Huatai Securities showcased its AI-driven financial solutions at the just-concluded 19th Asian Financial Forum (AFF) in Hong Kong, drawing attention with its AI-native trading app "AI Zhangle" and strategic insights on wealth management and development of low-altitude economy.

Huatai’s dedicated booth featured its trading app "AI Zhanglei 1.0", with three core tools: "Early Morning Briefing", which aggregates and interprets market insights; "Key Signal Alerts", which tracks critical market movements, and “Task Assistant", which executes AI-optimized trades.
This shift from "function-searching" to "intent-driven" interaction marks a paradigm leap in fintech, integrating proprietary research databases and large-language models (LLMs) for investment logic optimization.
Leadership voices: AI, low-altitude economy & GoGlobal
Levin Wang, Chairman of Huatai Securities's Private Wealth Management Committee and CEO of Huatai Financial Holdings (Hong Kong) Ltd, emphasized AI’s transformative role in China’s massive wealth management sector.
AI lowers barriers to personalized services, enabling scalable “human-AI co-advisory” models for ultra-high-net-worth clients, he said during the panel discussion on asset and wealth management.
Wang Xing, chief analyst for communications, highlighted low-altitude economy opportunities. China’s advanced EV and electronics supply chains position it to lead global low-altitude mobility. Key enablers include airspace deregulation and cost-effective eVTOLs, he noted at the thematic workshop “Connecting the Skies: Hong Kong’s Pivotal Role in the GBA Low-altitude Economy.”
Huatai reiterated its commitment to supporting Chinese enterprises’ international expansion. Managing Director Chen Shanshan attended the “AFF Partner Supporting GoGobal” Pledging Ceremony, aligning with Hong Kong’s role as a cross-border capital hub.
