Chen Xinwen/Taipei reported on June 20, 2024, at 4:10 pm, Kafu Securities held a shareholder meeting and approved the distribution of earnings of NT$1.5 per share, including NT$1 in cash dividend and NT$0.5 in stock dividend, marking the second consecutive year of dividend distribution. Following the meeting, a board of directors was immediately convened, and Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation's legal representative Lin Binghui was reelected as the chairman. Lin stressed Kafu's commitment to sustainable development by establishing a Sustainability Development Committee in March, incorporating ESG into operational evaluation metrics and obtaining a new version of cybersecurity certification. The company's net profit after tax in 2022 was NT$130 million, with earnings per share (EPS) of NT$2.17, showing a 22% growth from the previous year. The platform has gained over 20,000 new customers so far in 2024, with a total of over 275,000 customers and fund deposits nearing NT$140 billion. Kafu's mobile app has amassed over 140,000 downloads, ranking among the top 100 in the finance category on both Apple Store and Google Play. Chairman Lin highlighted Kafu's continuous growth in customer base and fund deposits due to initiatives such as a fee-free lifetime policy for all fund purchases, regular investment plans, and a dedicated fund management app. The company's retirement planning platform, despite facing challenges from COVID-19, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and global central bank interest rate hikes, has persevered and is now entering a positive phase, with new projects set to be announced in early July.
