-over-year. They also reflect growth across the board. That also support the bank's strategic focus to deepen the customer's engagement to expand the wealth management capabilities. In page 34, the overseas branch operation.
We continue to expand regionally, so we can see the deposit and loans at the overseas branches in Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore together that increased by 24.8% in deposit and 32% for loans. The bank continued to deepen the coverage of Taiwanese corporate and also the regional market. Additionally, the new branches in Tokyo, it start operation in May, and followed by Sydney branch in July, while the India branch we aim to commence the operation by end of this year. This development will further strengthen the bank's overseas services capability and also the cross-border banking franchise. Next, let's move on to page 36 regarding Fubon Securities. Fubon Securities deliver a very strong first half result, while its net income reached over TWD 11 billion. That is up by over 170% year-on-year.
That is also higher than the full year 2025's earning and reach a record high. The result is supported by the strong trading activity and also the record high index level in Taiwan Stock Market, while the company also maintain the top three market share in all major business, including brokerage, margin loans, and security lending.

While the financial performance, the insurance service result of TWD 4.8 billion, and also the financial result of about TWD 1.9 billion.
Net income, including the FVOCI disposal gains, that would reach a total of TWD 7.4 billion. The net worth will be over TWD 38 billion, and also the equity to asset ratio of 29.8%. That indicate a solid capital position. In page 39, Fubon Insurance continue to maintain its decent top-one market position, while the net combined ratio continue to improve. As we can see here, it further down to 86.9% compared to 89.4% a year ago. They reflect the continuous optimization of the business mix and also the risk control.
