Summit Ascent has also subscribed last year to convertible bonds in Suntrust Home Developers Inc, a Philippine entity investing in a casino hotel in Manila, which is 51% controlled by Holdings.


Summit Ascent said its inclusion in the MSCI Hong Kong Micro Cap Index “demonstrated that the group has fulfilled a rigid matrix of evaluation,” including its market capitalization size and liquidity levels.


The announcement quoted Summit Ascent’s executive director, Andrew Lo, as saying that the move enhanced the company reputation among investors. The inclusion in the index showed that the company was “growing in the right direction”.

Lo added: “Summit Ascent is undoubtedly a growth company that is worth the wait, as it will be equipped with Suncity’s most valuable resources to fire up its developments.”
