Celebrating 11 Years in Hong Kong: Investing and Collaborating to Encourage Hong Kong Citizens to Achieve Outstanding Results
Adhering to the philosophy of "Taking from Society, Giving Back to Society," Futu has been actively participating in the Trailwalker event since 2014. This year marks Futu's return to the Trailwalker competition after the pandemic hiatus. Additionally, as it coincided with Futu's 11th anniversary in Hong Kong, Futu spared no effort in openly recruiting and sponsoring all participating teams' expenses, contributing a significant amount to Oxfam to support their poverty alleviation and emergency relief projects in Africa and Asia (including Hong Kong and Mainland China). Ultimately, Futu successfully invited 6 teams of Futu employees and 7 teams of friends, colleagues and associates to represent a total of 13 teams in the competition. All participating teams are well-trained in their daily routines, achieving excellent results in the competition. Over half of the Futu representative teams secured positions in the top 20 of the financial sector, with one team even claiming the first position in the financial category, earning an overall ranking of 17th place.

Mr. Leaf Li , founder of Futu said, "Since 2014, I have been participating in the Trailwalker event. It started with a group of enthusiastic employees competing together, and now we are delighted to see the Futu Trailwalker team expanding to include 13 teams composed of Futu employees and Hong Kong citizens. Participants not only find like-minded partners but also convey the unwavering spirit of the company to society. The path of corporate growth is akin to a trail walk, requiring continuous perseverance, effort, and long-term training, which aligns perfectly with the spirit of Trailwalker. We aim to spread this spirit, encouraging Hong Kong people to strengthen their willpower and infuse new vitality into Hong Kong's charitable causes. In the future, Futu will continue to actively support various charitable activities, contributing to the progress and development of society together."
