Message to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
2015 was a challenging year marked by heightened volatility in
global financial markets. The contraction in exports weighted
on Taiwan’s domestic sector, with the economy decelerating
to a growth rate below 1%. Despite the economic headwinds,
Fubon Financial Holdings reported net income of NT$63.6 billion
and earnings per share (EPS) of NT$6.21 in another year of
record performance, owing to its well-balanced mix of profitable
businesses. Both figures were the highest in the domestic financial
sector for the seventh consecutive year.
In addition to solidifying its home market success, Fubon Financial
Holdings spent the past year building out its network in Greater
China. Key milestones included an approval for Fubon Life to
establish a subsidiary in Hong Kong, and green light given to
Fubon Securities to acquire up to 40% of China-based Huishang
Futures and raise a Chinese private equity fund. In June, the
Monetary Authority of Singapore agreed in principle to Taipei
Fubon Bank’s plan to set up a branch in Singapore with the start
of operations scheduled for March 2016. The holding company
finished the year on a high note after Fubon Life concluded
an investment in South Korea-based Hyundai Life Insurance
in December, furthering its ambition to become a strong pan-
regional champion.
Looking ahead to 2016, Fubon Financial Holdings will continue
to integrate resources and drive business synergies across
its subsidiaries. FinTech development will remain a priority to
accelerate digital innovation. In order to maintain sound asset
quality, the company will closely monitor economic developments
and changing trends in the industries that it serves for early
detection of risks while implementing effective risk management
and controls.
In support of the Taiwan government’s push for strong pan-Asia
players, Fubon Financial Holdings has been strengthening its
regional presence. The company now operates one of the most
comprehensive financial service platforms across Taiwan, Hong
Kong and China through which it offers banking, insurance, asset
management and other services. In 2016, it will continue to expand
into other markets beyond Greater China as it advances its goal to
become a first-class financial institution in Asia.
Market-Leading Profit for Seventh Straight Year
Looking back at 2015, economic expansion continued in the U.S.,
the eurozone and Japan but at a disappointing rate. Against a
backdrop of stagnant world trade, decelerating growth in China
and depressed oil prices, Taiwan’s exports started declining
every single month since February to end the year down 10.6%.
Weakness in the export sector rippled through the domestic
economy, as evidenced by two consecutive quarters of negative
growth in capital investment, waning consumer confidence
and reluctance to spend. That, in turn, resulted in a modest
contribution of private consumption to gross domestic product at
less than 1% in the second half of the year. Taiwan recorded its
weakest economic growth in six years in 2015 at 0.75%, sharply
down from 3.92% in the prior year.
Despite the economic headwinds, the results of Fubon Financial
Holdings’ subsidiaries were reassuringly strong, especially for
Fubon Life and Taipei Fubon Bank, the group’s two major profit
drivers. The holding company again reported a record profit of
NT$63.6 billion, or 5.6% higher than in 2014, and EPS of NT$6.21.
Both figures were the highest in the domestic financial sector
for the seventh consecutive year. Return on assets and return
on equity arrived at 1.1% and 16.4%, respectively, with the latter
setting a record.
As of the end of 2015, Fubon Financial Holdings had close to NT$6
trillion in assets, also a record high. Total reported assets were
NT$5.9875 trillion, 10.1% higher than a year ago, making Fubon
Financial Holdings Taiwan’s second-largest f inancial holding
company by assets.
Taipei Fubon Bank & Fubon Life: Dual Engines of Profitability
Solid growth seen across key subsidiaries demonstrated Fubon
Financial Holdings’ fundamental strength. Fubon Life and Taipei
Fubon Bank, in particular, represented 92.5% of the parent
company’s net profit.
Fubon Life, the holding company’s insurance arm known for its
well-positioned product lines and large multi-channel network,
reported another year of record profit. It remained Taiwan’s most
profitable life insurer with net income of NT$41.02 billion, up 16%
year-on-year.
Fubon Life generated first-year premiums of NT$205.3 billion, up
7.5% year-on-year, for a 17.3% market share. Total premiums were
NT$474.4 billion, 11.6% higher than in 2014, for a 16.2% market
share. Both measures of premium income claimed second place
in the industry. With sustained growth of investable assets, Fubon
Life’s total assets crossed the NT$3 trillion mark at 2015 year-end.
Taipei Fubon Bank also posted a solid set of results. Its institutional
franchise saw significant expansion in the SME client base, the

scale of overseas branches and volumes of syndicated lending.
In the area of retail banking, the bank’s bancassurance business
grew at a steady pace, and its mortgage business ranked among
the largest in private-sector banks despite a property market
slump. At the same time, it topped peers in the average monthly
amount of credit card transactions per effective card. A balanced
approach to risk and return helped Taipei Fubon Bank deliver
sustained growth, with net profit reaching NT$17.78 billion.
Fubon Insurance: 34 Years of Leadership
Fubon Insurance maintained its leadership position in 2015 for
the 34th consecutive year. Its direct written premiums grew 4.3%
to NT$30.44 billion for a market share of 22.5%, reflecting its
success in leveraging the marketing resources and distribution
capabilities of its parent company. The insurer’s underwriting profit
increased to NT$1.68 billion in spite of severe catastrophic events.
Net income was NT$3.21 billion, or NT$10.1 per share.
Fubon Property & Casualty Insurance, a mainland Chinese
subsidiary that Fubon Insurance founded in October 2010,
operates 42 offices across China. Written premiums for 2015
were RMB870 million, up 25.9% over the prior year. In Xiamen,
the company was ranked the sixth largest player. Country-wide, it
was the fastest growing foreign-owned P&C insurer, finishing 2015
in sixth position out of 22. Fubon Property & Casualty Insurance
achieved a high satisfaction score in a consumer protection survey
by the China Consumer Protection Foundation and performed
well in several auto insurance customer advocacy rankings—a
testament to its high-quality service. Going forward, expansion in
cities of Xiamen, Chongqing and Dalian and provinces of Fujian,
Sichuan and Liaoning will be a key priority for the company.
Fubon Securities saw broad-based growth across its businesses.
The firm was ranked among the top three retail brokers with a 5.19%
market share. In addition, it claimed the second spot whether
measured by value of IPOs, value of SPOs or offerings of emerging
stocks, establishing the firm as a leader in equity underwriting.
Outside its home market, Fubon Securities made signif icant
breakthroughs in 2015, most notably approvals from regulators
to acquire up to 40% of China-based Huishang Futures and
raise a Chinese private equity fund. It plans to form a mainland
securities joint venture as soon as regulations allow. These
new growth initiatives, coupled with a full-service platform of
stock and futures trading, advisory and capital market services,
position Fubon Securities competitively to be a premier securities
firm in Greater China.
Fubon Bank (China): Largest Chinese Branch Network among
Taiwanese Peers
Formerly known as First Sino Bank before its name change in
April 2014, Fubon Bank (China) is a critical element of Fubon
Financial Holdings’ growth strategy as it complements the holding
company’s existing banking network in Greater China. Since the
completion of a restructuring of its share capital, the bank has
made meaningful progress in operations, corporate governance
and risk management along with a larger branch footprint.
Fubon Bank (China) operates 22 offices situated in the Yangtze
River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and along the Bohai Rim,
including a new branch planned in Beijing. As the only Taiwanese-
owned bank that operates in each of China’s four free-trade zones,
it offers the most complete coverage of key Chinese markets
among its Taiwanese peers.
Fubon Bank (Hong Kong) reported net income of HK$522 million
for the year, representing an increase of 8%. In November, Fubon
Bank (Hong Kong) opened its first iBranch in the Wanchai District.
Subsequently, a second iBranch, also the 23rd branch of the
bank, was launched in the Western District. The iBranches feature
video teller machines i-Tellers and other digital banking facilities
designed to enhance service levels and deliver a unique customer
experience. Fubon Bank (Hong Kong) also launched new mobile
banking, e-statement and e-cheque services to respond to
increasing demand for online self-service.
Ambitions for Regional Leadership
In December 2015, Fubon Life became Hyundai Life’s second-
largest shareholder after it acquired a 48% stake, next only to
Hyundai Motor Group, which held 50.2%. Fubon Life also secured
five board seats in the South Korean life insurer. This transaction
marks not only the beginning of a long-term partnership between
Fubon Life and Hyundai Life, but also a milestone in Fubon
Financial Holdings’ ambition to become a regional champion.
Hyundai Motor Group is South Korea’s largest and the world’s fifth
largest auto company. It has extensive holdings in the financial
sector from loans, credit cards to life insurance. With more than
2,300 employees working around 51 offices in South Korea,
Hyundai Life, formerly known as Green Cross Life before it was
acquired by Hyundai Motor Group in 2012, is seen as a solid
starting point for Fubon Life’s expansion into Northeast Asia.
The investment in Hyundai Life marks the latest of Fubon Life’s
efforts to increase its presence in Asia, following a Vietnamese
subsidiary established in 2011 and the receipt of approval in

Outlook Effective DateLong-term Short-term

Moody’s Baa1 Stable 2016 / 01/ 06
Domestic Taiwan Ratings Corp. twAA twA-1+ Stable 2015 / 11 / 20
The ratings Fubon Financial Holdings received in 2015 are as follows:
March 2015 to form a subsidiary in Hong Kong. Under the deal,
Fubon Life will collaborate with Hyundai Life to enhance returns
on investment, develop insurance products specifically to address
the issue of increased life expectancy, and introduce multi-channel
distribution capabilities in order to provide a superior experience
for South Korean customers. On the group level, Fubon Financial
Holdings plans to expand its partnership with Hyundai to other
business segments beyond life insurance.
On top of Fubon Life’s entry into South Korea, Taipei Fubon
Bank is planning a new branch in Singapore, which will start
operations in March 2016. This new location gives Fubon Financial
Holdings a beachhead from which to move into ASEAN markets,
where it will offer products and services that facilitate trade and
investment and help clients participate in Southeast Asia’s growth
opportunities. A supporter of the Taiwan government’s bid to grow
select financial holding companies into regional champions, Fubon
Financial Holdings will continually explore strategic alliances and
collaboration throughout Asia.
Balance Sheet Strength Enabled by Proactive Risk Management
In the process of growing its business, Fubon Financial Holdings
places great emphasis on risk management in order to maintain a
strong capital position and above-peer asset quality. The holding
company’s capital adequacy ratio was 124.83% in 2015, far above
the regulatory requirement of 100%.
In 2015, the Financial Supervisory Commission imposed on local
banks a minimum 1.5% loan-loss provision on credit extended
to China in order to tighten oversight of China-related lending
exposure. Taipei Fubon Bank increased its loan-loss provisioning
during the year and met this regulatory requirement.
Taipei Fubon Bank’s BIS ratio was 13.44% as of the end of 2015,
an indication of the bank’s strong capital position. Even with
steady loan growth, the bank’s non-performing loan ratio was
0.15%, well below the industry average of 0.23%. Its coverage ratio
was 816.4% as of the end of 2015, far higher than the industry
average of 555.43%.
In a report released on November 20, 2015, Taiwan Ratings Corp.
affirmed Fubon Financial Holdings’ long-term rating as twAA
and its short-term rating as twA-1+. Moody’s Investors Service,
in its latest ratings note dated January 6, 2016, maintained its
outlook for the company at Stable. These affirmations reflect the
company’s ability to generate above-average profit margin and
superior asset quality.
Exemplary Practice in Corporate Governance
Fubon Financial Holdings aspires to the highest standards of
corporate governance. It is not only Taiwan’s first listed company
to have established an independent director system, but also
the first domestic financial company to have at least one-third
of its board composed of independent directors. In 2015, Fubon
Financial Holdings was ranked in the top 5% of companies in
the Taiwan Stock Exchange’s f irst-ever ranking of corporate
governance, demonstrating the progress the company delivered
on corporate governance.
In 2015, Corporate Governance Asia awarded Fubon Financial
Holdings with a Recognition Award for corporate governance
for the seventh consecutive year, and honored Fubon Financial
Holdings Chairman Daniel M. Tsai with an Asian Corporate
Director Recognition Award for the sixth year running for his
contributions to corporate governance, social responsibility and
environmental protection.
Transparency is an impor tant cornerstone of corporate
governance. Fubon Financial Holdings was awarded Best Investor
Relations in Taiwan by Corporate Governance Asia for the fifth
straight year, in recognition of the company’s commitment to
transparency in corporate reporting.
For years, Fubon Financial Holdings has leveraged its core
competencies to del iver on i ts commitments to corporate
social responsibility (CSR). The company has been consistently
included in CommonWealth magazine’s top 10 listing of large
companies for distinction in corporate citizenship. In 2015,
it won Ten Most Sustainable Company Award, Creativity in
Communication Award, and Top 50 Corporate Sustainability
Report Gold Award in the Financial category in the Taiwan
Corporate Sustainability Awards.
Apart from its strong financial performance, Fubon Financial
Holdings’ efforts to contribute positive energy to society and act

Fubon ESG Visioning Project: A Pathway to Sustainability
In late 2015, Fubon Financial Holdings launched the Fubon ESG
Visioning Project, a new initiative aimed at managing business risks
and opportunities of climate change and other environmental and
social issues. As part of the initiative, a task force was created under
the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee (formerly
named the Corporate Governance Committee). Led by the president
of Fubon Financial Holdings with oversight from two independent
directors, the ESG Task Force sets out strategic objectives, with
action items developed for each objective, for the short-, mid-, and
long-term horizon. There are six smaller work teams, each focused
on a specific topic area, including the Corporate Governance Team,
the Employee Care Team, the Responsible Finance Team, the
Customer Engagement Team, the Social Commitment Team and
the Environmental Sustainability Team.
Wan-Tsai Tsai, the late founder of the Fubon Group, was a
champion of the spirit expressed in the Chinese idiom of “ploughing
back to the community whatever is due to the community.” The
group’s four main foundations serve as important platforms
through which Fubon Financial Holdings carries out its CSR
initiatives. In addition, the Fubon Volunteer Association and
policies such as paid volunteering leave have been put in place
to encourage employees to contribute their time and skills toward
improving the community.
The Fubon Charity Foundation raised over NT$113 million in
2015 for the Making Friends with Love program, helping 15,709
students continue their studies. The Fubon Cultural & Educational
Foundation continued to promote f inancial education, and
more than 4,000 students in 35 primary schools learned about
managing money responsibly through the Future Tycoon Outreach
Program in the same year.
The Fubon Art Foundation’s Very Fun Park, an annual spectacle of
large-scale installations, marked its tenth anniversary by teaming
up with Google to place the artworks online in what was Asia’s first
virtual “wall-less museum.” From 2000 through 2015, Fubon Forum
attracted more than 180,000 audiences to 1,763 lectures and classes
on the aesthetics in the everyday life. The Taipei Fubon Bank Charity
Foundation, a supporter of the elderly, the physically challenged
and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, made
advocacy of dementia its main initiative for 2015, with interactive
e-learning tools developed to increase Fubon employees’ knowledge
about recognizing and diagnosing dementia.
Local Root, Regional Reach
In the year ahead, the world economy is expected to continue
its moderate pace of growth, but downside risks are rising
sharply. Risks factors from further slowdown in China’s economy,
depressed oil prices to heightened volatility in financial markets
are likely to derail growth in Taiwan’s main export destinations.
As Taiwan’s export sector remains under pressure, corporations’
reluctance to invest, along with lower wage growth and diminishing

Industry-leading Performance
In 2015, Fubon Life remained Taiwan’s most profitable life insurer for
a seventh straight year. It posted net profit of NT$41.018 billion, or
NT$7.16 per share, up 16%. First-year premiums reached NT$205.28
billion and total premiums increased 11.6% to NT$474 billion. The
insurer received several prestigious awards, including the National
Brand Yushan Award, which recognized Fubon Life, the only insurer
on the shortlist, for exceptional leadership. World Finance Insurance
named Fubon Life Company of the Year in Taiwan for a fourth straight
year. Thanks to its established reputation, Fubon Life was selected by
finance and insurance graduates for the fifth consecutive year as the
best company to work for. Additionally, it was honored with two Gold
awards at the 6th annual Insurance Excellence Awards and Best Agent
Force at the 4th Best Quality Awards of Insurance.
A Best-in-class Omnichannel Platform
Fubon Life continues to leverage the distribution capabilities of its
parent group to realize the full value of its sales force. In 2015, the
company launched its first offshore insurance unit to better serve
foreigners doing business or travelling in Taiwan. In its second year,
the Beyond the Border recruitment program resulted in the addition
of more than 40 service locations and increased the number of sales
representatives by more than 2,000, the largest sales expansion in
the industry. This program provides a channel for college graduates
to return to their hometown to pursue career with Fubon Life while
supporting growth of local communities.
By drawing upon the latest technology, Fubon Life has delivered the
promise of Insurance 3.0, allowing customers to apply for insurance
coverage or change their policies through a mobile app or at the
website. Fubon Life is now the largest life insurer that has deployed
Office 365, a Microsoft platform that enables a full range of cloud
Fubon Life
consultancy services. The company’s integration of digital and
physical channels has led to increased work efficiency, improved
responsiveness and higher customer satisfaction.
Commitment to Customer Service and Corporate Citizenship
Fubon Life’s products are aligned with changing demographic trends,
such as an increasing number of single people, lower birth rates and
rising life expectancy. Of particular note, its comprehensive range
of annuity plans, disability income insurance and health insurance
helps clients prepare for retirement and potential senior care costs.
Fubon Life also provides specialized plans for senior citizen, including
insurance policies that cover specific critical illnesses, accidental
injuries and chronic medical conditions, and long-term care insurance
that features monthly benefit to pay for caregivers. Looking into the
future, the company will continue to offer new products to fulfill its
role of providing financial security for individuals and their families.
During 2015, Fubon Life continued to support clients to minimize the
distress they face in time of crisis. Following a deadly explosion at
a local water park, the company promptly paid injury and hospital
confinement benefit to insured victims who suffered severe burns.
Fubon Life also extended micro-insurance programs to those who
cannot afford traditional insurance. A partnership with Ping An Life
Insurance of China expanded access to medical insurance coverage
and emergency assistance for clients travelling in China.
Fubon Life has a strong commitment to advancing social welfare.
Through activities from lectures on health and wellness, race
walking to charity basketball games, the company increases public

Taipei Fubon Bank
Riding Out Market Volatility
The year 2015 was marked by an uneven global economic recovery,
slowing growth in China and heightened volatility in the yuan.
Domestically, exports posted their worst performance since the
2008-09 crisis, and financial institutions faced mounting challenges.
Despite the headwinds, Taipei Fubon Bank’s institutional franchise
saw significant expansion in its SME client base, assets held by
overseas branches and market share in syndicated lending. The
bank’s retail banking business grew stronger, notably in wealth
management, mortgage and insurance, even though housing
activity weakened and risk-wary customers put off investment. A
balanced approach to risk and return enabled the bank to turn in
robust results with net profit of NT$17.78 billion.
Transforming Business for the Digital Future
Taipei Fubon Bank’s business strategies are guided by its vision
to establish a meaningful presence in Asia, and specifically, the
most comprehensive client relationship coverage across five
major financial hubs in Greater China. The bank spent the past
year expanding its presence in China via subsidiary Fubon Bank
(China) and preparing for entry into Singapore. In Taiwan, Taipei
Fubon Bank continued the rationalization of its branch network,
maintaining a market-leading distribution reach in metropolitan
Taipei while expanding selectively in central and southern Taiwan.
In the process of its branch realignment, the bank turned select
branches into smart banking locations that showcase its digital
capabilities and strengthen brand recognition.
Keen to keep up with the digital evolution and to support the
Taiwan government’s Bank 3.0 initiative, in 2015, Taipei Fubon
Bank offered 12 more banking services to be processed online.
The bank also continued building next-generation online and
mobile applications that appeal to today’s tech-savvy consumers
and meet their needs and lifestyles. Its goal is to reinvent itself as
an agile and responsive bank, one that harnesses technology to
provide customers with personalized services and enable them to
shift seamlessly between digital and branch channels.
As evidence of the bank’s success, Global Finance named Taipei
Fubon Bank Best Bank in Taiwan in its annual listing of the best
banks worldwide. Awards from Asiamoney, The Asset, IFR Asia
and FCI acknowledged the bank’s product strength and client
focus in institutional banking. The bank also received top rankings
in surveys conducted by leading f inancial media and trade
publications—among which were The Asian Banker, Euromoney,
The Banker and PWM—in the categories of private banking, wealth
management and client service.
Reaching Sustainability by Balancing Growth and Risk
Looking into 2016, risk control will be a primary goal as well
as challenge for Taipei Fubon Bank amid an uncertain global
outlook, China’s slowing growth, slumping oil prices and volatile
markets. The bank is stepping up efforts to improve management,
streamline processes, and upgrade its infrastructure so as to
drive greater efficiency, productivity and speed to market. In the
institutional banking segment, its priorities are to deepen existing
client relationships, enhance its corporate banking portfolios,
and increase exposure to foreign markets for improved return on
asset. As for retail banking, the bank aims to be the first choice
among consumers with a client-centric approach guiding all its
activities, including network rationalization. The bank will rigorously
maintain its focus on becoming a regional champion by leveraging
its extensive distribution capabilities in Greater China while driving
closer collaboration between business units.

Fubon Bank (Hong Kong)
Prudent Management to Pursue Sustainable Growth
Despite the unfavourable operating environment in the second half
of 2015, Fubon Bank (Hong Kong) reported a net profit of HK$522
million for the year ended 31 December 2015. Excluding a provision
of HK$100 million made against a 2002 lawsuit, the Bank’s net profit
would be HK$622 million, representing a year-on-year increase of
29%, return on average equity increased from 5.18% to 5.86% when
compared with 2014, and return on average assets increased from
0.62% to 0.71%.
Fubon Bank (Hong Kong)’s core operating profit before provisions
for non-performing accounts and the one-off lawsuit posted an
exceptionally strong performance with year-on-year increase of
41%. Net interest income increased by 27% to HK$1,073 million,
mostly driven by the widening of net interest margin and further
aided by the growth in average interest-earning assets. Net interest
margin widened by 20 basis points to 1.40%. This was attributable
to a decrease in the Bank’s cost of funds as well as encouraging
improvement in the loan portfolio yield.
Insurance services income recorded an encouraging growth of
19%, underpinned by the Bank’s enriched product offerings and the
success of the new premium financing product. Securities brokerage
and investment services income also benefited from a more active
stock market and posted a 23% increase. Credit card business
continued its steady growth. After accounting for a revaluation loss on
the derivative financial instruments, non-interest income was reduced
to HK$431 million. The percentage of non-interest income to total
operating income was 28.6% in 2015.
Operating expenses increased by 14% to HK$1,027 million, including
a provision made for the above-mentioned lawsuit against the Bank.
Excluding this item, operating expenses increased only by 3%. Xiamen
Bank Co., Ltd posted solid performance and delivered satisfactory
results in 2015. The Bank’s share of profits from Xiamen Bank Co.,
Ltd recorded a year-on-year increase of 30% to HK$206 million. The
Bank’s capital and liquidity position remained strong. The total capital
ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 16.62% and 11.81% respectively
as at 31 December 2015. The average liquidity maintenance ratio also
stood at a comfortable level of 45.82% in 2015.
The Fubon Experience
During the year, further steps were taken to enhance the Bank’s retail
banking service channels with the launch of a new retail banking
strategy. The Bank’s first iBranch was launched in November 2015 by
refurbishing the Queen’s Road East Branch in Wanchai. Subsequently,
a second iBranch, also the 23rd branch of the Bank, was opened in
Western District in December 2015. Conveniently located in the city with
contemporary branch design and configuration, the iBranches feature
a wide range of digital banking facilities, including the Bank’s first full
service i-Teller (interactive teller machine), and also promote a paperless
concept. Advancement in the Bank’s e-banking platform, including the
launch of mobile banking, e-statement and e-cheque services, was
also made during the year to offer customers a comprehensive range of
digital banking services and enhanced customer experience.
Looking ahead, Fubon Bank (Hong Kong) will continue to attract
high quality customers in selected market segments with enhanced
services and delivery channels. The corporate banking customer
base will continue its expansion by enhancing the range of products
and services of the Bank, and through the strengthening of marketing
resources in line with the Bank’s corporate business strategy. The
Bank will continue to play an anchor role in the Fubon Group’s
Greater China development strategy.

Fubon Bank (China)
In 2015, banks in China faced challenges ranging from an economic
slowdown, wild swings in the stock markets to heightened volatility
in rates due to a more liberalized financial regime. Guided by the
Fubon Group’s strategic goals, Fubon Bank (China) took significant
steps to invest in technology, strengthen risk management and
expand its reach and scale. The bank’s financial performance in
the past year demonstrated its widening lead over foreign-owned
peers, with total assets amounting to 73.64 billion yuan. Non-
performing loan ratio stayed low at 1.04%, loan-loss provision
coverage ratio improved to 265.11%, and net profit after provision
reached 390 million yuan.
Creating Foundation for Growth
In corporate banking, Fubon Bank (China) shifted its lending
focus to public infrastructure and strategic sectors in response to
heightened macro risks and the Chinese government’s One Belt,
One Road initiative. It also renewed efforts on trade finance, which
carries lower risk than other types of financing, and expanded its
client base. As for retail banking, its new debit card—the first ever
issued by a Taiwanese bank operating in China—enjoyed wide
popularity. Meanwhile, additional marketing and product teams
were created to meet rising demand for treasury management. As
further evidence of the depth of its financial and risk management
capabilities, Fubon Bank (China) was among the first foreign-
owned banks allowed to issue certificates of deposit in China. The
bank made fintech development a key priority in 2015, with the
launch of a digital branch and new offerings of mobile banking,
super Internet banking and third-party online payment enabled
by Alipay and UnionPay greatly increasing both the security and
ease of banking.
Fubon Bank (China) continues to build its footprint in China’s
fastest-growing coastal cities. A new sub-branch to be opened in
Kunshan makes Fubon Bank (China) the only Taiwanese-owned
bank with operations spanning the country’s four free-trade zones
in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Kunshan, bringing its network
to 22 locations. In the year ahead, Fubon Bank (China) will expand
into vibrant markets on the Yangtze River with new offices planned
in Chengdu and Wuhan. In addition, the bank is set to open a
branch in Beijing in the first half of 2016, another move that keeps it
one step ahead of Taiwanese competitors.
Connecting Taiwanese Businesses to Opportunities
Fubon Bank (China) formed a charitable foundation in July 2015
in support of low-income women and victims of disasters or
other emergency. Moreover, it strengthened thought leadership
by organizing the 2015 Shanghai Financial Summit, where
scholars and industry leaders exchanged ideas and discussed
ways to deepen economic cooperation in Greater China. In order
to support Taiwanese businesses for future growth and increase
their access to capital, the bank continues to improve products,
services and delivery channels including venture loans, capital
market services, co-branded cards, digital branches, foreign
currency solutions and direct-sold mutual funds. It looks to
provide private banking services at select locations in Shanghai
and a new branch being planned in Chengdu, pending the
issuance of a retail banking license to serve Chinese nationals.
As Fubon Bank (China) competes for a greater market share in
China, its top priority remains being nimble and innovative to
deliver a superior client experience.

Navigating Market Volatility
Despite a challenging environment and severe catastrophic events
in 2015, Fubon Insurance maintained its leadership position for
the 34th consecutive year. Its written premiums amounted to
NT$30.44 billion for a market share of 22.5%, reflecting its success
in leveraging the marketing resources and distribution capabilities
of its parent group. The insurer’s prudent underwriting practices
and rigorous cost controls resulted in net profit of NT$3.21 billion,
or NT$10.1 per share, in line with investor expectations. The
earnings performance stands as a proof of Fubon Insurance’s solid
foundation on which it delivers sustained growth and safeguards
the interests of its policyholders.
Fubon Insurance’s client-first approach focuses on innovating
the customer experience to deliver speed, convenience and
value. During 2015, the insurer saw a higher share of insurance
policies applied online owing to its growing product line-up and
renewed marketing activity. It also added new features to its
mobile application to facilitate policy purchase, self-service for
policy changes and claims reporting. Meanwhile, it continued to
hold loss prevention education seminars aimed at strengthening
clients’ knowledge and awareness of catastrophic risk. Increased
risk preparedness, together with Fubon Insurance’s disaster
restoration and recovery services, can reduce the frequency
and severity of natural and manmade disasters, hence limiting
the economic, social and environmental impact for the affected
business and society.

its clients. Throughout the years, the insurer has earned a strong
market position as well as trust from both Taiwanese-owned and
Vietnamese corporations for the extensive personal and property
protection it provides to companies, individuals and workers.
At the Forefront of Opportunities
Looking ahead, Fubon Insurance will stay at the forefront of
changing market trends while upholding its core values of integrity,
sincerity, professionalism and innovation. It will also reinforce its
commitment to protecting individuals, families and businesses
against losses through a comprehensive suite of insurance
offerings and by engaging clients in risk preparedness and risk
reduction activities.

Fubon Life & Fubon Insurance
Delivering Superior Investment Returns
The U.S. Fed ended a seven-year period of close to zero interest
rates in 2015, lif ting the cloud of uncertainty and prompting
investors to pull money out of emerging markets. The inclusion of
the yuan in the SDR basket kept the currency’s internationalization
on track and strengthened China’s commitment to a more flexible
exchange rate regime. However, growth fear spurred capital flight
and caused extreme volatility in the China and Hong Kong stock
markets. Elsewhere, investors grew anxious over provocations
in North Korea and conflicts in Middle East. Navigating the rise
in global market volatility, investment teams of Fubon Life and
Fubon Insurance identified opportunities and delivered strong
returns in 2015. Fubon Life saw its year-end balance of investible
funds increase 10% to NT$2.84 trillion, and return on investment
in the year set another all-time high of NT$130.3 billion. At Fubon
Insurance, assets grew at a steady rate with year-end balance of
investible funds arriving at NT$71.8 billion.
Opportunities and Challenges
In the year ahead, divergent monetary policy will continue to shake
global markets as the U.S tightens financial condition while Europe
and Japan expand monetary stimulus. A glut of crude oil is showing
no signs of easing after the sanctions on Iran and the U.S. oil
export ban were lifted, and slumping oil prices are increasing fiscal
pressures on oil-exporting nations. Geopolitical risks, in particular
rising tensions in the Middle East, will be another destabilizing factor
for global markets. Moves in the yuan should continue to affect short-
term market sentiment in Asia and worldwide. In the long term, the
13th Five Year Plan (2016–2020) is expected to help China move to
a more sustainable growth path with its vision to implement supply-
side reforms, encourage consumption and speed up urbanization.
All in all, markets in 2016 are likely to be driven by monetary and fiscal
policy actions, oil prices and China’s growth levels.
Amidst a backdrop of diverging monetary policy and moderate
economic growth, investment teams of Fubon Life and Fubon
Insurance will follow global events closely to determine the
opportune time to invest while being selective in the targets they
want to invest in. The portfolios will be invested primarily in global
and domestic fixed-income securities and stock with high dividend
and blue chips in order to strenghten the function of asset-liability
management. They will also seek high-quality real estate assets
and opportunities to invest in public infrastructure in order to
generate sustainable long-term returns.
Direct Investment
Unleashing Profit Potential
The group’s direct investment division identifies and secures
new business opportunities through joint venture or by investing
directly in high-potential companies in the healthcare, information
technology, cultural and creative, green energy, infrastructure and
financial industries. Its goal is to seize the opportunities that arise
from Taiwan’s ongoing transition to a knowledge-based, service-
driven economy.
The group ended the year 2015 with direct investment valued at
NT$7.543 billion, including NT$2.418 billion in healthcare; NT$1.803
billion in infrastructure; NT$1.398 billion in cultural and creative
industries and media channels; NT$454 million in f inancials;
NT$417 million in venture capital; NT$370 million in energy and
environmental engineering; NT$305 million in hospitality, food and
beverage; NT$308 million in IT and e-commerce; and NT$25 million
in sports and entertainment.

▲ At the annual art festival Very Fun Park, artist Yu Wen-Fu covers the façade of an idle building with over 60,000
bamboo sticks.
▲ Fubon employees experience rice farming and learn about sustainable agriculture through Fubon EDU’s environmental day trips.
Fubon Art FoundationFubon Cultural & Educational Foundation
Established in 1997, the Fubon Art Foundation has a long-standing
commitment to sharing art with the community. Past and current
projects include Very Fun Park, Fubon Forum, Art Map and Fun Art
Radio. The foundation also develops corporate gifts for Fubon Financial
Holdings and its members using licensed images from aspiring artists,
underscoring its efforts to make art a part of everyday life.
In 2015, Very Fun Park celebrated its 10th anniversary by selecting
10 locations in eastern Taipei as creative hubs. Nearly 30 artists
invigorated neglected parts of the city with art installations, which
engage viewers in a visual and physical dialogue with space. The
project compiled its own virtual collection, the first of its kind in Asia,
by using Google’s online platform through which the public can
access images of the artists’ work.
In its 15th year, Fubon Forum provides the public an opportunity
for learning and enrichment with lectures on living an aesthetically
fulfilling life. To date, 772 speakers have shared their insights in
1,763 lectures and classes, attracting audiences of over 180,000.
The 36 public lectures and 28 fee-charging classes organized in
2015 featured, among others, Ichizawa Shinzaburo, president of
Ichizawa Shinzaburo Hanpu; Fumio Nanjo, director of the Mori Art
Museum; Teruo Kurosaki, founding director of Freedom University;
Masaaki Kanai, president of MUJI; and Colm Tóibín, a renowned Irish
writer. The prestigious list of guest speakers highlights a growing
international reputation of Fubon Forum.
In the year ahead, the Fubon Art Foundation will build a cloud
platform through which to display digital representations of its
art exhibitions. It also will continue with projects that help people
develop an appreciation of ar t and heighten their aesthetic
experience of everyday life.
The Fubon Cultural & Educational Foundation has guided teenagers
on their journey of life, helping them harness their potential and
develop a global mindset. In 2015, its efforts were focused on youth
education, parental-child communication, financial literacy and the
celebration of positive energy.
The foundation launched Rolling Film School, a series of film
appreciation classes at 15 senior high and vocational schools
to help students learn about films through screenings, lectures,
and a digital platform designed to support the teaching about the
film medium. The foundation looks to eventually make Rolling film
school an elective course in Taiwan’s secondary education.
Meanwhile, the Young Voice Workshop continued to empower
young people to find their voice, express their opinion on public
issues and showcase their talent. Let’s Talk about Media radio
show once again served as a vital platform for dialogue between
parents and chi ldren. A video channel that turns i ts radio
broadcasts into Internet programming has attracted over 4.5 million
viewers as of the end of 2015.
The Future Tycoon Outreach Program offered financial education
to more than 4,000 students at 35 primary schools in 2015. The

▲ Foundation staff members explain the benefit of broken bones insurance cover to an elderly beneficiary.
Shanghai Fubon Charity FoundationTaipei Fubon Bank Charity Foundation
In 2015, the Taipei Fubon Bank Charity Foundation added three adult
day care centers in Guangyuan and Litao villages and on the Orchid
Island of Taitung County to help seniors live happily and healthy in
a stimulating social environment. In celebration of the Double Ninth
Festival, the foundation held seven recreational activities for the elderly
to enjoy the company of their peers, and gave away hat-and-scarf gift
sets to help them stay warm during the winter months.
Moreover, the foundation was actively involved in increasing
awareness and advocacy of dementia. It circulated information packs,
put up posters at the branches of Taipei Fubon Bank, and placed
dementia testing forms and screening guidelines in the bank’s ATM
areas. It also developed wearable NFC wristbands to locate dementia
patients in partnership with Taiwan Mobile Network, an affiliate of the
Fubon Group, and the Federation for the Welfare of the Elderly.
With a commitment to supporting family caregivers, the foundation
provided a total of 250 support group events for caregivers of people
with dementia and respite events for those who care for family
members affected by disabilities, giving caregivers the chance to take
a breather, re-energize and connect with others.
The Artistic Achievement Awards for the Disabled entered its
seventh year in 2015, giving people with disabilities an opportunity
to showcase their musical and performance talent. The All Love
Orchestra, an ensemble composed of past award winners, continued
to tour around Taiwan, and their rousing performances brightened
up a wide variety of occasions from school graduations, awards
ceremonies, festive celebrations to adult day care events.
The Shanghai Fubon Charity Foundation was established
by Fubon Bank (China) on July 24, 2015, and is a private
foundation registered with the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau.
The foundation was created with a mission to support low-
income women and spread positive energy to where it is
needed. It has empowered numerous women by providing
them access to education, healthcare and emergency aid,
particularly the vulnerable individuals who are disengaged from
supports and services.
To date, the Shanghai Fubon Charity Foundation has focused its
charitable efforts on two programs: contributions to the families
of female fire personnel and the widows and orphaned children
of firefighters who died in the line of duty at massive explosions
at the Port of Tianjin in August 2015; and a partnership with
Fubon Insurance to offer broken bones insurance to insured
female seniors above 70 years of age. Starting off with 20 pilot
locations in Shanghai, the free insurance cover is being offered
across the city with an estimated 1,500 elderly people to benefit
per year.
The Shanghai Fubon Charity Foundation is following in the
footsteps of larger, long-established charities affiliated with
Fubon Financial Holdings as it focuses resources to address
local needs and give back to the community. Heading into 2016,
the foundation will remain committed to uniting people and
organizations to make a meaningful difference in the lives of low-
income women. It also will strive each day to earn public trust
and confidence that is critical to achieving its mission.
2015 Annual Report

Fubon traces its roots to 1961 when Fubon Insurance, formerly known
as Cathay Insurance, began operations as Taiwan’s first private P&C
insurance company. Since then, Fubon has grown into one of Taiwan’s
largest conglomerates with presence in most major sectors of the
domestic economy.
In 1985, Mr. Wan-Tsai Tsai, the late founder of the Fubon Group,
articulated three principles—integrity, diligence and modesty—to be
followed at both the personal and corporate level. He defined integrity
as the foundation for conducting oneself, diligence as the foundation for
building entrepreneurship, and modesty as the foundation for cultivating
one’s nature and dealing with people. Setting the example himself, Mr.
Tsai had encouraged every employee to put these principles into action.
Through integrity, diligence and modesty, the Group has laid the
building blocks of success. For Mr. Tsai, integrity is exhibited by being
trustworthy and using judgment and common sense in business
decision-making. A financial company must strive to act with integrity
as clients trust it to be a good steward of their assets. Without trust, a
business cannot succeed. A highly-valued traditional virtue, diligence
has been embedded in Fubon’s corporate culture and embraced by all
employees, whose dedication and hard work enables Fubon to build
leading positions in various markets. Modesty, in summary, is the quality
of being humble, unpretentious, and showing leniency to others but not
to oneself.
For more than half a century, Fubon has solidified its presence in Taiwan
while actively gaining a foothold in other Asian markets. Fubon Financial
Holdings is Taiwan’s second-largest financial holding company known
for its market-leading, comprehensive range of financial services. Its
subsidiaries rank among the top performers in their respective sectors.
In 2015, Fubon Financial Holdings again topped the industry with the
best profit performance and remained the most profitable financial
holding company for seven years in a row.
Looking ahead, Fubon will continue to uphold its three principles
and apply its four core values of integrity, sincerity, professionalism
and innovation to guide management decisions. These standards of
professional and ethical conduct create an obligation to develop the
business for the long term, act responsibly as a corporate citizen, and
bring positive energy to where it is needed. They also lay a strong
foundation for continuing success as Fubon Financial Holdings
advances its goal to become a first-class financial institution in Asia.
