China Development Financial Holding Corporation (CDF) reported today its profit for the month of October. Self-assessed after-tax profit was NT$1.19 billion, while after tax profit for the first 10 months was NT$31.88 billion. EPS was NT$2.13.

CDF said that its subsidiaries maintained a stable performance even though capital markets showed turbulence and consolidation trends in October due to concerns about inflation and lower foreign investor volume. KGI Bank's profits in October were mainly generated from interest and fee income, partially offset by losses from investment exposure adjustments used to limit the impact from interest rate fluctuations; its total after-tax profit was NT$0.10 billion. The first 10 month after-tax profit was NT$3.74 billion. Stocks in Taiwan were also undermined in October by lower foreign investor volume. Nonetheless, KGI Securities had a profit of NT$0.58 billion after tax in October. Its 10-month after-tax profit was NT$10.75 billion. CDIB Capital Group's after-tax profit for the month of October was NT$0.18 billion mainly from increases in the valuation of its investment positions. Its first 10 month after-tax profit was NT$9.18 billion. China Life reported an October after-tax profit at NT$1.27 billion and accumulated after-tax profit from January to October at NT$27.20 billion.

CDF spokesperson Richard Chang said that in addition to implementing risk controls to reduce the potential impact of changes in the external operating environment, CDF adopted share conversion at the 10/1 extraordinary shareholders meeting to include China Life as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDF. FSC approval is expected to be obtained in December, and share conversion is expected to be completed by the end of this year. With the acquisition of China Life, CDF will further accelerate the development of its banking, securities, private equity, asset management, and insurance businesses as well as enhance the group's competitiveness, create synergies, demonstrate its entrepreneurial spirit and its creative capabilities to realize its vision of becoming a leading financial company in Asia.
