Strategies of the financial as well as subsidiaries. That we will have Q&A session. Analysts and our friends are welcome to present any questions. Slido can be also used. After the meeting, we will be able to keep in touch with you to talk to you in detail. I'll pass the floor to Jenny.
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. I will present the financial results for KGI Financial in 2025. KGI Financial's revenue amounted to TWD 30.1 billion with an EPS of 1.64. Factoring in the TWD 5.9 billion to the FX valuation reserves and one-off calendar effects, the profit would hit a record high in 2025. In addition to a robust life subsidiary, securities and banks together generated TWD 18.3 billion, growing by 16% year-on-year, laying a solid foundation for our dividend payouts.
Turning to net worth, due to rolling asset prices in the OCI, the number reached TWD 32.7 billion. At TWD 20.2 billion higher from the end of 2024, the book value per share for common share was TWD 18.35. Allow me to present the results for the first two months of 2026 before I present the results for subsidiaries. For the first two months of this year, KGI Financial profit amounted to TWD 9.7 billion. Factoring the proceeds from disposing equities in OCI, the number would hit TWD 19.6 billion, growing significantly year-on-year, and both numbers hit record highs. Notably, the proceeds did not go into the current P&L, but it will be directly reflected in the retained earnings, which are available for distribution. For the financial stability, as you can see here, the double leverage ratio has reduced to 118%, and subsidiaries have maintained robust capital adequacy ratios.
Now we will now present the results of the subsidiaries KGI Life. In 2025, the net income amounted to TWD 15.8 billion, as I have mentioned. Factoring in the appreciation to the FX valuation reserves, the number would exceed TWD 20 billion. Next, please. For premium income, the business momentum rallied in 2025, FYP grew by 33% year-on-year. Product strategy will focus on protection, USD-denominated policies, and ILP to drive CSM and reduce currency mismatch. For sales channels, we will continue to develop different channels. As you can see here, we see increase across different channels. As you can see here, the brokerage channel increased by 100%, therefore, its contribution to FYP reached 12%. The regular paid products still see some tail-off due to the shelving of health products which created higher base.
The growth of this product was not comparable to single-paid and ILP, therefore the percentage of this product has lowered. In 2025, the CMB amounted to TWD 18 billion, and the overall policy CMB margin was 23%, slightly lower than last year, mainly due to the shelving of certain products in 2024. For COL, it's 3.12%, and investment yield was 3.21%. Factoring the one-off appropriation to the FX valuation reserves, the full year investment yield would hit 3.47%, which was slightly lower year-on-year due to increased hedging cost. As you may know, in 2025, we have seen some special circumstances of FX, we will explain that in detail. For portfolio, as you can see from this slide, domestic equity increased to 9.2%. In addition to increased market shares, we also may build good portfolio.
The percentage of domestic equities, we underweight overseas bond position mainly because we are meeting the foreign currency of TWD policy back to optimize ALM. The recurring yield before hedge was 3.6%, slightly lower year-on-year, mainly due to the appreciation of TWD that resulted in reduction in interest denominated in NTD, and because of a larger denominator created by increased equity prices. The full year hedging cost stood at 2.56% due to the strengthening of TWD. The resulting FX loss in the first half. In spite of the depreciation in the late third half of last year, FX gain had to go to the FX reserves instead of P&L. The hedging ratio was 65% by the end of 2025. Notably, KGI will continue to contribute to FX valuation reserves. The balance reached TWD 43.3 billion by the end of 2025.
In addition, the amortization of AC bonds will lead to a more stable hedging cost. Strategically, the reserves will buffer FX volatilities. We will gradually adjust our hedging ratio to reduce hedging costs. We will continue to contribute to the reserves to increase management resilience. Next page, please. For KGI Bank, net income stood at TWD 6.8 billion, hitting a record high with a year-on-year growth of 23%. Since the opening in July 2025, the Hong Kong Branch had over 350 clients. You can see the efforts put in by the bank management team. Next page. In 2025, the net revenues amounted to TWD 17.8 billion, growing by 11% year-on-year. Net income grew by 12%. Wealth management had the best performance, growing by 24% year-on-year.
It has grown by more than 20% for more than three years in a row. Fee income from fund and insurance grew by more than 30% year-on-year. For spread was slightly lower year-on-year, mainly due to continued momentum of corporate loans and mortgage. NIM increased to 1.37%, up by 7 basis points year-on-year, mainly due to the improvement in net spread of bonds. Additionally, the proportion of the loan increased from 58% -61% at max, resulting in net spread higher than other financial assets. Therefore, the NIM increased gradually. The quality of assets has remained robust. NPL in 2025 was 0.18%. That was 2 basis points lower than that of 2024. Excluding the single case, the NPL would decrease to 0.11%. Loan has continued to grow. Consumer and corporate loans both saw double-digit growth.
For deposits, demand deposits grew by 11%. The number of new customer accounts increased to 110,000. Thanks to One KGI strategy, the balance of security settlement account by 25%, reducing front cost further. Next page, please. KGI Securities in 2025 generated TWD 11.5 billion, growing 14% year-on-year. The ROE was 17.2%, beating the industry average. From the upper left-hand side, you can see in 2025, the brokerage commissions have contributed to TWD 30.7 billion of net revenues, accounting for around 16%-17% of net revenues in recent years. This has offered a stable source of income. KGI Securities account for 11.2% of the market share. With a booming market, the transaction volume may approach 1 trillion. This will drive KGI's profitability. Thanks to the efforts in recent years, our customers now can enjoy a full range of wealth management services.
In 2025, wealth management business generated TWD 3.5 billion, and this number almost tripled compared with the number three years ago. As you can see from your right-hand side, KGI Securities led the market in brokerage and underwriting. Notably, the 11.2% market share among us, KGI Securities leads the market in terms of our investments. Next page. In 2025, CDIB generated a profit of TWD 500 million, mainly due to mark-to-market. The management fee increased to TWD 1 billion, hitting a record high. For One KGI efforts, KGI Securities developed a USD product exclusively for Wealth Management 2.0. Product is CDIB Private Equity Partners. The fundraising was completed in 2025, and the fund size was $138.1 billion. For asset management, CDIB for two consecutive years raised more than TWD 110 billion, and it has launched new funds focusing on health and AI industries to maintain the momentum for fundraising.
AUM reached TWD 61.8 billion by the end of 2025. Factoring in principal investments, the AUM reached TWD 100 billion. Next page. KGI SITE AUM reached TWD 310 billion by the end of 2025, excluding TWD 80 billion contributed by the 9816 ETF, and the fund size reached TWD 80 billion now. For ETF business, to cater to the needs of investors, KGI SITE in 2025 launched two balanced ETFs. We named Recognition. The 9816 has been gaining popularity, and the size increased from TWD 9 billion to TWD 80 billion by the end of March. The number of beneficiaries of KGI SITE ETF increased from 600,000 by the end of February to 900,000 by the end of March, and this is a significant growth.
This is my presentation for the 2025 financial results, and I will pass forward to the Chief Actuary, Rochelle.
Investors, friends from media, good afternoon. Next, I will talk about our transition to IFRS 17. Please go to page 25. This is the changes in equity by the end of 2025. Our original figure was TWD 200.8 billion, and because liability is measured at a fair value and our high rate policy accounts for the lowest retention among peers, therefore, there is a positive impact of TWD 44.1 billion on equity. For asset, because of the changes, some bond adopting AC method are redesigned to FVOCI. Although there is a negative impact of TWD 30.6 billion, but it helps the matching of asset and liability and reduce net worth volatility. In sum, transitioning to IFRS 17, the figure is positive TWD 13.5 billion, and our net worth ratio has increased from 8.4%- 9.1%.
Due to our product strategy and product mix changes, our CSM, opening CSM is TWD 235 billion. If we consider CSM, our equity is TWD 402.4 billion, which has doubled compared to the past, and the ratio has reached 17.2%. In addition, we have obtained approval from the regulator using 140% as the solvency target, maintaining the capital robustness of life insurance and financial holding company. Next slide. I will talk about the changes of asset and liability after the transition. It is due to the reclassification and also policy loan turned into insurance contract liability. Due to the fact that contract liability is measured at fair value and CSM is now a liability, the CSM has reached TWD 235 billion, representing 10% of liability, and this will be gradually released into P&L in the future.
Next slide. Page 27, we talk about the financial asset redesignation to match less [inaudible] liability. Our AC position has lowered from 74% to 56%, and to lower the P&L volatility, most equity asset is now put into FVOCI. Next slide. Page 28. This is the overall impact under IFRS 17. There are three main parts: insurance service result. The CSM is 235. It will be released into P&L gradually in the future and the main source of income. Second, financial result is investment income minus liability cost. The CLR is around 2.2%-2.3%. AC loss can be amortized and recognized, and it can reduce the impact of FX fluctuation on P&L. However, valuation changes in FVTPL will still cause P&L fluctuation. Number three, indirect cost provision for mortality, interest spread, offset reserve, and also ILPs fee income of non-IFRS items.
Echoing what Jenny said, originally the disposal of gain loss of FVOCI stock now will be classified as distributable earnings. If we add this back, this can reflect the actual operation results of a company. This is the part regarding the transition to IFRS 17. I would like to pass the floor to Paul, the President of KGI Financial Holding.
Investors, good afternoon. I will now talk about Financial Holding and our subsidiaries' achievements in 2025, and also ongoing strategies moving to 2026. From Financial Holding's perspective, we have three main pillars. First, optimize financial structure. Second, maintain a prudent dividend policy. In addition to prudent and also predictable, this is also an important indicator. Number three, deepen One KGI platform to drive the group's business growth.
In terms of financial structure optimization, as outlined by the CFO earlier, we have talked about concrete results in profit growth, capital management, and risk control. For the dividend part, I will leave it to the last because a lot of attention are paid to this part. I will save that to the last. Number three is One KGI strategy. When we talk about One KGI, we go beyond cross-subsidiary collaboration. We further invest in fundamental capabilities that can amplify synergies over the long run. I'll give you some examples. First, we will establish an incentive framework across subsidiaries to align organizational behavior with the group objective. Sounds easy, but if you look at the details, there are a lot of KPI designs, redesign processes.
It's very detailed, I want to thank our team over the past two years on their efforts regarding these housecleaning foundation for future growth. System integration and upgrading platforms using AI and digital tools to deliver a unifying experience for both our customers and employees. This is also easier said than done, we need to invest in them constantly, we have done a lot over the past year, and we'll continue to do so moving forward. Last but not least, innovation and integration. We also need to proceed them under rigorous compliance and risk management. We need to be compliant and meet the standard required by the regulator. In 2025, we have seen some initial results, and I would like to share some with you today. In 2025, our retail banking has added 110,000 new deposit accounts.
Over 30% were referred to by KGI Securities, indicating that cross-subsidiary collaboration has become a key customer acquisition driver, and our deposit balance has grew 25% YoY. Overall, retail deposit up 15%, and Cost-to-Income Ratio rose to 56%. I think this is the level as 1st-tier banks, and this has improved fund mix and interest spread. In less than one year since its launch, through the cooperation of KGIS Hong Kong, KGIB Hong Kong bank has surpassed TWD 1.5 billion in deposits, validating the replicability of One KGI in overseas market. It's not just about securities and banking. In the Q4 last year, KGI Life partnered with KGI SITE to launch KGI Taiwan PiPiGo discretionary accounts. By March end this year, the AUM has reached TWD 5.3 billion, achieving 265% of the original target. Expanding the diversity of ILP solutions demonstrates the power of cross-subsidiary collaboration. Moving on to KGI Life.
Following the adoption of IFRS 17, Life has entered a new phase, centered on value management. We have built up a sizable CSM of TWD 235 billion, underpinning more stable and predictable earnings. On product strategy, we focus on foreign currency, protection type, and ILP products, while strengthening capital management and ALM to ensure resilience across varying rates and market environments. In response to the Taiwanese insurance market, which is very different from the past, it has evolved over time. To be frank, the penetration rate of insurance is very high. Every person has around four to five policies. Policy itself is not just insurance, it's also an investment tool. After the launch of ETFs, consumers have more options. Investment is not just term deposit or buying insurance policies. There are a lot of active, passive ETFs. There are a lot of options for customers.
As an insurer, in addition to providing insurance services, how can we increase our added value? In response to aging population and low birth rate, KGI Life's mission is more than an insurance provider. Through cross-industry partnership, we are extending into health, medical, long-term care, retirement, high net worth service scenarios to deliver a tangible uplift for policy holders. At the same time, KGI Life is one of our priority units for AI deployment and digital transformation, enhancing efficiency and customer experience from sales channels to after-sales services. Insurance is now all encompassing to solve pain points of customers. A lot of people are wealthy enough to pay more than what NHI covered. Good medical resources sometimes cannot be bought with money. How can we align these resources to provide differentiated services? I think this is very important. Next, moving on to the bank.
Although the bank's size is relatively small within the group, to overcome the shortcoming of insufficient locations, driven by One KGI, we are advancing integrated banking security operation. This year we will add eight more locations. In 2025, it has successfully supported 35% growth in new customers, 25% growth in deposit balance. In addition, in wealth management, we've continued to deliver outstanding results. In 2025, we have obtained approvals from Wealth Management 2.0 and Asian Asset Management Center license, launched Lombard lending and premium financing, further expanding the breadth and depth of our service offerings. Although the bank is relatively small, we strive to match the standards of leading banks in Taiwan in terms of product and services. We can also use that to our advantage. For example, we digitally connect ecosystem to broaden customer acquisition touch points.
For example, Eslite, we have launched the co-branded credit cards and successfully penetrated their high-tier membership base with a high proportion of new customers. In addition, we have partnered with several compliant crypto exchanges, and we are part of the first wave of the pilot program for virtual asset custodian services. I believe we have three in total. Although our scale is not as big, but we have our ways to cooperate with different industries to overcome the difficulties of insufficient service location. Over the past year, we have seen a lot of results. Since the launch of the Hong Kong branch, just like what Jenny said previously, we leveraged our KGIS Securities foundation over the past 20 years. When we launched the bank branch, our deposit has went above our expectation. For KGIS Securities, we are the second-largest security house in Taiwan.
Driven by active capital market, we have continued to deliver strong profit performance over the long term. Securities serve as a key platform that seamlessly connect capital market with wealth management services. For brokerage and wealth management, we focus on client segmentation. We upgrade our platform and tools to grow market share and enhance customer stickiness. For platform enhancement, we introduce tools such as AI assistant, quantitative solution, strategy-based stock selection, so that customers with different profiles can trade and invest with a better overall experience. For regional expansion, we are linking platforms in Hong Kong and Singapore to broaden our international wealth management business. We continue to diversify revenue sources for the security. We also are closely tracking emerging opportunities such as STO and RWA. These new business, we continue to pay attention to them.
We view them as new mid to long-term growth engines. For KGI SITE, Jenny has also covered it. What I want to say is the core strategy over the past years, it has used ETF as a gateway for engaging customers. We don't stop here. We build long-term trust in asset management and build long-term relationship with our customers. SITE customers, they have plans for long-term financial planning, so they serve as a important portal entryway to the group's client service ecosystem. Through different events, we have built a long-term community. Like I said, it's an important portal to the group's client service ecosystem. On the product front, KGI SITE has launched multiple ETFs, active mutual funds, retirement investment solutions, and they have different philosophies for clients across different life stages. They are also a service provider in this regard.
Under this foundation, starting from this year, we will build our own content platform, generate a lot of related content. we are not just a fun house, we are also a company that has direct relation with our customers, and I think this is what make us different from our peers in Taiwan. Last but not least, CDIB. CDIB plays a pivotal role in the group as a key platform for alternative investment. It is the oldest member within the group. The role that it play is not just with financial holding, it also plays an important role for Taiwan's industry upgrade. we will continue to focus on industrial upgrade, global supply chain reconfiguration, AI deployment, and energy transition. This is our tradition, and we will continue to do so, just like what Jenny said.
Originally, we invest our own money, our principal investments after 2008, through the leadership of Melanie, 2/3 of funds are external funds. We are now an asset manager. moving forward, CDIB will play another role. We will focus on high-net-worth and family office clients, and provide products that is suitable to these high-net-worth customers, like private equities. A lot of banks want to do private banking, but most banks, I can say that fairly, private banking offering can see it in branches. they didn't offer what private banking really needs, and CDIB has its know-how and network. We will look at some overseas product, repackage them, and to tailor them that meets Taiwan investors' needs. For example, private equity, private credit, venture capital in technology and biomedicine. The tenor is around 5- 10 years, and sometimes it can be renewed. These are deterrents for Taiwan high-net-worth investors.
Last year, we have a new product, and we have raised over TWD 90 million, and it's also a principal guaranteed investment because the tenor that Taiwan investor can accept is around six. we optimize overseas product and turn it into something that's favorable to Taiwanese investors. I think this is a rate that we are working towards moving forward. We are curating these products, and that differentiates ourselves with our peers. this is what I want to share with you. From moving from investment, principal investment to asset manager, our recurring income has continued to grow and exceeded TWD 1 billion last year. Next year, I think all the expenses can be covered by fixed recurring income, and it can be also upstream to the financial holding. we do not pursue growth in silos. All subsidiaries work hard to develop their own business.
Each has its own highlight. for financial holding, we work hard to work as one company, so that we are not just a financial holding company, we are an actual financial service provider. this is our vision, and I think I'll stop here. Do you have any questions? If not, the first question is related to dividends, and I think I can answer it directly. Over the past few years, investors who make investment in financial holding companies are very special because they expect cash dividends from the financial holding companies, and that's not disputable. when I look at the PBR, PE, KGI Financial Holding Co., these numbers are not very high, and we are requested for paying high very dividend yield. I think that's my fault.
I'm the one to blame, because if we do not communicate our dividend policy clearly, naturally investors will have a higher expectation because high risk, higher return. To solve this issue, we need to build a transparent communication channel to clearly communicate our dividend payout policies. Over the past few months, if you read our news press releases, you would see that we have been explaining the sources for our dividend payouts. We hope by doing so, we will be able to provide an easier way to predict our dividend payouts. I will say something again, but I will say something new, of course. For the dividends coming from subsidiaries, for example, securities and bank, they are key-based company. If we follow business as usual, 70% of their profits can go to the financial holding for dividend payouts.
For KGIL, due to the IFRS 17 transition over the past few years, the regulator did not set very The environment does not have a very clear policy, because everything has to be settled and balanced. I believe that after the transition to IFRS and IFRS 17, we will have a clearer picture, a more predictable rule. Every insurance company have to maintain their liquidity and RBC to make contributions to their parent company, the companies and the government are still discussing, and I hope next year, KGIL will be able to provide a more clear range of numbers. I do not know the rule for now, so it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just because I don't know. We are still discussing the matter.
If we know the rule next year, you will be able to know the percentage contributed by KGIL for dividend payout. After the transition this year, the realized capital gain and the OCI will now be reflected in the net income in KGIL. I ask the finance department to announce net income of subsidiaries and the part affecting dividend payouts of KGIL. This is how we are trying to provide a more transparent information for you to understand and predict our dividend payout. This is our attachment for our dividend payout policy for cash dividends. Last year we issued stock dividends. That was the first time in a very long time.
In the future, we will be leaning towards cash dividends. When do we issue our stock dividends? We will issue stock dividends because our double leverage ratio was 112% last year, and now the number is 118%, and the number is safer by comparison. I can tell you that we will not consider issuing stock dividends because people prefer cash dividends to stock dividends. Still, we need to propose this to the board. I propose to the board that we issue a 100% cash dividends. Secondly, based on our performance, we will recommend to our board that we issue more cash dividends than the total dividends of last year. This year it's 100% cash, and it's not lower than 49 last year. This is something that I can present you with. Do you have any other questions?
I would like to invite analysts to raise your questions. Please identify yourselves before raising your questions.
Jamie from JPMorgan. I have a few questions. What's your full-year prospects for your operation, for example, on the fee income growth and credit costs, as well as relevant trends for KGIL. Would you please share with us some information about transition? You mentioned CSM is around TWD 235 billion. What's the amortization rate for this, and do you have the number for ROE? Page 28, the operation expense under IFRS 17, how do we come up with a more recurring or usual number? The book value accretion into the transition will incur a higher impact on the KGIL compared with the financial holding. Why is that? Will that affect our PBA? Because we know there are part of PBA for amortization on the financial holding side.
Will that affect amortization? Other companies also provided their sensitivity on interest for FX. Why do we need to have a higher GIS? Because the benefit is not high if we exceeded our GIS. We'd have a higher GIS. For KGIL, what's your preliminary CSM last year? If we divide the margin by the FYP, what's the number? Judging from the product next year, this year, do we see any changes to the ratio for dividend guidance? If we combine the profits of securities and bank, times it by 70%, that's around 0.75%. If we want to achieve that to 0.95%, do we have some money coming from KGIL this year?
Thank you, Jamie. The prospect of KGI Bank, our loan growth stood at 11%, we maintain our business momentum, so our growth rate will maintain, stood at a high single digits, approximately the number of last year.
Paul mentioned that we need to expand our portfolio size. We aim for a double digit for deposit size. For capital light strategy, we will continue to put in efforts because for more than three years we have more than 20% growth, next year we aim for more than 20% for wealth management. For NIM, thanks to One KGI, the cost of fund has been reducing slowly, we expect the NIM next year to be higher than 1.37 last year. It's around 1.37%-1.4%. For credit costs, the asset growth is very contained, the credit cost will stand at 10 basis points- 15 basis points next year. For the amortization rate, it's 6.5%. For ROE, it's 1% for [inaudible]. The number released is not very significant.
For operation expense under IFRS 17, some of them go to the direct expense, some of them goes to indirect expense. It's approximately 50% of IFRS 4. For interest sensitivity, here's the result for your reference. The USD interest fluctuating more than TWD. If USD increased by 5 basis points and TWD appreciate by one -third of USD, that will drive our net yield ratio up by 0.5%. For CSM margin, it's affected by our product mix. Let me provide you with some numbers. For IS products, for short-term IS product, the margin is around 10%-30%. For long-term IS products, it's around 70% or higher. For protection A&H, it depends on the types, whether it's term, whole life, or riders or main policy. It's around 250%-600% for ILP.
Some of the ILP cannot be categorized under IFRS 17, so it is not the same, but it will also generate the income for the company. For those that is able to categorize under IFRS 17, the number is around 2%-10%. Why do you apply for 144 TIS? The RBC was 363% last year. Considering the consistency and sustainability, we estimate and evaluate our numbers, so we apply to the government for the number of 140. After the transition, will you impact the net worth? After KGI Financial Holding Co. acquired KGI Life, the fair value of liability, there is a positive impact on the insurance liability. The cost of liability is mark to market, so the positive impact needs to be offset negatively, and that is the main difference. We also need to offset the insurance sold cost. There is on the financial holding side.
Although the net worth of KGIL increased by TWD 13.5 billion, with the impact on the financial holding, our debt number is positive, TWD 4.1 billion. For cash dividends, Paul mentioned that according to laws and regulation, 70% of the profit needs to go to the financial holding company. If there is a positive offset of OCI, you also need to factor in the number. The number of this year exceeds our plan, but we still have to expect KGIL to contribute some. If it falls short of expectation, we can still keep the CLR.
You can raise your hand to raise your questions.
Tina. I have a question for KGIL. Do we have an addition in TWD 30 billion-TWD 35 billion for CSM? Also, what is the trend for recurring yield? What level do you expect this year?
For hedging ratio, the hedging ratio is a bit higher compared to other lifers. If you are amortizing AC, bonding AC, is it possible to reduce the hedging ratio? What is the hedging cost for this year? Do you have the range? Also, for KGIL, you will adopt IFRS 17. What is your usual ROE? What is the range? For KGIB , I look at the net withdrawal as the number is lower last year because of a smaller single withdrawal or other reasons for that?
The new business is around TWD 30 billion-TWD 35 billion. That is our goal this year. For recurring yield, we predict this year the goal is the same as last year, around 3.6%-3.7%. For hedging ratio, indeed, by the end of December, the figure is high, and it has decreased beginning this year. Through AC, we can save hedging point cost, and it can also contribute to our FX reserve. This is our strategy. By the end of February, our hedging ratio is around 40%. Our guidance this year, the hedging cost will be around 1%-1.5%. Regarding ROE target and expectation, we want to maintain above 10% of ROE. For the bank, for your last question regarding credit cost in 2024, because we have an overseas case. So the credit cost is higher that year, and 2025, going back to normal.
A normal growth. The figure has returned to normal, around 12 basis points. I will ask some questions online. One is regarding KGI Life, the CLR after the transition. Just like what I said, in 2026, if we look at our asset, it is 2.2%-2.3%.
Good afternoon. I have a few questions. First, before adoption, the media and the public are talking about how difficult it is, and we need to increase our capital. As of now, it does not seem to be the case. Can the management talk about after the transition this year, what are the plans for capital increase?
Our GIS itself, enough is okay. Second, Paul mentioned for KGI SITE this year, it has grown a lot. If we look at Cathay Financial Holding, they have bigger moves this year.
They use life resources, for example, fund, they allocate it to SITE. For KGI, what is your evaluation? Is this something that we will do and consider, or we will be still on the fence to wait and see what our peers do? Number three, regarding FX. Internationally, Trump, U.S. investment, requiring different country to invest in the U.S., for example, Taiwan is also the case, increasing our investment in the U.S. Because of the hedging new regulation, new hedging regulation, there are a lot of sell-off in foreign investments. The exchange rate has fluctuated a lot to 31.9. Moving forward, is there a scenario analysis if TWD depreciate by 0.1%, FX valuation reserves will increase, and how will it affect our P&L? Because in the past, hedging cost and FX P&L has a big impact on P&L.
Starting from the second half of the year, due to the new scheme, the impact is not as big. These differences in the face of a big fluctuation, how will it affect us? Number four, for CSM, as of last year, our pre-tax CSM is, and also we talked about the CSM this year, the targets. My question is: Is there a prediction every year recognized while growth moving forward? Because after adoption for the insurance industry profit, CSM plays an important role for profit generation. We want to know the momentum, how big it is. Last, for ROI, COL has dropped. Recurring yield, 3.6%-3.7% pre-tax, I assume, and hedging cost is 1%-1.5%. My question is: After hedging the recurring yield minus contract cost, subtracting cost that does not belong to CSM, how much profit can it generate?
For the impact on capital after adoption, during adoption, we have a bigger requirement for capital, but because there is a 15-year transition that we can accumulate over the future 15 years. In addition to new contracts, new business, a focus for us to meet the target. In addition, we have prepared to issue sub-debt, and we have asked for approval for TWD 20 billion, and we have already issued TWD 10 billion, so there is also TWD 10 billion left. This is our capital plan for the transition. For spread, currently, just like what Rochelle said, pre-hedge is 3.6%-3.7%, and COL is 1%-1.5%. If we deduct related cost, our spread is around 40 basis points-50 basis points.
For FX this year, TWD is depreciating, because under the new scheme, all fluctuations will be turned to reserve, especially under AC, the FX fluctuations and the impact has been minimalized. For the fluctuation of 1%, the impact of reserve is around TWD 140 million. For the CSM amortized growth, we want to see double-digit growth. For KGI SITE, I cannot comment on our peers' action. They have their consideration. For ourselves, we have high expectations, and I also want to compliment our KGI SITE team. They started from a very low base, and their product has been viewed highly in the market, for example, the 9816. My expectation for them is higher. Every KGI SITE in the market, whether it is ETF or other mutual funds, our portfolio of funds is higher than equity.
I think the most important thing for us is to understand our customer and to build relationship with our customer. I think, like what I said, the most important thing, whether you are in what business, securities, banking, KGI SITE, our goal is to create value for our customers. For KGI SITE, if you buy KGI SITE products, you are the beneficiary indeed. How do we turn beneficiary into clients to have direct relation? I think this is what we focus on. Scale is important. We also continue to focus on that. For example, KGI Life supports KGI SITE. A big part of that is on the investment platform. It is offered by KGI SITE. Under One KGI, there are a lot of cross-subsidiary collaboration. We want to find the right amount and establish relation with our customers, and this is our current goal.
For our peers, I think they have their own reasons doing so.
I have a question regarding macroeconomy. Because of the US-Iran war, for the financial holding, what is our outlook for inflation? There might not be rate cuts, rather it might increase, and what is our countermeasure? Due to inflation, the impact on global economy, what is our overseas strategy? Second, can you talk about for the Kaohsiung asset center, will we consider going to Tainan? Because Tainan is also now doing the same thing. Is Tainan an option for you?
Regarding macroeconomy, as of now, in the market for Fed, whether it will cut rates, I think it is very different compared to last year due to the war. Trump this morning also gave a 20-minute speech to talk about how great he was. The war will not end soon. We know that the information is changing constantly.
Inflation is going up, indeed. Whether Fed will cut rates based on future, I do not think there will be rate cuts. It is very different from last year. Once the war ended, if, a lot of things will change. Our view is that the Fed, in the future, if inflation goes up greatly, there are a few impacts that will affect their economy negatively. Cut rate might be their option, but maintaining the rates as now is also an option. For us, after adoption of IFRS 17, our asset and liability, if it is not AC, it needs to be marked to market. ALM is an important focus for investments. How can we lower whether it is currency and duration mismatch? This is something that we need to focus on in terms of product and investment strategy. First is ALM, very important.
Our goal, just like what we said previously, Jenny has mentioned, our overseas bond, when it matures, we return them to lower the mismatch. This is my answer. Thank you.
For AAMC, in the later half of last year, in the third or fourth quarter, we were approved for Wealth Management 2.0 and AAMC, the bank consider that as a very important strategy. Within six months, we have launched many products for the AAMC, including Lombard lending and premium financing. For product development, we hope we aim for a standard in Hong Kong and Singapore, that's why our business is encouraging. Both Wealth Management 2.0 AAMC generate AUM for more than TWD 2 billion. The AAMC cross-border financing and so on. After the opening of the Hong Kong branch, our deposit amount to TWD 1.5 billion with more than 350 clients. Two weeks ago, we were approved for Type I and Type IV.
Next step, we are going to engage HKMA, that will drive our wealth management business and the AAMC business, as well as overseas wealth management businesses.
Good afternoon, Economic Daily News. I have two questions. The first, for the Middle East crisis for KGI, would you please provide exposure in Middle East? Will you remit overseas bond back to Taiwan to also make any changes to your equity position? For acquisition, what should CDIB build for overseas and domestic opportunities?
For exposure in the Middle East, we do not have any exposure in Iran, and our exposure in the region is a bond issued by a country with a credit rating above A. While we are adjusting our position for equities, as you know, starting when the AI became popular, we have seen good opportunities for that.
For domestic equity, we buy more, and we will focus on that in the future. For M&A, mergers and acquisition, we focus on acquired banks, but we do not currently have any progress at hand, but we are open to many opportunities.
I'm from CNA. We have a virtual assets law passing today, and we would like to know your view on the stablecoin for the future. For KGI Life, you are adjusting asset and liability. Are you open to any real estate opportunities? Also, you mentioned the health zone of more than Taipei 101. What's the purpose of making investments there?
For our real estate investment, we are looking at logistics. We have invested TWD 300 million in public infrastructure, and also the other ground. The land right in Xinyi District will be settled this month, and we will also build a health ecosystem.
Starting from last year, we went on tours overseas. In April, we will visit Japan in terms of combining our insurance profession with the trends and needs for health. We are exploring opportunities for working with other industries. After we build the ecosystem, we will be able to drive FYP further, and also that will meet the needs generated by lower birthrate, population aging, and changing demographics. That's our plan, but I cannot present you with a certain version because we are still planning. For virtual assets, KGI Bank has been leading the market in terms of virtual assets, and we are working with Tether for a long time.
In the first quarter of this year, KGI Bank was one of the few banks engaging the business, and we have worked with five vendors for VASP using HSM, and that is a special wallet to keep the assets. For the passage of the act this year, we remain open to that, and we now know how to keep the virtual asset for VASP. We also have very good relations with our corporate customers, and these customers are asking us to see whether we can offer our land and our planned opportunities, and we hope to provide service for them. For stablecoin, we will continue to engage with Tether, which is a very important partner, and that is a very important strategy for our future.
I have a question from UBS analyst, and that question is directed to KGI Life. The operating expenditure is around 50% of the IFRS 4.
Does that include the interest cost of supporting net debt? Can we have the break-even points?
50% under the IFRS 4, it does not include provision for mortality interest spreads. These two are not affected by the transition. For break-even points, that is not imagined here internally. We do not have that number for now.
Two questions. For private credits, CDIB renamed AGPIL in February. Can I see a more active strategy, and do you see any opportunities internationally? Congratulate and for the performance of 9816. In the future, what's your product strategy?
Thank you for your questions. I am Melanie from CDIB. For private credits On the book, the majority of them are backed by tangible assets as collateral. Our annual yield exceeds 11%. From risk and return profile, I think that is a very good asset allocation.
For partnership renaming, indeed, as Paul mentioned earlier, CDIB played a role in the financial holding company. We can source good products overseas. Although there's some headwinds hitting the private credit. Nonetheless, if you choose better, it's a very good tool for diversification. We are making plans. If appropriate, we will launch relevant products based on the underlyings. KGI SITE. Our product strategy for asset management, we need to focus on retirement. I think Taiwan's our home market. That is the most important. Our product strategy, we'll focus on making a fuller range of products. Investors actually require services instead of product sales. We also hope to build a relationship or portal with the investor to build a long-term relationship with the investors. We do not want to do a one-time product push.
We want to offer a retirement solution, and that is the thing of our product strategy. This year, I think I am positive about Taiwan's market this year. If you believe that this market is going to boom, then it is a good time to buy 9816. I think investors are happy with this kind of product. Indeed, I see the needs, and the needs are catered to. We need to identify the true needs and fulfill the requirements.
Thank you for coming to the conference today. Should you have any questions, please come to the PR team and investor relations to discuss your questions. Thank you.
