VI Group Invited to Visit Shenzhen Bay Yacht Club

Exploring Practical Pathways for Australian Mining within Investment Portfolios

On 18 September 2025, VI Group was invited to visit Shenzhen Bay Yacht Club. Located in the core bay area of the Guangdong–Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen Bay Yacht Club is one of China’s earlier high-end, membership-based yacht clubs, integrating marina berths with clubhouse facilities. Over the years, the Club has attracted members from investment, industry, finance, and professional services, gradually establishing itself as a premium platform characterised by long-term perspectives and cross-disciplinary dialogue.

During the visit, VI Group engaged in discussions with Mr. Liu Dehui, Chairman of Shenzhen Bay Yacht Club. As a key leader of the Club, Mr. Liu has long been involved in its overall operations and strategic development, with a focus on shaping the Club into a high-end social space that combines lifestyle experiences with intellectual exchange. Under his leadership, the Club has evolved beyond a leisure and meeting venue into a forum where investors and entrepreneurs from diverse sectors exchange long-term investment philosophies and asset allocation strategies.

The discussion began with an overview of the Australian resources market and gradually extended to how Australian mining assets can be incorporated into investment portfolios through practical and executable allocation strategies. The exchange focused on the role of mining assets in long-term portfolio construction, including their resource characteristics, cyclical features, and the alignment between capital structures and implementation pathways.

For VI Group, such engagements represent a natural extension of its approach to work. Whether at project sites or in broader, cross-sector exchanges, the team consistently starts from the fundamentals of the resource itself, integrating capital considerations and execution conditions to explore investment strategies that are genuinely feasible in practice.
