It also plans to develop overseas and cross-border businesses and carry out proper M&A, propelling its businesses to develop in an all-around way.
JZ Securites will give up the conventional practices of taking the sales department as the primary operating ground. Instead, it will turn to the Internet and introduce two service systems integrating off-line and on-line services. By getting rid of the old practices and ushering in the new one, JZ Securities will contribute to JD Capital’s strategic goal of being an integrated asset management group.
JZ Capital has launched its market making business on the NEEQ market. Its asset management product (Jiuzhou Kaiyuan NEEQ Collective Asset Management Portfolio I) is available through preselling. JZ Securities’ moves in Internet securities field can also be expected.
