In the last few months, we've seen the platform grow from strength to strength. Having more than 150,000 registered users on our app is testament to the strong potential that Lu Global holds. We are happy to announce that OCBC Bank is one of the first corporate customers with access to our products. It's a great validation that our product offering is something that is meaningful both to accredited and corporate clients. We have also seen substantial interest from private equity firms keen on exploring new forms of distribution. This success is largely due to the credibility and returns which investors have experienced on the platform. It is also an exciting phase as we continue to expand our product line and open our doors to welcome corporate clients in Asia."

It leverages on Ping An's award-winning technology, and Lufax's strong expertise in online wealth management solutions.
