Lending and Other Businesses

The Company's lending business utilizes an advanced risk-management system to assess and facilitate short-term loans to high quality borrowers,often secured with collateral. The total amount of loans originated during the third quarter of 2019 was RMB1.3 billion,compared with RMB4.0 billion in the corresponding period of 2018 as the Company reduced loan origination in response to market changes.

Mr. Yi Zhao,Group President of Noah,said,"In response to the economic environment and our transformation strategy,we are no longer offering single-counterparty credit products to our clients,which is reflected in the decline of the credit product transaction value in the third quarter. Instead,we are focusing on satisfying our clients' fixed income investment needs with public securities products such as standardized NAV-based bond funds,mutual funds,etc. We believe the distribution of these new products will continue to ramp up and drive our transaction value growth in the future. Despite structural changes in our product mix,we still achieved resilient financial results. Moreover,we believe client confidence is gradually recovering and our standardized products will meet our clients' expectations. Looking ahead,in the face of a rapidly changing environment,Noah will continue to focus on implementing product transformation,expanding its overseas business and building up its comprehensive portfolio of services,in order to further enhance our financial platform to fully service high net worth clients."
