| In this strategic decision underscores management's confidence in the company's stable operations and long-term growth potential |
| We're actually seeing a very good turnout attendance for the past three stops and we have two more to go for the annual gala, but probably would take place in next year early next year |
| The total transaction value for overseas private secondary products was USD530 million in the third quarter, up 17 times year-over-year, 65% quarter-over-quarter, driven mainly by strong demand for discretionary investment products and structured products |
| Our domestic insurance brokerage business achieved a remarkable year-on-year growth of 63.4% in the first three quarters of 2023 |
| In our international wealth management segment, we rollout the CCI model comprising of the Chief Investment Office, Client Strategy Office, and Investment and Product Solution Office, through the CCI model, which directly align our macro health views with the client demand to build product and solutions and improve relationship manager service standards and client satisfaction, Noah international wealth management's product offering and services matrix provides high network clients with our four global account allocation schemes embedded in our technology infrastructure, significantly enhancing the ability of Noah's relationship managers to provide asset allocation advice and continuity of service |
| Our results for the first three quarters of 2023, which featured solid revenue growth driven by insurance product sales and robust expansion in our overseas business demonstrated how we're successfully leading client demand in both situations |
| Furthermore, our healthy financial position ensures we are well positioned to further expand with close to RMB5 billion in cash balance sheet, a healthy debt to asset ratio and zero interest bearing debt on the balance sheet |
| Meanwhile, revenues from overseas insurance, trust and other comprehensive services surged 381.8% year-on-year |
| That being said, we'll continue to strengthen our overseas alternative product offerings, including global primary market and hedge fund solutions to provide clients with more balanced solutions that can deliver long term return, while minimizing volatilities and risks |
| As the international wealth management team continues to mature, we're confident that we'll sustain our growth and expand our reach to serve a growing number of clients globally |
| In the third quarter, our top line continued to see robust year-over-year growth with net revenues reaching RMB750 million, close to 10% increase compared to the same period last year |
| The growing client demand for global asset allocation coupled with Noah's ongoing investments in channels, products and comprehensive services propelled overseas revenues to RMB1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 85.1% accounting for 40.1% of revenue, up from 24.3% in the previous year |
| In the long term, we're very confident that our diverse offerings and commitment to globalization will enable us to meet the needs of global client, investors and continue creating value for our shareholders |
| Looking ahead, with a robust balance sheet and nearly RMB5 billion in cash and cash equivalents, ample liquidity and the standardized product offering and AUA, we're well positioned to fuel future growth and execute our strategy as well as increased returns for shareholders |
| Our other balance sheet, ‘a clean AUA’ with no legacy private credit or residential real estate exposure has built us a solid reputation as trusted advisor to our clients which we're leveraging to drive our global expansion as demand for global asset allocation grows |
| On the comprehensive services front, we continue to see robust demand for wealth protection and inherited solutions from high net worth clients |
| Our close discussions revealed an encouraging evolution in the wealth management needs of Noah's high network clients |
| These factors give us confidence that Noah is ideally positioned to meet the ever evolving needs of Mandarin speaking high net worth individuals in the next phase of China's globalization |
| The overseas wealth management business contributed RMB784 million a year-on-year increase of 72.3% as it benefits from the growth in overseas transaction value and comprehensive services income |
| This has made insurance application a significantly more efficient experience for our clients, while enhancing our ability to provide high quality fulfillment services |
| The third quarter showcase our ability and the resilience to drive robust revenue growth and generate strong cash flow given a relatively quiet market environment |
| This enhances the client experience while generating new business leads within the fulfillment service process |
| In conclusion, as an independent wealth management institution, Noah's core competitive advantage stems from its profound client insights and strong track record |
| To sum up, we remain optimistic for the high net worth individual wealth management industry |
| We firmly believe that only by helping our clients thrive can we succeed as a business and thereby creating enduring value for our shareholders |
| From what we have seen for our first three stops with the high attendance, I believe the total creation of revenue or placement of financial products, we're pretty optimistic about what's going to come |
| Transaction values reached RMB22.3 billion in the Q3, representing a strong increase of 24% year-over-year and 21% quarter-over-quarter |
| That being said, our Silicon Valley team we're still able to achieve exits in this tough market, contributing to the performance based income for this year |
| We have seen that basically the maturity and sophistication of clients have increased, which is a good news for independent wealth managers like Noah |
| Going forward, we expect to increase the share of global investment products and foster the growth of overseas AUM |
| Statement |
|---|
| In terms of asset management, Gopher's total AUM was RMB154.9 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 0.9% driven by the continued excess of RMB private equity funds and decrease in NAV of some public market security products |
| Performance based income was RMB125 million in the first nine months of 2023, down 45% year-over-year |
| Non-GAAP profit for Q3 was RMB232 million, up 21.8% year-over-year and RMB785 million year-to-date, down 8.7% year-over-year due to a soft first quarter earlier this year |
| As of the end of the third quarter, annualized returns for active investment products was negative 1.6% with the volatility of 6% and the sharp ratio of negative 0.5% |
| Operating profit for third quarter was RMB250 million up 7.4% year-over-year and down 28% quarter-over-quarter |
| The number of active clients of quarter three was 9,489, down 58% year-over-year, primarily due to individual clients adopted a rather conservative approach towards RMB public securities product |
| The asset management segment contributed RMB582 million, a year-on-year decrease of 5.4% |
| As of the end of the third quarter, Q3, RMB AUM decreased by 5% year-on-year reaching RMB119.4 billion |
| This decline can be attributed to the relatively low valuation of assets resulting from a high yield environment |
| Recurring service fees, which are a key stabilizer in our revenue mix were RMB1.4 billion year-to-date, a slightly decrease of 3.2% year-over-year due to a decrease in our AUM as we continue to exit RMB investments |
| The domestic business contributed RMB1.5 billion and year-on-year decrease of 11.6%, accounting for 59.9% of the total net revenues |
| The domestic wealth management business contributed RMB1.1 billion, a slight year-on-year decrease of 0.2% |
| The total number of diamond and black card clients were 9,711, up 0.3% quarter-over-quarter and down 0.7% year-over-year rather flat |
| Third quarter of 2023 was categorized by significant volatility in public markets with the Shanghai Composite Index and Shenzhen Component Index falling by 4.1% and 9.4%, respectively |
| Potential risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to those outlined in our public filings with the SEC and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange |
| So if we do have increased revenue going forward on the domestic side, we'll probably see a higher subsidy, but if not, we'll see a little bit volatility in that |
| First, the gross increase in Gopher AUM was RMB4.7 billion in the third quarter, almost double that of the second quarter, but why did one time commissions from Gopher managed funds decline sharply to RMB32,000? That's my first question |
| That being said, transaction value during the quarter was not negatively impacted by this as our corporate and institutional clients continue to transact with us |
| While acknowledging the significant role of technology, we recognize that the human touch, trust and personalized relationship remains indefensible, particularly in meeting the complex needs of Noah's high net worth clients |
| Our compensation and operating expenses decreased by 15% quarter-over-quarter, but increased by 10% year-over-year, mainly due to the high phased effect created by COVID lockdown in 2022, which curtailed both marketing activity and business travel as well as the increase in international travel this year in support of our global expansion |
