Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 84
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.
We are an exempted company incorporated under the Companies Act. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the U.S. courts against our directors or officers. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a federal court of the United States. We have been advised by Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the U.S. or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the U.S. or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere. As a result of all of the above, shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of our Board or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2An active trading market for our ordinary shares may not be sustained and our share price may be volatile such that you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the public offering price.
It is possible that an active trading market for our ordinary shares will not be sustained. If an active trading market for our ordinary shares is not sustained, the liquidity of our ordinary shares, your ability to sell your ordinary shares when desired and the prices you may obtain for your ordinary shares may be adversely affected. The market price of our ordinary shares could vary significantly as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. If the market price of our ordinary shares declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your ordinary shares at or above your purchase price, if at all, and you could lose a substantial part or all of your investment in our ordinary shares. The following factors could affect our share price: - our financial performance;- quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as net sales and profitability;- the public reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;- strategic actions by our competitors;- changes in net sales or earnings estimates, or changes in recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage, by equity research analysts;- speculation in the press or investment community;- publication of research reports about us or the investment management industry, or the failure of securities analysts to cover our ordinary shares;- sales of our ordinary shares by us or other shareholders, or the perception that such sales may occur;- changes in accounting principles, policies, guidance, interpretations or standards;- additions or departures of key management personnel;- actions by our shareholders;- general market and economic conditions;- adverse publicity about the investment management industry generally, or particular scandals, specifically;- domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance; and - the realization of any risks described under this "Risk Factors" section. Broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, may negatively impact the market price of our ordinary shares. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Substantial sales of our ordinary shares by our shareholders could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline.
Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares into the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline. We are unable to predict the timing or effect of such sales on the market price of our ordinary shares. At December 31, 2025, we have a total of 141,158,026 ordinary shares outstanding. All of the ordinary shares held by our existing shareholders may also be sold in the public market in the future, subject to the restrictions under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and applicable lock-up agreements. Furthermore, we may also issue additional ordinary shares or convertible securities in future public offerings or as consideration for future acquisitions. We also expect to continue to grant equity awards under our equity incentive plans. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our ordinary shares or securities convertible into ordinary shares or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our ordinary shares will have on the market price of our ordinary shares. The issuance by us of additional ordinary shares or securities convertible into our ordinary shares would dilute your ownership of us and sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares (including shares issued in connection with an acquisition), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of our ordinary shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Conflicts of interest may arise because the Chairperson of our Board holds a management and board position with JS Global.
Mr. Wang, the Chairperson of our Board, is also the Chairman, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of JS Global. Mr. Hui and Mr. Warner, who joined our Board in connection with the separation and distribution, previously served as members of the JS Global Board. The interests of these directors in JS Global and us could create, or appear to create, conflicts of interest with respect to decisions involving both us and JS Global that could have different implications for JS Global and us. These decisions could, for example, relate to: - disagreement over corporate opportunities;- competition between us and JS Global;- employee retention or recruiting;- our dividend policy; and - the services and arrangements from which we benefit as a result of our relationship with JS Global. Conflicts of interest could also arise if we enter into any new commercial arrangements with JS Global in the future, or if JS Global decides to compete with us in any of our markets. The presence of directors or officers of entities affiliated with JS Global on our Board could create, or appear to create, conflicts of interest and conflicts in allocating their time with respect to matters involving both us and any one of them, or involving us and JS Global, that could have different implications for any of these entities than they do for us. We cannot assure you that our memorandum and articles of association (the "Memorandum and Articles of Association"), policies and procedures will adequately address potential conflicts of interest or that potential conflicts of interest will be resolved in our favor or that we will be able to take advantage of corporate opportunities presented to individuals who are directors of both us and entities affiliated with JS Global. As a result, we may be precluded from pursuing certain advantageous transactions or growth initiatives.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Mr. Wang is a significant shareholder and has influence over matters outside the ordinary course of our business requiring a shareholder vote, which may limit your ability to influence our actions.
As of February 19, 2026, Mr. Wang, the Chairperson of our Board, controls approximately 38.6% of the voting power of our outstanding share capital. As long as Mr. Wang continues to control a significant portion of the voting power of our outstanding shares, he will generally be able to exert significant influence on corporate activities, subject to applicable laws, including, among other things: - the composition of our Board and through our Board, decision-making with respect to our policies and the appointment and removal of corporate officers;- determinations with respect to mergers, business combinations or dispositions of assets; and - the adoption of amendments to our Memorandum and Articles of Association. In addition, the concentration of Mr. Wang's ownership could discourage others from making tender offers, which could prevent holders from receiving a premium for their ordinary shares. Furthermore, our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that Mr. Wang, so long as he and/or his affiliates (as defined in our Memorandum and Articles of Association) continue to remain beneficial owners (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of at least 30.0% of our share capital, shall have the right to appoint a director and that director will serve as the Chairperson of our Board. Should no such director be appointed, the Chairperson of our Board shall be decided by a majority of the directors then in office. Because Mr. Wang's interests may differ from, or conflict with, ours or from those of our other shareholders, actions that Mr. Wang takes with respect to us, as our significant shareholder, may not be favorable to us or our other shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6Our Memorandum and Articles of Association, as well as Cayman Law, contain provisions that could discourage acquisition bids or merger proposals, which may adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.
Our Memorandum and Articles of Association authorize our Board to issue one or more classes or series of preferred shares, the terms of which may be established and the shares of which may be issued without shareholder approval, and which may include super voting, special approval, dividend, repurchase rights, liquidation preferences or other rights or preferences superior to the rights of the holders of ordinary shares. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred shares could adversely impact the value of our ordinary shares. Furthermore, if our Board elects to issue preferred shares it could be more difficult for a third party to acquire us. For example, our Board may grant holders of preferred shares the right to elect some number of our directors in all events or upon the occurrence of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Under Cayman Islands law, our Board may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under the Memorandum and Articles of Association for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company and for a proper purpose. In addition, some provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of Association could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if the change of control would be beneficial to our shareholders, including: - establishing advance notice provisions with regard to shareholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for appointment as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our shareholders;- providing that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our Board;- providing that all vacancies in our Board may, except as otherwise be required, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;- providing that our Memorandum and Articles of Association may be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our then outstanding voting shares;- limitations on the ability of shareholders to call extraordinary general meetings; and - limitations on the ability of shareholders to act by written consent.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7Our Memorandum and Articles of Association designate the courts of the Cayman Islands as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.
Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the courts of the Cayman Islands ("Cayman Courts") will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: - any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf;- any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary or other duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees or our shareholders;- any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies Act or our Memorandum and Articles of Association; or - any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee of ours that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine (as such concept is recognized under the laws of the United States). Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws of the United States, including those arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our share capital will be deemed to have notice of, and consented to, the provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of Association described in the preceding sentence. This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and such persons. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of Association inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
