Launch of three major sectors, asset management, investment holding and media services
Asset management sector is a brand-new segment added to the Group. In 2020, the Group formed an asset management team with series 65 securities licenses and started to invest on securities in January 2020. Based on the asset management team's unique portfolio strategies and accurate judgment to the market, the securities investment sector has yielded an ideal return for the Group. The Group plans to officially launch its securities investment business after it has obtained the asset management qualification from FINRA in January 2021. Moreover, the Group is in process to register with SEC for investment advisory, which is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2021. The Group is also in the midst of setting up a private fund, which is expected to provide equity investments and investment advisory services in the U.S. stock market. In the future, ATIF anticipates the asset management business will generate sustainable and stable fund management fee income and high return performance bonus income for the Group.
The investment holding sector will optimize the existing going public consulting services by switching the service fee from cash remuneration to equity remuneration instead. The Group understands that start-ups have liquidity problems and this solution will help incubating start-ups and provide higher return opportunities for the Group, bringing a win-win situation for both the Group and its clients. The media services sector will strengthen the existing media services to provide public and investor relations services to companies and going public advisory clients in China. The Group's business center in PRC has deep media relations and experienced capital market operations, and is able to provide comprehensive investor relations services and domestic media promotion services to US-listed Chinese companies.
Mr. Pishan Chi, Chief Executive Officer and Director of ATIF, commented, "We are very pleased with the establishment of our California headquarters. Since our IPO in May 2019, we have been exploring and experimenting with our business operating model and ultimately found that a streamlined operating model will greatly improve the Group's management efficiency and give us more energy to think and create a more comprehensive, timely, and efficient business and service structure for our clients. We expect that the new California headquarters and the newly optimized strategic business model will bring a fresh start and a strong future for ATIF."
Mr. Liu Jun, Chairman of the Board and President of ATIF, added: "This new business addition and strategic transformation of ATIF is a bold judgment and beneficial measure made by the Group's management in response to the fast-past and ever-changing business environment in the U.S. capital market in a timely manner. In the face of the enormous challenges posed by the 2020 epidemic, we have committed a lot of internal analysis and adjustment considerations and made careful forecasts of the future capital market and business environment. We believe that this new business addition and transformation is not only a big step for ATIF to move towards global business, but also a new opportunity for ATIF. We expect that the new business sectors and business portfolio will bring diversified revenue to the Group and sustainable high growth earnings to our shareholders."
