Stars
Tiantian Fund Distribution Platform
Tiantian Fund Distribution Platform, part of East Money Information Co., holds a dominant retail fund-sales position as China shifts from real estate to financial assets; retail mutual fund AUM rose 28% in 2024 to RMB 8.1 trillion, fueling platform volumes. It leverages East Money’s 300+ million MAU and doubled fund transaction value to RMB 1.2 trillion in 2024, but needs steady tech investment to scale peak throughput. By blending social features with trading—community, live streams, one-click subscriptions—Tiantian outcompetes banks for wallet share and new retail investors.
Choice Financial Data Terminal
Choice Financial Data Terminal is an institutional-grade service grabbing share from legacy vendors by offering ~40–60% lower subscription cost per user and comparable analytics; Choice reported 2025 ARR growth of 78% year-over-year and reached CNY 1.2 billion in revenue by Dec 2025.
The platform’s integrated tools drove a 35% increase in enterprise customer retention in 2025, yet maintaining data quality needs R and D spend equal to ~22% of revenue; that investment positions Choice as East Money’s strategic growth engine.
AI-Driven Investment Advisory Services
Leveraging proprietary large language models, East Money’s AI-driven advisory gives personalized portfolio recommendations to over 12 million retail users as of Q4 2025, up 68% year-over-year.
Demand for data-driven advice is fueling explosive growth: the segment’s revenues rose to RMB 1.1 billion in 2025, a 72% CAGR since 2022, overtaking legacy human-advice margins.
It requires heavy capex—GPU cloud costs and R&D totaled ~RMB 420 million in 2025—but high adoption and 38% gross margins make it East Money’s primary growth engine.
Margin Financing and Securities Lending
Margin Financing and Securities Lending is a high-growth, capital-intensive Star: retail margin balances rose 38% YoY to RMB 86.2 billion in 2025, driven by elevated volatility and record retail activity.
East Money leverages its 60 million brokerage users to hold the top online margin market share, funding rapid loan growth despite heavy capital needs.
The strong retail appetite for leverage keeps this unit a Star—net interest and fee income up 47% in 2025—while requiring continued capital allocation.
- RMB 86.2B retail margin balances (2025)
- 60M brokerage users
- Net interest/fee income +47% (2025)
- High capital intensity, high market share
International Securities Operations
International Securities Operations is a Star: expansion into Hong Kong and APAC taps a projected HKD 1.2 trillion (2024) cross-border retail flow, and East Money gained ~8% share vs global brokers in Q3 2025 as Chinese offshore portfolio allocation rose to 14% of household equity holdings.
Continued capex for licenses and local marketing—estimated RMB 450–600m over 2026—will be needed to scale execution and convert this high-growth unit into a dominant global broker.
- 2024 cross-border retail flows HKD 1.2T
- Q3 2025 market share ~8% vs globals
- Chinese offshore allocation 14% of equity holdings
- Planned investment RMB 450–600m (2026)
East Money’s growth engines surge—top metrics strong, but capex/R&D bite margins
East Money’s Stars—Tiantian Fund, Choice Terminal, AI advisory, Margin Financing, and Int’l Securities—drive high growth (2025: Tiantian fund transactions RMB1.2T; Choice ARR CNY1.2B; AI advisory users 12M, revenue RMB1.1B; margin balances RMB86.2B; Int’l share ~8%) but need heavy capex/R&D (2025 GPU+R&D ~RMB420M; 2026 planned RMB450–600M).
