The portfolio is anchored in private housing estate catchments across Hong Kong and serves daily-necessity needs through a curated tenant mix of supermarkets, retail, dining, banking, education, and medical services.

The trust was originally listed in August 2003 on the SGX-ST as Asia's first cross-border REIT, raised HK$2.2 billion from its IPO, and dual-listed on HKEX in April 2010 before voluntarily delisting from Singapore in October 2019.

The REIT is externally managed by ESR Asset Management (Fortune) Limited, a subsidiary of ESR Group, with HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Asia) Limited acting as Trustee and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as auditor. Revenue is generated through four streams: base rental income, charge-out collections (utilities and management fees recovered from tenants), car park income from 2,793 spaces, and turnover rent linked to tenant sales. FY2025 revenue was HK$1,682.4 million (down 3.7% year-on-year), with distributable income of HK$722.9 million and a 100% payout ratio translating into a 2025 full-year distribution per unit of HK$0.3522 against NAV per unit of HK$12.22. Occupancy stood at 95.8% and gearing at 26.9%.

The operating platform includes the Fortune Malls Mobile App with Fortune+ membership covering 1,600+ shops, way-finding functionality, and digital rewards, alongside an active asset enhancement initiative (AEI) program that has delivered over 20% ROI on every AEI since 2008.
