YGM Trading Limited is an investment-holding company whose subsidiaries design, manufacture, wholesale, retail and license fashion garments and brands, operate a security-printing and general-printing business, and hold an investment property. The group reports four segments: sales of garments (wholesale and retail); licensing of trademarks; printing and related services (security printing); and property rental. It owns the global intellectual-property rights to the Guy Laroche and Ashworth brands, and has historically held or distributed brands including Aquascutum, Wrangler (as Hong Kong and China licensee from 1973), Michel René and J.Lindeberg. YGM Trading Limited sold the Aquascutum business (Aquascutum Holdings Limited) to Jining Ruyi Investment Co., Ltd., part of China’s Shandong Ruyi group, for US$117 million under an agreement announced in March 2017, with completion on 23 November 2017.
For the financial year ended 31 March 2026 the group reported consolidated revenue of HK$161.1 million (FY2025: HK$177.9 million) and a consolidated loss attributable to equity shareholders of HK$37.6 million (FY2025: loss of HK$23.7 million), the wider loss reflecting a HK$21.5 million trademark impairment and a HK$12.4 million valuation loss on its London investment property; consolidated net assets were HK$370.6 million. The group operated 28 points of sale (23 in Hong Kong and 5 in Macau) after ceasing retail operations in mainland China and Taiwan, and employed approximately 180 people. In November 2025 shareholders approved a capital reduction cutting the share-capital account from HK$383.9 million to HK$20.0 million to offset accumulated losses, and on 11 March 2026 YGM Trading Limited contracted to dispose of a subsidiary that holds the Ashworth trademark to related company Chanson (HK) Limited, a disposal approved by shareholders on 26 June 2026.
