Futu Holdings Limited targets adding 800,000 net new funding accounts in 2026 and expects its Malaysia operations to reach breakeven within six to 12 months [1, 2].
These goals signal the company's aggressive push for regional expansion and profitability in Southeast Asia as it scales its tech-driven wealth-management platform.
Company management said the brokerage added 225,000 net new funding accounts in the first quarter of 2026 [2]. This growth brought the total number of funding accounts to 3.59 million [2]. The company said this figure represents a 34% increase year-over-year and a 7% increase quarter-over-quarter [2].
Futu, which is headquartered in Hong Kong, is focusing on client-base expansion to drive its broader growth strategy [1, 2]. The projection for the Malaysian market to reach breakeven is based on results from the quarter ended March 31, 2026 [3].
"We are on track to add 800,000 net new funding accounts in 2026 and expect our Malaysia business to reach breakeven within the next six to 12 months," company management said [1].
The company's trajectory in the first quarter provides the foundation for these annual targets. By combining a high volume of new account acquisitions with a timeline for operational profitability in Malaysia, Futu aims to diversify its revenue streams across different Asian markets [1, 2].
"In the first quarter, we added 225,000 net new funding accounts, bringing our total funding accounts to 3.59 million, up 34% year-over-year and 7% quarter-over-quarter," company management said [2].
“Futu targets adding 800,000 net new funding accounts in 2026.”
Futu's focus on the Malaysian market and a high target for new funded accounts suggests a shift toward capturing the emerging retail investor class in Southeast Asia. Achieving breakeven in Malaysia within a year would validate the company's scalability outside its primary hubs, reducing its dependence on any single regulatory environment or market.
