What Hao Tian International Financial Holdings Ltd. does

Hao Tian International Financial Holdings Ltd. (昊天國際金融控股有限公司) is a Hong Kong-based diversified financial services company established in 2016 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hao Tian International Construction Investment Group Limited (1341.HK). The company is licensed by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for Type 1 Securities Dealing (ABQ901), Type 2 Futures Contracts (BHH235), and Asset Management (BHP076), and additionally holds a Money Lender License (1901/2017). It serves institutional investors, corporate clients, high-net-worth individuals, and retail investors across Hong Kong, mainland China, and US markets, delivering services through four operating pillars: securities brokerage, asset management and private wealth management, credit and financing, and research and analysis.

The company's product portfolio spans securities trading in Hong Kong and US stocks with margin financing and IPO subscription (Hao Tian International Securities 昊天國際證券), discretionary cross-asset investment management (Hao Tian Asset Management 昊天資產管理), bespoke wealth management for HNW clients (Hao Tian Premier 昊天尊貴), and property/personal lending plus stock financing (Hao Tian Finance 昊天財經). Clients access services through proprietary platforms including the ET TRADE web-based securities terminal, the SpeedStation (交易速) mobile app with dual authentication and fingerprint login, and historically the SP TRADER / Sharp Point futures terminal — though the futures and options business was suspended in March 2019 and fully terminated effective October 31, 2022. The architecture is a platform-plus-services model where trading infrastructure supports multiple service lines under unified branding, complemented by a financial education initiative (HT College of Finance 昊天財經學苑).

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: securities brokerage commissions, margin financing interest at Prime Rate + 4% (HK$ interest regulated and tied to Bank of China Hong Kong Prime), asset management and wealth management fees, and transaction-based loan origination fees on property and personal loans. Distribution operates via direct office service in Wan Chai and Kowloon, customer service hotlines covering Hong Kong and mainland China, self-service online trading platforms, email marketing, and a WeChat official account. The company is privately held, with no public listing and no disclosed headcount beyond 14 employees — a footprint that, combined with the 2022 exit from futures, signals a focused rather than scaled operating posture.
