The net profit on China's $1.57 trillion in national investments assets totaled $140.64 billion.

Sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corp (CIC) on Tuesday said its 2024 net profit rose 30.4% from a year earlier as strong returns from overseas investments helped it exceed its performance targets.

Its annualised cumulative net investment return on overseas investments for the decade ending in 2024 was 6.92%, beating the fund's target, it said.

Beijing-based CIC was founded in 2007 to help China earn a higher return on its foreign exchange reserves.

Through its Central Huijin Investment subsidiary, CIC was a shareholder in 19 Chinese state-owned financial institutions at the end of 2024, including China Development Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China . 

State-owned financial capital under the management of Central Huijin reached 6.87 trillion yuan ($971.5 billion) at the end of 2024, up 6.4% from the beginning of the year, it said.

CIC said its total assets reached $1.57 trillion at the end of 2024, with net assets of $1.37 trillion.
