"As total net asset inflow recorded robust sequential growth, we surpassed our full-year 2023 net asset inflow only 6 months into the year. Total client assets in Singapore achieved double-digit sequential growth for the eighth consecutive quarter,"  Leaf Hua Li, Futu’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said in a filing.

"In Malaysia, both total client assets and average client assets logged rapid sequential increase. Our clients’ higher risk appetite in the quarter led to more leveraged positions. As a result, margin financing and securities lending balance increased by 16.6% sequentially to an all-time high of HK$43.8b.” Leaf added.
