HONG KONG -- Hong Kong insurer FWD Group Holdings, controlled by tycoon Richard Li, has revived a bid for an IPO on its home bourse after shelving plans for a U.S. listing last year.

Documents filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange late Tuesday confirmed that the company aims to list its shares in the financial hub, but they did not disclose details of how much it planned to raise or when the offering may be launched.
