Wang said the latest strategic investment will yield a win-win outcome. The parent company of Gopher Asset – Noah Financial Wealth Management – is China's leading wealth management organization, providing services for high net worth individuals. By contrast, Gopher Asset is more focused on asset allocation and absolute return on investment. The technology and services of Fumi will help complete Noah Financial's ecosystem, and vice versa.
