Gf Securities Co.,Ltd. (ASX: 000776) made its presence known as a collaborative supporting unit at the 15th China (Guangzhou) International Financial Transaction & Expo, which commenced on June 3. This marks the 15th consecutive year the firm has participated in the event.
The company presented a group exhibition alongside its six wholly-owned subsidiaries, its controlling subsidiary GF Fund Management, and its associate company E Fund Management Group. Staying true to its "New Professionalism" brand philosophy, the display focused intently on the development priorities for the financial sector, highlighting the latest advancements in applying AI and technological innovation to enhance financial services.
AI and Digital Finance Reshaping the Service Ecosystem
At the expo, the firm's theme centered on the integration of AI with finance. Through various mediums including graphics, videos, and interactive experiences, it comprehensively demonstrated the deep application and innovative practices of its large AI models across four core business areas: wealth management, investment research, investment banking, and institutional services.
In wealth management, the Tianji Zhirong AI Cockpit integrates investment advisory services, product analysis, and business connection to reshape client service models. For investment research, the "GF Research - Smart Data" platform is shifting the research paradigm from human-driven to human-machine collaboration.
This platform encapsulates over two decades of the firm's research, featuring a repository of 88,000 selected research reports, more than 90,000 core industry indicators, and over 800 thematic industry chain maps, transforming analysts' professional methodologies into reusable research capabilities.
In investment banking, the firm has pioneered the "IB AI Wenquxing" large model, which covers the entire process from deal sourcing and execution to underwriting and continuous supervision, effectively enhancing operational quality and efficiency.
For institutional services, the "GF Zhihui" platform offers over 80 functional modules covering scenarios such as capital management, investment, trading, research, financing, equity administration, and custody operations.
Additionally, the "GF Huiying T0" tool, which relies on AI quantitative models to capture intraday price differentials, has become a favored tool for trading-oriented clients.
An interactive zone at the booth allowed visitors to experience smart services on the Etoujin App, such as "AI Lens," "ETF Base Camp," and "i Watchlist." These features integrate conversational AI for analysis and decision support, utilize generative AI to address investment challenges, and offer customizable, user-friendly monitoring functions.
Beyond the technological exhibits, the booth featured a "Senior Investment Advisor Face-to-Face" session for in-depth interaction with the public on wealth management and investor education, alongside engaging games and quizzes to make financial knowledge more accessible.
Comprehensive M&A Services Facilitating Industrial Upgrading
Leveraging its role as a capital market intermediary, the firm utilizes mergers and acquisitions as a key instrument to provide enterprises with full-chain services including target screening, deal facilitation, and transaction structuring.
This supports industrial consolidation and transformation, fostering a positive cycle between technology, industry, and capital. By the end of 2025, the company had provided M&A services to 70 enterprises in Guangdong across sectors like smart home appliances, light industry manufacturing, AI and the digital economy, and modern agriculture.
In April 2026, acting as financial advisor to the acquirer, the firm facilitated Tanji Yuanqing's successful acquisition of controlling rights in the listed company Zhenai Meijia, a transaction valued at 1.718 billion yuan.
The firm is also a co-founder of the "Guangdong Capital Market M&A and Restructuring Alliance" and has organized multiple industry forums focusing on cutting-edge fields such as AI, nuclear energy, and life sciences.
In early 2026, drawing on the expertise of its industrial research institute, the firm successfully facilitated A-round lead investment by Wenrun Investment into the biocatalysis enterprise Huarong Biotech.
Furthermore, during two special roadshows for pre-IPO tech enterprises organized by Guangzhou's financial and development reform authorities, the company provided capital connection support for ten companies, including Mingluo Equipment and Hongji Chuangneng, helping to streamline their financing channels.
Looking ahead, the firm stated it will remain committed to serving the real economy as its fundamental purpose. Guided by the principle of high-quality development and its "New Professionalism" ethos, it will continue to deepen the innovative application of AI technology within financial services.
The company aims to contribute its professional expertise to support Guangdong's integrated development of industry and commerce, thereby adding momentum to the high-quality growth of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
