Sun Hung Kai Financial Limited (SHKFL), is a 70%-owned subsidiary of Everbright Securities Company Limited (SSE: 601788, HKEX: 6178, “Everbright Securities”). With its foundation dating back to 1969 when Fung King Hey, Kwok Tak Seng and Lee Shau Kee teamed up to start the Sun Hung Kai partnership, SHKFL was a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Hung Kai & Co. Limited (SEHK: 86,　“SHKCO”). SHKCO is chaired by Lee Seng Huang and controlled by the Lee & Lee Trust following the acquisition of the Fung family’s equity interest in the company by Allied Properties (H.K.) Limited via its wholly owned subsidiary in 1996. In June 2015, Everbright Securities acquired 70% of SHKFL from SHKCO, making SHKFL a subsidiary of Everbright Securities since then. SHKCO remains a 30% shareholder of SHKFL.
