It is traditionally believed that Chinese people are diligent and thrifty, being conservative and singular in their investments. Once they obtained money, they would keep it in a bank. In fact, the data shows that the above situation has gradually changed over the years.

The statistical data of BCG Global Wealth shows that total amount of private investable assets of Chinese people has reached 122 trillion yuan. With this available money, the financial management mode of Chinese people has also become more diverse and modern. The 2016 Report on the Development of Financial Services China's Banking Industry showed that, as of the end of 2016, the great scale of the asset management industry in China had reached 116.18 trillion yuan.

It can be used to describe the tall head in the near axis, and the long tail in the horizontal axis. The emphasis is on the commercial value of the majority of the individuals to enjoy the financial services that they could not previously obtain.

In 2017, Tianhong Asset financial products have more than 100 million rural users in third and fourth-tier cities.

In order to meet the needs of a "forecast + response" risk control system, Tianhong Asset has internally developed it "Tianyan System" and "Hawk-Eye System".

In terms of the general asset management industry, the "liquidity risk", Tianhong Asset has developed a corresponding technical system, in which the system can clearly predict the flow of funds over the next 30 days, and has achieved excellent performance of its "zero accident" liquidity management.
