On October 29, 2012, Futu obtained the Type 1 License for Securities Dealing issued by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong, and has since carried out online brokerage business as a licensed brokerage firm.
Bearing in mind our founding vision of "adhere to fully compliant operation and transform the investing experience with technologies", we determined that October 29th is Futu's birthday.
In the blink of an eye, Futu turns 9 years old.
Every day for 9 years, Futu has been making efforts to make investing easier and not alone.
Every day for 9 years, hundreds of thousands of users from all across the globe gather in Futu's online Community to share trading insights and their ups and downs along the investment journey.
More and more users and investors have joined our Community. Meanwhile, we have made a remarkable progress in "making investment easier and not lonely".
Not long ago, we sent an invitation to our users, hoping that they may share with us their wonderful moments in using our products or services.
During the submission period, we received numerous stories.
Each user has a distinct background and their stories are all unique. They come from different regions and time zones, and have various jobs and hobbies; they are at different stages of life with distinct social roles; and they all have unique life and investment experiences as well as their own understanding of and insights into financial management...
But at the same time, they have a lot in common. They all love life and enjoy challenges; they do not flinch in the face of uncertainties; they are full of curiosity and the courage to explore; and they are good at learning, eager in improving themselves, and passionate about sharing...
On the 9th birthday, we invited 9 users from all over the world to share their Futu stories.
