Ma 鈥榟opes鈥 Alibaba鈥檚 Ant affiliate list in HK

ALIBABA Group Holding Ltd’s Executive Chairman Jack Ma “very much hopes” that the e-commerce firm’s affiliate Ant Financial Services Group will list in Hong Kong, a spokeswoman for the online finance company quoted him as saying.

Ma, who is Ant’s controlling shareholder, made the comments at an event in Macau on Monday.

A listing for Ant has been long expected. But the spokeswoman said the company does not have a timeline or venue set.

The company, which includes online payment service Alipay — its crown jewel — is valued at nearly US$60 billion, a person familiar with its latest fundraising round said in April.

Ant and Alibaba executives have given mixed signals on a potential venue — a listing on a Chinese mainland exchange, going public in Hong Kong, or pursuing a dual-listing domestically and offshore.
