The 2026 Annual Special Rankings of the FOF Research Center (www.china-fof.com), a leading authority in China's domestic equity investment industry, were officially released on July 27. E-Town Capital stood out from nearly 1,000 participating institutions with outstanding performance in investment returns, project exits, and compliance & risk control, and clinched three prestigious honors: "2026 Top 20 Best Exits Among Prefecture-Level City, District and County-Level Government-Guided Funds" (2nd place), "2026 Top 50 Best Risk Control Among Prefecture-Level City, District and County Government-Guided Funds" (3rd place), and "2026 Top 30 Best Returns Among State-Owned Direct Investment Institutions" (8th place). E-Town Capital ranked among the top in all these categories. These accolades reflect the industry's strong recognition of E-Town Capital's comprehensive capabilities and its value in empowering State-owned capital, underscoring the company's benchmark position across multiple core business dimensions.

As the State-owned capital investment and management company of the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA), E-Town Capital has always aligned itself with China's national strategies, steadfastly serving as a provider for long-term, patient, and strategic capital. Driving industrial development through precision allocation, the company focuses on strategic emerging industries and future-oriented sectors such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, new energy and new materials, intelligent manufacturing, and biotechnology. Through a dual-driven approach of "equity investment + funds", it supports key industries, critical technologies, and vital links in the industrial chain, contributing to high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. Building a solid foundation for development through compliance and risk control, E-Town Capital has established a systematic risk management framework covering the entire lifecycle of capital operations — from fundraising, investment, and management to exits — ensuring the company's steady growth in a complex and volatile market. Activating capital efficiency through efficient exits, the company has focused on refined post-investment management, precisely seizing capital market windows to accelerate project exits through IPOs, M&A, market-based share reductions, and other diversified channels, revitalizing existing assets and achieving a win-win outcome of industrial cultivation and value preservation and appreciation.

The year 2026 marks the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), and E-Town Capital has seized development opportunities to achieve significant improvements in operational quality and efficiency in the first half of the year. Key indicators including investment income, capital returns, and project contributions have seen multiple-fold growth, sustaining a positive development trajectory. In the first half of the year, investment income reached RMB 5.36 billion, up 150 percent year-on-year; total profit amounted to RMB 4.99 billion, an increase of over 200 percent year-on-year; capital contributions to projects reached RMB 6.342 billion, up 150 percent year-on-year; and capital returns hit RMB 7.487 billion, doubling year-on-year to a record high for the same period in history. These results fully demonstrate the SOE's commitment to regional development and its robust momentum for high-quality growth. As of the end of June 2026, E-Town Capital's total assets exceeded RMB 150 billion, with cumulative investments surpassing RMB 170 billion. The company currently manages over 300 projects and 110 funds, with a total fund size exceeding RMB 1.1 trillion, positioning its comprehensive strength firmly in the top tier among regional State-owned capital institutions.

Committed to its mission through dedication and embarking on a new journey with honors, E-Town Capital will continue to deepen market-oriented reforms, uphold its original aspiration of serving the real economy and promoting industrial development and technological innovation in Beijing, further strengthen its integrated industrial empowerment system, increase investment in cutting-edge industrial sectors, expand and enhance its multi-tiered patient capital matrix, and comprehensively improve its core competitiveness and industrial service capabilities. The company will contribute even greater strength to the high-quality development of the region, the construction of Beijing as an international science and technology innovation center, and the implementation of the national innovation-driven development strategy.
