HONG KONG, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong) Limited (“Mirae Asset”) today announced the listing of the Global X S&P 500 Covered Call Active ETF on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, offering investors two trading counters:

• HKD Counter (Stock Code: 3415.HK)
• USD Counter (Stock Code: 9415.HK)

This new ETF combines S&P 500 exposure with an active covered call strategy, aiming to provide premium income# potential, downside cushioning, and tax efficiency for Hong Kong investors.

Key Features of the ETF:

1. Innovative Income# Strategy – The ETF aims to deliver monthly distributions (not guaranteed and may be paid from capital*), providing investors with an appealing income stream.
2. Downside Cushioning – By writing call options on the S&P 500 index, the strategy generates option premium income, which provide downside protection to help reduce losses of holding the underlying assets during market declines.
3. Tax Efficiency for HK Investors – HK-listed ETFs are subject to no dividend withholding taxes, enhancing net yields.

Ms. Judy Zhu, Chief Executive Officer of Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong) Limited, said: ” We are excited to introduce the Global X S&P 500 Covered Call Active ETF (3415/9415), offering investors a strategic way to access the world’s largest equity market while generating income and managing volatility. This ETF is particularly relevant in today’s uncertain markets, where investors seek both yield and downside protection.” 

Mirae Asset has a strong track record in managing covered call ETFs, leveraging its expertise to deliver efficient, income-generating solutions. The Global X S&P 500 Covered Call Active ETF (3415/9415) further expands its suite of strategic income products, catering to investors seeking yield enhancement and risk management.

# The covered call strategy partially caps potential upside gains. From the time the index call options are written until their expiration, the maximum gain is limited to the premium received from selling the index call options, plus any positive difference between the settlement price and the cost basis of the underlying assets. If the value of the relevant index declines during the option period, the premium income earned by the Fund from writing the index call options may not be sufficient to offset the losses from the long positions.

*Positive distribution does not mean positive return. Payments of distributions out of capital or effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any such distributions may result in an immediate reduction in the Net Asset Value per Share of the Fund and will reduce the capital available for future investment.

Important Information

Investors should not base investment decisions on this material alone. Please refer to the Prospectus for details including the product features and the risk factors. Investment involves risks. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. There is no guarantee of the repayment of the principal. Investors should note:

The investment objective of Global X S&P 500 Covered Call Active ETF (the “Fund”) is to generate income by primarily (i) investing in constituent equity securities in the S&P 500 Index (the “Reference Index”); and (ii) selling (i.e. “writing”) call options on the Reference Index to receive payments of money from the purchaser of call options (i.e. “premium”).

If the value of the securities relating to the Reference Index held by the Fund declines, the premium that the Fund received for writing the Reference Index Call Option may reduce such loss to some extent. However, the downside of adopting a covered call strategy is that the Fund’s opportunity to profit from an increase in the level of the Reference Index is limited to the strike price of the Reference Index Call Options written, plus the premium received.

The market value of a Reference Index Call Option may be affected by factors including supply and demand, interest rates. The Fund’s ability to utilise Reference Index Call Options successfully will depend on the ability of the Manager to correctly predict future price fluctuations. If a Reference Index Call Option expires and if there is a decline in the market value of the Reference Index during the option period, the premiums received by the Fund from writing the Reference Index Call Options may not be sufficient to offset the loss realised.

The Reference Index Call Options in the OTC markets may not be as liquid as exchange-listed options. The Fund may find the terms of counterparties in the OTC markets to be less favorable than the terms available for listed options. Moreover, the exchange may suspend the trading of options in volatile markets which may cause the Fund unable to write Reference Index Call Options at times.

The use of futures contracts involves market risk, volatility risk, leverage risk and negative roll yields and “contango” risk.

Investing in Reference Index Futures and writing Reference Index Call Options generally involve the posting of margin. If the Fund is unable to meet its investment objective as a result of margin requirements imposed by the CME and/or the Fund’s broker, the Fund may experience significant losses.

The Fund employs an actively managed investment strategy. The Fund may fail to meet its objective as a result of the implementation of investment process which may cause the Fund to underperform as compared to direct investments in the constituent equity securities of the Reference Index.

The Fund is exposed to concentration risk by tracking the performance of securities in a specific regions or countries.

To the extent that the constituent securities of Reference Index are concentrated in securities of a particular sector or market, the investments of it may be similarly concentrated.

The trading price of the Fund’s unit on the SEHK is driven by secondary market trading factors, which may lead to a substantial premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value.

The Manager may at its discretion pay dividends out of the capital of the Fund. Distributions paid out of capital, represent a return of an investor’s original investment or its gains and may potentially reduce the Fund’s Net Asset Value per Share as well as the capital available for future investment.

The Fund may suffer from a losses or delays when recovering the securities lent out. This may potentially affect its ability to meet payment and redemption obligations. Collateral shortfalls due to inaccurate pricing or change of value of securities lent, may cause significant losses to the Fund.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mayapada Healthcare (IDX:SRAJ), the healthcare services arm of Mayapada Group, held a commencement ceremony to mark the development of its international-standard hospital, Mayapada Apollo Batam International Hospital (MABIH), located in Batam Tourism and International Healthcare Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Sekupang, Batam, Riau Islands. The ceremony was led by the Chairman of Batam Indonesia Free Trade Zone Authority (BP Batam), Amsakar Achmad. The ceremony marks a significant step in strengthening Indonesia’s national healthcare ecosystem while reducing reliance on overseas medical treatment.

In first phase, MABIH will be developed on 1.68 of 2.9 hectares within Batam Tourism and International Healthcare SEZ, with a second phase adding specialty clinics, support facilities, and amenities designed to provide comfort for patients and families. Through collaboration with Apollo Hospitals India, supported by the government, MABIH will be developed as a green hospital designed by HKS Singapore, Medical Planner; with 11 floors, one semi-basement, 250 beds, and will feature advanced technology and cutting- edge equipment in its centers of excellence (cardiovascular, oncology, neurology, gastrohepatology, and orthopedics). Set to complete by 2027, MABIH will be the first private international hospital in a SEZ, after government-owned Bali International Hospital in Sanur SEZ.

Jonathan Tahir, President Commissioner of Mayapada Healthcare, stated, “The construction of MABIH is not only an investment in healthcare but also an investment in the future of the nation. We believe every Indonesian deserves access to international-standard healthcare without having to travel abroad. Through MABIH, we aim to strengthen Indonesia’s healthcare independence while enhancing Indonesians’ trust in the quality of domestic healthcare services.”

Rizal Edwin Manansang, Acting Secretary General of the National Council for SEZ, representing the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs of Indonesia, revealed that nearly two million Indonesians seek medical treatment abroad every year, leading to potential foreign exchange outflow of up to IDR 200 trillion. This issue has drawn serious attention from the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, who views the establishment of MABIH as a strategic project with significant impact on the nation’s healthcare industry. “I highly appreciate Mayapada Healthcare’s initiative to establish MABIH in this strategic area. The Batam Tourism and International Healthcare SEZ is a strategic breakthrough by the government, following the earlier healthcare SEZ in Sanur, aimed at delivering international-standard medical services. Through this initiative, we can provide healthcare services on par with the world’s best for the people of Indonesia.”

Amsakar Achmad, Chairman of BP Batam stated, “This is in line with the President’s directive on how Batam can significantly contribute to driving the economy and attracting investment.” He also hopes that MABIH would serve as a catalyst for economic growth in Batam through the creation of hundreds of new professional jobs and enhancing the region’s competitiveness. “With Mayapada’s international standards, residents who previously had to travel abroad for medical treatment can now receive care here. We are even optimistic that Batam can attract international patients to seek treatment locally. Mayapada will become a new destination for medical tourism in Batam.”

Navin Sonthalia, President Director & CEO Mayapada Healthcare expressed optimism the collaboration with Apollo Hospitals India will position MABIH as an innovation hub uniting world-class expertise and continuous knowledge transfer to reduce patients going abroad. He stated, “With an investment of over IDR 1 trillion, MABIH will feature advanced technology and international-standard centers of excellence. SEZ regulations provide strategic advantages: enabling the presence of seniorforeign doctors with specialized expertise, strengthening collaborations with globally competent Indonesian doctors, and facilitating access to advanced medical devices and essential medicines for innovative therapies previously hard to obtain. Combined with fiscal incentives that lower operational costs, all these elements are directed toward delivering international-standard healthcare services at competitive costs for Indonesians.”

In separate statement, Dr. Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director Apollo Hospitals remarked, “MABIH is the result of strong global partnership, marking crucial step in bringing cross-border healthcare innovation to Indonesia. With Mayapada Healthcare, we are ready to bring clinical expertise, cutting-edge technology, and best practices to Indonesia, to build resilient healthcare ecosystem, expanding access and improving the nation’s quality of care.”

TOKYO, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rojicoya Co., Ltd., an organization dedicated to preserving and sharing Japan’s traditional culture (“Wa-bunka”) in modern society, presents an authentic Edo Time-Trip experience in Tokyo’s Asakusa and Kitasenju districts. Reviving the waterways that once supported Edo’s prosperity, the group offers two unique tours: the Edo Time-Trip Yakatabune (traditional boat) Night Cruise, and the Timeless Edo Walking Tour.

Celebrating the theme of “Edo Chic”, the programs invite participants to step back in time and enjoy Edo culture through riverside scenery, traditional multi-course cuisine, shamisen performances, geisha entertainment, and guided walking tours with a Rakugo storyteller.

Tourism Media Service spoke with the organizers to learn more about this special project.

Tour Story & Highlights

From Asakusa to Kitasenju – 400 Years of Edo and Tokyo Connected by Waterways

In 2025, Edo is hotter than ever! Kitasenju (Adachi Ward, Tokyo), celebrating the 400th anniversary of its post town, and Asakusa (Taito Ward, Tokyo), linked to the “media king of Edo” Jūzaburō Tsutaya and featured in NHK’s Taiga drama “Berabō”. These two towns, once bustling gateways to Edo where travelers gathered and commoner culture blossomed, still retain the timeless charm of old Edo.

This project offers two walking tours guided by a Rakugo storyteller and a separate Yakatabune night cruise on the Sumida River.

In Asakusa (Sept & Nov), participants will stroll through Asakusa Shrine and Denpoin Street before trying their hand at Edo kiriko glass-cutting at the historic workshop Soukichi. In Kitasenju (Oct), visitors will explore Yacchaba Street, the former Senju Honjin, the preserved townhouse “Nakacho-no-Ie,” and sites connected to haiku poet Matsuo Basho, combined with a hands-on wagashi (Japanese confectionery) workshop with a master artisan.

Each course highlights the unique cultural identity of these historic towns and connects past and present through immersive experiences.

In addition, the Edo Time-Trip Yakatabune Night Cruise departs from Asakusa. While gliding along the river, guests will savor Edo-style cuisine including freshly fried tempura, enjoy unlimited drinks, listen to live shamisen music, and be entertained by geisha from Asakusa’s hanamachi. This is a rare opportunity to relive Edo’s riverside banquet culture in a truly authentic setting.

Guided with humor and insight by a Rakugo storyteller, participants will discover the food culture and everyday life of Edo while experiencing its streets and waterways. Choose Asakusa or Kitasenju, then end the evening on the Yakatabune—or go for the ultimate experience by joining all three. Trace 400 years of history and create your very own Edo journey in Tokyo.

The Monsters Pin for Love Series Available Starting August 29

SYDNEY, MADRID and LONDON, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — POP MART’s mini-sized Labubu pendant, as part of “The Monsters Pin For Love Series”, debuts today on AliExpress, Alibaba’s global retail marketplace.

The collection features two alphabetical series, A-M and N-Z, with each pendant corresponding to a letter of the alphabet. Each series contains 14 standard designs and one hidden design. Collectors have a 1:14 chance of obtaining a standard design and a 1:168 chance for the hidden version.

Unlike the regular 17-centimeter Labubu vinyl plushies, the Mini Labubu measures 10.5 centimeters in height (6 x 4.5 x 10.5 cm), making it ideal for phone charms and keychains.

The Monsters series character Labubu, designed by Kasing Lung, surged in popularity after celebrities were spotted with the toys in 2023. The toothy monster has since become a global collectible sensation.

POP MART launched its official flagship store on AliExpress in 2020, marking a significant step in its global expansion. The platform has since become a vital channel for POP MART, featuring livestream shopping and offline events showcasing its popular character collections.

In late August, AliExpress and POP MART brought their first Skullpanda character event to the music festival – elrow Town Marbella 2025 in Spain. Visitors to the AliExpress × POP MART booth participated in interactive games for exclusive prizes in an immersive, music-filled environment.

AliExpress partnered with POP MART in June for multiple livestream events, enhancing the shopping experience for collectible toy fans. This Mini Labubu release marks another step in expanding the character’s global market presence.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The JungKwanJang delegation included Kim Yang-jin, Director General of the Overseas Business Division; Jung Jong, Director General of the Asia-Pacific Business Division; and Kim Jong-sik, Director of the Future Business Research Institute, along with five other representatives. HEC Group was represented by Director and General Manager Tang Xinfa; Lu Yuxin, Director and General Coordinator of the Health Industry; Li Wenjia, Deputy General Coordinator of the Health Industry and Dean of the Health Research Institute; Chen Hao, General Manager of HEC Pharmacy Chain Sales; Chen Junhao, among other corporate leaders.

Key Focal Discussions: Powerful Alliance Launches a New Chapter in the Global Health Industry

During the meeting, both sides shared their core strengths and strategies. Tang Xinfa, Director and General Manager of HEC Group, highlighted the company’s focus on ecological breeding and scientific innovation of Cordyceps sinensis, while expanding its market applications. Through premium brand HEC Fresh Cordyceps and national brand HEC Buji, the group pursues its vision of “making high-quality Cordyceps accessible to all.” With aligned visions and strategies, both parties look forward to synergizing across products, channels, and branding to advance the global health industry.

JungKwanJang representatives highlighted their pursuit of partners with innovation, quality, and cultural influence. Recognizing HEC Group as a global leader in ecological Cordyceps with strong achievements in research, quality, and tonic culture, they see it as an ideal partner. Together, the “Red Ginseng + Cordyceps” synergy is expected to bring the health benefits of modern technology and traditional tonics to more consumers worldwide.

Through this partnership, the two parties will establish a comprehensive strategic collaboration, leveraging their core strengths in ecological Cordyceps sinensis breeding R&D and Korean red ginseng health products. Together, they will drive the global development of premium health products.

International Perspective: Mutual Empowerment to Boost Global Branding

Amid globalization, Chinese enterprises are advancing globally with products as the foundation, brands as the wings, and culture as the soul. Within this framework, HEC Group is building a health ecosystem that bridges tradition and modernity, domestic and international markets, with Cordyceps sinensis at its core.

As a national health brand with global reach, HEC Cordyceps has steadily advanced its international strategy—partnering with the Boao Forum for Asia, appearing at high-level platforms such as the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, and hosting the Summit Forum on Cordyceps Brand Internationalization to engage leading experts on global development.

Through this collaboration, both sides will leverage their global strengths—JungKwanJang ‘s presence in over 40 countries and regions and HEC Group’s extensive pharmaceutical and wellness network—to accelerate cross-border circulation of health products. They will drive joint marketing, co-branded products, and expansion in China and abroad, further enhancing both brands’ global influence.

Forward-looking Layout: Upgrading the Health Industry with “Cordyceps+”

In recent years, ecological breeding of Cordyceps sinensis has grown rapidly. Since 2007, HEC Group has invested over RMB 4 billion and built a team of 260 experts, establishing a 400,000 m² ecological base with annual output exceeding 60 tons—leading the global industrialization of Cordyceps breeding.

HEC Group has built a health industry cluster centered on raw Cordyceps and extended into deep-processed products, addressing wellness, travel convenience, and premium gifting. It has ranked first globally in ecological Cordyceps sales for five consecutive years.

Leveraging advanced deep-processing technology, the Group is developing “Cordyceps+” products aligned with global wellness trends—such as Whitening Drinks and Lung-Clearing Powder—reinterpreting traditional tonics for diverse cultural needs.

Through its partnership with JungKwanJang, HEC Group will integrate world-leading Cordyceps breeding with red ginseng deep-processing technology to create a new generation of functional health products—another forward-looking step in its “Cordyceps+” strategy.

Looking ahead, HEC Group will expand its portfolio, modernize traditional tonics, and accelerate the globalization of Eastern wellness through premium Cordyceps products and services. Singapore, as HEC Group’s regional hub, will see the opening of its flagship store at the iconic Marina Bay Sands in 2026. This milestone underscores the Group’s ambition to expand its global footprint in health & wellness.
