In the business of maximising returns, a Hong Kong-based international investment management firm believes funding worthy causes pays top dividends for the community.
Segantii Capital Management has donated HK$14 million (US$1.8 million) to Operation Santa Claus (OSC) over the past 14 years, supporting more than 140 charitable projects through the campaign.
OSC, the annual fundraising initiative held by the South China Morning Post and public broadcaster RTHK, collects donations from contributors for distribution to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to help them make a positive impact on the community.
The campaign is currently funding 11 NGOs, having raised more than HK$383 million for 353 projects in Hong Kong since its launch in 1988.
Founded in Hong Kong in 2007 and now with branches in London and Dubai, Segantii has collaborated with OSC since 2011.
“OSC is a unique opportunity for those wishing to support local charities in Hong Kong,” Kurt Ersoy, the company’s CEO, said.
