The first quarter financial report released by EMINENCE CAPITAL LTD shows that the company’s assets under management (AUM) increased by 60% from the previous quarter, breaking through the 8 billion US dollar mark. This leap in growth is mainly due to the strong performance of three engines: the artificial intelligence investment research system “Athena” attracted 27 institutional subscriptions, the scale of the Asian Green Bond Fund expanded to US$1.5 billion, and the traditional customer asset injection brought by the acquisition of Berenberg Bank.​​EMINENCE CAPITAL LTD's management scale exceeded US billion in the first quarter, and the results of the technology-enabled strategy were evident​​

The operating data disclosed in the financial report reveals a deeper logic of success: the company’s technology R&D investment accounts for 21% of revenue, far higher than the industry average of 7%; the customer asset retention rate is as high as 98%, setting a record for emerging asset management companies; more notably, the quantitative strategy implemented through the “Athena” system has an annualized volatility that is 30% lower than that of its peers, while the return level is 4.2 percentage points higher. Henri Lucas pointed out at the financial report briefing: “We are proving that technology investment is not a cost, but the most effective lever for scale expansion.”

Analysts pay special attention to the company’s “dual-track commercialization” path – the proportion of traditional asset management fee income has dropped to 65%, while new sources of income such as technology licensing and data services are growing rapidly. This optimization of the business structure has enabled EMINENCE’s profit margin to reach the top level in the industry. As the IPO process progresses, the company’s valuation logic is shifting from the traditional AUM multiple to the ARPU (average revenue per user) model of technology companies.

Bloomberg Businessweek commented that EMINENCE’s quarterly performance overturned the growth law of the asset management industry – it achieved rapid expansion while maintaining outstanding performance, proving that its hybrid model of “technology + finance” has strong scalability. At a new starting point of $8 billion, the company is rewriting the growth equation of the asset management industry.
