On March 27, Industrial Bank Co.,Ltd. held its 2025 performance briefing. Looking ahead to the future of investment and trading, Vice President Zhang Ting stated that the bank aims to continuously improve capital returns and enhance overall yields. He indicated that the bank intends to address the momentum for sustainable growth by restructuring its FICC system and further enhancing systematic development, with the goal of building an integrated investment and trading system that combines on- and off-balance sheet activities, proprietary and client business, and domestic and international operations. The work will focus on three main areas: first, building a professional investment research system; second, creating an agile trading system; and third, establishing an efficient digital system.
First is the development of an investment research system. The next step involves continuously improving the decision-making mechanisms in the investment and trading field, integrating macro-industry analysis, market risk, and data. The bank plans to establish a diversified investment research system covering fixed income, foreign exchange, commodities, equities, and derivatives, achieving integrated operation from research and decision-making to execution and review, to better seize various business opportunities in complex markets.
Second is the creation of an agile trading system. The bank maintains that in a low-interest-rate, low-volatility environment, trading capability is the key determinant of investment profitability. Moving forward, it will persistently shift from an allocation-focused approach to multi-asset, multi-strategy operations, adhering to a direction that combines core positioning with tactical adjustments. The goal is to build a diversified product system covering fixed income, foreign exchange, precious metals, derivatives, and more, while strengthening coverage across major global market trading hours, to continuously consolidate its leading advantage in trading across all factors, all markets, and all products.
Third is the establishment of an efficient digital system. Digital technology, particularly the application of AI, is a core driver for enhancing pricing accuracy, strengthening risk control capabilities, optimizing execution efficiency, and achieving excess returns in investment and trading businesses. The next step will involve continuously strengthening practical applications in areas such as intelligent trading, intelligent investment research, intelligent pricing, intelligent client services, and intelligent risk control, with the aim of building a new digital engine for the investment and trading sector.
