*Expecting Poor 1H21 Operating Result: Sun Hung Kai &amp; Co. (86.HK) [SHK] announced that unaudited results for 4M21 approximated HKD 1.1 bn. Like the 2H20 result, 4M21 numbers appear to be driven by low quality and non-core MTM gains from its investment management business, and lower credit-related loss provisions. No discussion was had on both the type of non-cash gains nor if credit risk/quality has actually improved; and      *FOF Focus Not An Historical Winner: SHK does, however, remain focused on investment management, with its newly established funds management platform, called Sun Hung Kai Capital Partners. According to management, SHK has a strong pipeline of potential partnerships and fund launches planned for 2H21.
