Zander Yin, Co-Founder and CEO of Noah Holdings


"The third quarter results validate the foresight of our strategic transformation. The increased proportion of investment products, along with global booking centers and AI projects moving from planning to deployment, highlight the effectiveness of our transformation. Moving forward, we will firmly proceed around three cores:
Firstly, with AUA and AUM as the fundamental growth metrics, we will deepen client engagement through full-lifecycle services, enhance client value, continuously drive client participation and penetration in investment products, and steadily promote AUA and AUM growth. 


Secondly, we will fully embrace AI, making technology an organizational capability and system to create better experiences for clients, improve efficiency for employees, and ultimately deliver sustainable returns for shareholders. At Noah, AI is not a 'PPT concept' but a truly institutionalized operational capability. We will advance the construction of full-link AI capabilities on a steady path.
Thirdly, we will deepen our global layout, using the four booking centers and three clear business units as leverage to continuously solidify our infrastructure capabilities for cross-border asset allocation."
