A User-centric Investment Ecosystem with Faster-than-fast Response Capability
Longbridge strives for breakthroughs in meeting unsatisfied demands in the local online brokerage market, hoping to inject more data and algorithm capabilities into the industry and impress the Hong Kong market as an online securities brokerage with the best technological and social sense.

At the same time, with users' experiences at heart, Longbridge has strived to create a user-centric ecosystem. In addition to providing users with an online trading platform with multi-market access and multi-tradable product options, Longbridge also pays attention to the decision-making needs of individual users in making transactions; hence, it has built a decision-making platform, pointing out to users an investment path that entails the whole process of "Discovery - Learning - Trading."

Apart from boasting products and R&D professionals from the world's top Internet giants, outstanding contributors and developers from open-source communities, core contributors to mainstream frameworks, and winners of algorithm competitions, Longbridge has offices at eight locations worldwide, such as Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Mainland China.

Fast in practice and application of cutting-edge engineering and technological ideas, the Company is capable of continuous and quick delivery. In just two years, it has secured more patents than most first-movers in the industry.

In terms of asset Discovery, Longbridge attaches great importance to identifying and distributing high-quality content. It employs natural language processing (NLP) technology to hierarchically grade content and make more accurate recommendations based on user interests, holdings, and topics followed. In the third quarter of 2021, Longbridge effectively released 1.37 million pieces of investment information. Longbridge also provides users with many functions, such as "Stock PK," "Stock Screener," and "Stocklist," to help them further discover assets.

In terms of asset Cognition, Longbridge provides users with comprehensive "fundamental" analysis and "supply chain" function on its individual stock "Overview" page. Employing professional investment analysis tools as well as analyzing and visualizing various financial indicators and industry rankings, it assists users in more easily recognizing and utilizing the fundamental indicators. Then, through its unique "supply chain" function, users can obtain information about the stock's upstream and downstream companies, competitors, and other information in the same way that professional investors obtain essential data, enabling them to gain further value in the discovery process. The function replaces the recommendation model in the past securities trading apps.

Social networking is an indispensable part of users' journey to understand individual stocks, which serves as one of Longbridge's unique competitive advantages. In addition to having a complete suite of innovative analysis tools, the App provides users with a high-quality investment discussion community platform and content.

In terms of asset Trading, Longbridge covers pre-market and post-market trading of U.S. stocks, as well as real-time deposits and withdrawals via all methods, including bank-securities transfer, eDDA, and FPS, which can significantly improve investment efficiency. Longbridge also provides smooth and flexible margin services, with real-time quota adjusted to 2.5 times leverage, surpassing that of the industry, as quickly as "T+0."

To date, Longbridge has completed nearly a hundred iterations of versions, involving thousands of features. At the same time, Longbridge uses proprietary binary protocols, incremental data transmission, dependable UDP transmission, aggregation of smart push, and other solutions to ensure real-time quotation updates reach first-class industry levels, as well as the fluency and stability required at the user end.

Although the online brokerage market has been growing for many years, there remains a significant unmet demand. Longbridge is confident that by thinking from users' perspectives and utilizing massive Internet data as a foundation, it can provide users with more in-depth references for making judgments and enhance their related capabilities. It considers that as the true baseline for an online brokerage to adhere to in this day and age.

At present, Longbridge hopes to build on its improved cloud computing and big data foundation to continue to provide customers with higher value investments and space for them to make sound judgments of investment trends, and thus accurate investment decisions.
