Worldsec ( (GB:WSL) ) has issued an announcement.

Worldsec Limited swung to an audited consolidated profit of US$215,000 for 2025 from a US$55,000 loss a year earlier, with earnings per share at US0.25 cent and net asset value edging up to US6.6 cents per share. The improved result was supported by cash distributions from its indirect stake in ByteDance via the Homaer Asset Management Master Fund, lifting cash and cash equivalents to US$923,000 at year-end.

After the reporting period, Worldsec broadened its technology exposure by backing Advanced Machine Intelligence Labs through commitments to two specialist funds investing in the AI start-up’s seed and convertible securities. The move aligns the group with the powerful AI investment wave that is offsetting global macro headwinds, even as geopolitical tensions, elevated tariffs and energy-market disruptions cloud the 2026 outlook for private equity returns and fundraising.
