At the "FUTU Investment Expo" held on March 21st at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai, FUTU Securities officially announced its integration with DeepSeek-R1 and launched a series of upgraded artificial intelligence (AI) product features. The expo, themed "Intelligent" Investing, attracted significant attention from retail investors.
Li Hua, founder and chairman of FUTU Securities, stated at the expo that the newly launched NiuNiu AI will provide investors with more flexible services. Unlike the previous unidirectional "AI Stock Interpretation," NiuNiu AI can handle complex queries, acting as an intelligent assistant for investors, ready to support their investment decisions. New investors facing overwhelming information can quickly obtain precise stock analysis information by interacting with NiuNiu AI. In the future, NiuNiu AI will even be able to screen suitable investment targets from thousands of securities based on user needs.
In addition to NiuNiu AI, FUTU also introduced new features including the "Opportunities" smart selection investment theme page, options strategies, and algorithmic trading. For advanced investors, FUTU will provide AI Algorithmic Trading (AI Algo Trading), helping retail investors conduct quantitative trading with lower costs and barriers. Users can achieve automated trading without constant market monitoring.
Li Hua emphasized that building a valuable investment AI model requires high-quality post-training. FUTU will not only use publicly available external data but also combine its own rich data resources, including market data, fundamental information, capital flows, and macroeconomic data, for algorithm training to enhance NiuNiu AI's reasoning capabilities. Simultaneously, the data cited by NiuNiu AI will undergo rigorous screening to ensure information authenticity and reduce the occurrence of "AI hallucinations."
Financially, FUTU recently released its 2024 financial report, showing Q4 total revenue of HK$4.433 billion (approximately US$571 million), an 86.8% year-on-year increase. During this period, the registered user base of the FUTU NiuNiu and moomoo applications reached 25.15 million, a 16% year-on-year increase. Li Hua also mentioned that FUTU prioritizes product strength and user needs in its internationalization strategy, striving to overcome localization challenges.
