Hotung can be defined as an investment holding company. However, it is focused on the venture capital segment. In this aspect, it is more difficult to appreciate and understand than traditional closed-end fund like UIS.
As there is limited analyst coverage on the company and Hotung is sitting on net cash (30% of book value is backed by cash and regularly conducting open market buybacks), there is little needs for Hotung to stay listed and try to engage in costly (? - really doubt that the company is trying anything at all) investor relationship effort.
Given all the typical characteristic of a delisting candidate - we just have to wait for the day that shareholders are shown the exit door.

Shareholders who are interested to find out more about Hotung and meeting the company management are advised to take a plane trip to Taiwan and check themselves in at the Taipei Landis Hotel. Its the Lady CEO's favourite place.
But do not expect much info, the taiwanese usually prefer to speak 1 on 1 than to address queries in front of a crowd.
