    Noah’s business has grown substantially since the inception in 2005. Noah’s coverage network increased from six relationship managers in one city to over 450 relationship managers in 57 branch offices as of December 31, 2012.

    Noah’s branch offices cover China's most economically developed regions where the high net worth population is concentrated, including the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the Bohai Rim.

    The number of Noah’s registered clients, which include registered individual clients, registered enterprise clients and wholesale clients which have entered into cooperation agreements with us, has grown from 930 in 2005 to 40,305 as of December 31, 2012. We have distributed over RMB72.4 billion (US$11.1 billion) worth of wealth management products in aggregate since 2005.

    Based on the philosophy of being a highly selective “boutique” wealth management product distributor, we perform in-depth due diligence on and on-going review of products we distribute as well as work closely with product providers to play an active role in the product designing process. As a client-centric wealth management company, Noah delivers a continuum of value-added services before, during and after distribution of wealth management products. These services include financial planning, product analysis and recommendation, product and market updates and investor education.

    The “mass affluent” or high net worth population in China is experiencing explosive growth.  The high net worth population is expected to double over the next five years.

    In emerging markets such as India, China and Brazil, wealth management companies have an opportunity to play a key role in the development of the industry.  Companies that are able to offer a high level of customized service, a wide array of sophisticated products, as well as technological innovation will be able to succeed as the market continues to become more sophisticated.
