To help investment banks fight for a role in the project, for clients of the asset management department, accepting Huaxing's investment will introduce not only investment institutions, but also capital experts. The initial clients of the wealth management business are defined as the new economic wealth group, which can be converted from the senior executives of investment bank clients.

1. China Renaissance Holdings Ltd. is about to launch the fourth phase of the New economy Fund from 2021 to 2022: benefiting from China Renaissance Holdings Ltd. 's good record of investment return, which is better than the fund-raising ability of the industry, we believe that Huaxing has the ability to complete the target of raising RMB 10 billion yuan and US $1 billion in four tranches of funds on schedule. In this way, the asset management scale of collecting management fees is expected to increase from 21.87 billion yuan at the end of 2020 to 36.8 billion to 41.8 billion yuan by the end of 2022, and the income from management fees is expected to double to 800 million yuan. 2.

Huaxing will gradually withdraw according to the judgment of the prospect of the project, and these benefits will be reflected in the profit statement in the next few years as a reservoir. We estimate that the profits released in 2021-2022 will be 100 million yuan and 250 million yuan respectively. 3. In 2020, Huaxing invested 1.597 billion yuan in its own fund and 771 million yuan in third-party funds, while the IRR of the former 43% was much higher than 17% of the latter. Huaxing will allocate more funds to its own PE in the future.
