enthusiastic responses from our clients. The number of the Group's 
professional investor clients has witnessed a tremendous increase of 125.0%

soared by approximately 4 times compared to last year. 
Aside from the rapid growth in the Company's financial results, the Group

On the other hand, the Company adopted the new HKFRS 9 (Hong Kong Financial 
Reporting Standards) accounting standards ahead of schedule as well as of 
its peers, under which its financial conditions can be presented in a more 
comprehensive way, and effectiveness of the risk management system can be 
seen more clearly. 
 
*Dr. Yim Fung, JP, Chairman and CEO of Guotai Junan International, said, 
"Guotai Junan International* has reaped fruitful results in the first half 
of 2017, with record high revenue and profit. The Company has obtained the 
leading credit ratings among peers, and managed to attract a number of high 
net worth clients. The Company's stable risk management system continued to 
provide a solid foundation of our business growth. In the second half of the 
year, even with uncertain factors such as increasing interest rate in the 
United States and global deleveraging trends, the inclusion of A shares to 
MSCI index and the establishment of stock and bond connect mechanism are 
still beneficial to the Company's business in the long run. We will grasp 
these favorable opportunities and assist the Mainland enterprises in 
overseas financing under different market environment, facilitating 
cross-border investment between the Mainland and overseas investors. We are 
confident in becoming a financial service provider and wealth management 
expert who aims at optimizing customer returns and providing tailor-made 
financial products and services."
