In the fast-changing economic landscape, investment groups have become an important force in China’s capital market. As China continues to open up its financial industry, investment groups, represented by securities firms, fund management companies and private equity firms, are also undergoing transformation and actively exploring new development paths. Investment groups rooted in the real economy, such as Vanke Investment and Country Garden Investment, have also received increasing attention. Their strategic positioning in the new era and sustainable development capabilities are directly related to the healthy growth of China’s capital market.
Country Garden investment positioned itself as a mixed investment group
Country Garden Investment Holdings Company Limited is a subsidiary of Country Garden Group and one of the emerging mixed investment groups in China. It was established in 2017 and has expanded its business scope to securities, funds, futures, investment banking, consumer finance, insurance, trust, etc. With the support of the parent company Country Garden, it aims to build an open and win-win industrial investment ecosystem and help the parent company realize the integrated development of financing services and industrial operations. For investment groups born in real estate companies, how to leverage their own advantages, break development bottlenecks, implement differentiated competition strategies, and form core competitiveness will be the key to their growth amidst competition.
Vanke investment transformed into a technology investment group
In 2015, Vanke set up a 30 billion RMB technology investment fund, marking its official entry into the field of investment and technology finance. After years of cultivation, its total assets under investment management reached 170 billion RMB. Vanke is transforming from a traditional real estate developer to a technology and investment-driven mixed enterprise. It takes technology investment as the core driving force for the transformation, aims to connect technology innovation capabilities with investment and financing capabilities, and create a complete technology investment ecosystem. For traditional real estate companies seeking industrial transformation, choosing strategic emerging industries and leveraging their resource advantages to build professional investment platforms will be crucial to support their new development vision.
The synergistic development between investment business and real economy
The investment business is an effective supplement to the development strategy of real estate companies, and there is huge synergy between the two. On one hand, the investment platform can provide diverse financing support for the parent company’s business development, while on the other hand, the parent company’s real estate industry resources, brand influence and customer base can empower the investment business. However, real estate investment groups need to establish an open and shared philosophy, build strategic partnerships based on resource sharing and collaborative innovation, focus on serving the real economy, continuously strengthen risk prevention capabilities, and pursue healthy and sustainable development under the new situations.
Strategic positioning determines the future of investment groups
With the further Opening Up of China’s financial industry, the development space for investment groups will continue to expand. Whether rooted in traditional industries or emerging from the Internet, the core lies in how investment groups based on their resource advantages, strategic positioning, grasp the pulse of The Times, build core competitiveness, and achieve synergistic development with the real economy. Only by maintaining strategic resolve, improving the governance system, investing in technological innovation, and strengthening risk management capabilities can investment groups achieve sustainable growth in the new era.
The strategic development direction of investment groups has increasingly become the focus of the market. Leveraging the resource advantages of traditional enterprises to empower investment business development, building an open and win-win industrial ecosystem, empowering technological innovation, and contributing to the high-quality development of China’s real economy will be the future path for investment groups to create more value.
