By Joanne Chiu Close Joanne Chiu Oct. 8, 2020 4:06 am ET One of China’s largest financial-technology companies, Lufax Holding Ltd., is planning an initial public offering in the U.S., even as some other Chinese companies are opting to sell stock closer to home.
With a U.S. listing, Lufax is targeting what it sees as a more sophisticated and specialized investor base for fintech, this person added. In contrast, its bigger peer, the Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. -backed Ant Group Co., is planning concurrent listings on the Hong Kong stock exchange and on Shanghai’s nascent STAR Market.
Lufax made $1.0 billion of net profit in the first half of this year, on revenue of $3.6 billion. As of June, its wealth-management clients held $53 billion of assets, and individuals had $73.5 billion of loans outstanding that had been enabled by its platforms. Those figures made it China’s third- and second-largest nontraditional provider of online wealth management and retail credit, respectively, according to analysis from consultants Oliver Wyman cited in its listing document.
China owns our National Debt. Now they create a company that will own our personal debts, mortgages, etc. where will this stop?
, off subject but just an observation. Elect Trump to keep the economy improving and employment will take care of Health care. Jobs are how most people receive their health Insurance. Full employment won’t ever happen but will make the Government’s cost much less
A person familiar with the situation?
COUNTRIES THAT ARE MEMBER OF THE COMMONWEALTH CAN NOT IGNORE THE RULES OF COMMONWEALTH. NO COUNTRY CAN DISOBEY THE RULES OF BRITISH. IF THEY DO, THEY CAN BE ORDERED TO BE BANNED.
What could possibly go wrong?
