iFAST Corp has strived to enhance our platform’s capabilities by including more investment products and services, including bonds, ETFs and online discretionary portfolio management services. In 2016, our acquisition of a stockbroking firm in Hong Kong was completed in January, and we launched our stockbroking services on our HK B2B platform subsequently in June. Our China business was also soft-launched in March. We partnered an online media company to provide online fund transactional capabilities for their customers, and we also recruited wealth advisers under our ‘platform-cum-IFA incubator’ strategy to promote the wealth advisory industry in China. The Group also acquired a stake in the holding company of the iFAST India business in April.
