Question 1

Is Xinhu Futures beginner-friendly for new investors in the futures market?

Accepted Answer

Xinhu Futures offers specialized services targeted at various client groups, including natural persons, professional traders, and institutional investors. While it has a professional and comprehensive service system plus various innovative business models like "1+6" innovative value-added services, there is no explicit public disclosure that Xinhu Futures is specifically designed for beginners. Its focus is more on offering professional services and risk management solutions rather than beginner-level educational support. Hence, new investors should consider that Xinhu Futures mainly caters to a broad range of clients with more advanced and professional needs.

Question 2

What regulatory challenges has Xinhu Futures faced according to its IPO feedback from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC)?

Accepted Answer

Xinhu Futures received 38 detailed questions from the CSRC during its IPO review that focused on issues including the actual controller identification, compliance, and related party transactions. The regulator scrutinized stock pledges held by the controlling shareholder, potential legal risks from overdue debt repayments, and the stability of company control. Furthermore, Xinhu Futures was subject to former regulatory disciplinary actions such as a 3-month trading suspension for stock options brokerage and faced public allegations of falsifying transaction data by its subsidiary Xinhu Ruifeng. The company was required to clarify these matters and make disclosures about internal control deficiencies by the regulator.

Question 3

What is the main source of revenue for Xinhu Futures and how does market volatility impact its profitability?

Accepted Answer

The primary source of revenue for Xinhu Futures is futures brokerage business, which contributed the major portion of its income and profit during the reporting periods. However, this reliance also exposes the company to market risks, as fluctuations in the futures market significantly affect its earnings, putting it in a situation described as "looking at the sky to eat"—meaning heavily dependent on market conditions. Competition within the futures industry has also led to fierce price and commission battles, pressuring profit margins. Despite efforts to innovate and expand new business lines, the firm continues to depend on traditional brokerage for revenue.

Question 4

How does Xinhu Futures' affiliation with the "Xinhu Group" and the "Xinhu System" influence its market position?

Accepted Answer

Xinhu Futures is part of the broader "Xinhu System" financial empire controlled by the actual controller Huang Wei, who has a significant presence in securities, futures, insurance, and banking sectors through multiple listed companies and investments. This affiliation provides Xinhu Futures with strong capital backing and access to cross-sector financial resources. However, despite this extensive group support, Xinhu Futures ranks 22nd by net profit and 31st by futures business income among its industry peers, indicating that while it benefits from the large group's support, the company itself is not a market leader in the futures brokerage industry.

Question 5

What innovative business models and services does Xinhu Futures provide beyond traditional futures brokerage?

Accepted Answer

Xinhu Futures has developed an innovative "1+6" value-added business service model that revolves around futures brokerage as the base and six additional innovative services: international business, spot-futures arbitrage, over-the-counter options (including the "insurance + futures" model), technology-driven services, trading training for professional natural persons, and research and development. This holistic approach aims to meet diverse customer needs and create value via integrated services that help customers manage risks and improve profitability. These innovations are designed to reduce dependency on traditional brokerage fees and adapt to evolving market demands.
