Investment industry “Normandy moment”: Jiufang Zhitou abandons traditional style of play, All in AI+ quantification

On the evening of September 9, the stage of Shanghai Jiufangyun Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (“Jiufang Smart Investment”), a subsidiary of Jiufang Smart Investment Holdings (9636), was painted in a cool blue color — the two letters “AI” on the giant LED screen suspended in three-dimensional form on a flowing data matrix. The white round table and leather seats were mirrored by lights to support a double ceremony between the technology press conference and the investor conference.

Chen Wenbin, founder, chairman of the board of directors and CEO of Jiufang Smart Investment Holdings, Zhang Peihong, deputy general manager of the Jiufang Smart Investment Group, Wang Bing, senior director of the Artificial Intelligence Center, Qiu Yingjun, director of the Financial Engineering Department, and Cheng Wei, general manager of Jiufang Smart Investment and director of the Jiufang Financial Research Institute, attended.

Jiufang Smart Investment is moving its strategic focus from traditional investment services to a platform-based stage driven by smart entities and quantifying equal rights.

Direct access to product launch site: AI continues throughout, management is determined to reform

The press conference was filled with a sense of a fintech atmosphere. The large screen took turns demonstrating the development history of the securities investment industry, self-developed supercomputing clusters, and quantitative factor library architectures. The site also completed demonstrations of the three core functions of “Stock Channel Smart Aviation”. Guests from off-stage institutions, investors, and hundreds of thousands of online viewers witnessed the debut of investment 4.0 AI native era products.

Chen Wenbin, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Jiufang Smart Investment Holdings, delivered a speech

In his opening speech, Chen Wenbin made a profound judgment: “There are only two types of companies in the future, AI-driven companies, or companies disrupted by AI. Our attitude is not to let AI be an aid, but to let it take over the core productivity of the product.” In the strategic narrative of Jiufang Smart Investment, “investment and research+technology” has been upgraded from “two-wheel drive” in the past to “technology-driven investment and research.”

As an iterative upgrade of Stock Channel Pilot, Stock Channel Intelligent Aviation integrates the three unique capabilities of Jiufang Lingxi, Gold Rush Plus, and diversified quantitative ETF strategies. Looking at the closed loop of commerce, two of the three major functions of stock channel intelligent aviation are the main quantitative lines — gold mining refers to selecting stocks at the right time, and the main configuration of diversified quantitative ETFs; although Lingxi is an AI investment and research assistant, its account diagnosis, transfer, and skill transfer also rely on quantitative data.

In the demonstration session, Jiufang Lingxi showed three sets of strategies for account physical examination, active promotion of position changes, and one-click application of 100 investment and research skills; Gold Rush PLUS relies on a multi-factor engine with hundreds of volume, price, and emotional characteristics to dynamically output star signals, covering trading scenarios such as stock selection, timing, and intraday T; the diversified quantitative ETF strategy demonstrates balance of offense and defense, multi-asset rotation, and industry enterprising strategies, which rely on backtesting and risk control modules to output configurable reference plans that can be implemented for ordinary individuals. Open to investors.

Chen Wenbin positioned “stock road intelligence” under a global AI strategy. He revealed that in the first half of the year, Jiufang Smart Investment Holdings invested about 170 million yuan in R&D, an increase of 13.7% over the previous year, and a R&D team of 657 people; the second half of the year will focus on four lines of global AI technology, diversified product upgrades, overseas business, and global operation. AI will move from instrumentalization to an intelligent ecosystem.

Cheng Wei added that Jiufang Smart Investment has formed a multi-layer matrix of VIP products such as stock channel leaders and super investors, medium value products such as decision makers, and inclusive terminals such as Jiuyu Shares and AI stock machines; VIP products continue to iterate around “AI+ quantification,” and research research and quantitative factors directly feed back to the C-side to avoid the “content, model to model.”

Research is the brain, quantification technology is the wing

If you break down this press conference to the product level, you'll see a clear three-tier structure: the bottom layer is the Jiufang Finance Research Institute, the middle level is AI and quantitative capabilities, and the top level is a C-end VIP product. The research institute does not play the role of a “content factory”, but rather the “investment and research brain” of the entire product matrix.

The real value of the Jiufang Financial Research Institute is not in size, but in “training data” — every live broadcast, every survey, and every in-depth analysis of individual stocks, providing high-quality samples for AI model iterations. This forms a migration path from “manual research” to “AI investment research”: using models to replace part of the investment and research work, expanding the ability to “only serve 50 to 100 targets of in-depth research in a year” to 5,000 or more.

“Jiufang Lingxi”, which Wang Bing is responsible for, proposed a system-level solution to the three major pain points of the investment industry — model illusion, information overload, and service homogenization. Its core is to establish an independent “user data sandbox” for each investor: AI actively learns users' positions, styles, and risk preferences, gradually settles into an “investment file”, and then actively promotes personalized content based on this, rather than a “one-size-fits-all” mass distribution. The bottom layer is Jiufang's own large model superimposed on a general model, and its technical undertone is supported by many authoritative achievements and multiple summit papers. “Jiufang Lingxi” has joined Tencent Workbuddy and Alibaba Qianwen Smart.

Qiu Yingjun, Director of Financial Engineering Department of Jiufang Smart Investment shares the theme

The two products Qiu Yingjun is responsible for represent the direction of “quantifying equal rights.” “AI Gold Digger Plus” is a tool that solves traditional problems, and integrates financial behavior, volume-price relationships, and market sentiment to construct a multi-factor model, covering the three scenarios of stock selection, timing, and T; “Diversified Quantitative ETF” provides three types of strategies: “offensive and defensive balance, multiple assets, and industry progress”.

The two teams themselves are footnotes to Jiufangzhi's determination to invest in “AI native” — the AI Center team has more than 40 people, accounting for more than 70% of the master's degree students; the Financial Engineering Department team also accounts for more than 70% of the master's degree students, and the members have practical experience in global quantitative institutions. Tencent and Ali are ecological partners of Jiufang Smart Investment, but the underlying quantitative supercomputing matrices, factor banks, and AI models are all built independently by the company — the four-layer closed loop of “infrastructure, team, algorithm, and execution” forms a moat for engineering capabilities.

“The research center is at the front end, AI quantification is at the middle end, and VIP products are at the terminal” — this is the new triangle drawn by Jiufang Smart Investment for “Investment 4.0.”

2026 Interim Results Containing Gold: High-end VIP Products Become Drivers of Transformation

The 2026 mid-term performance exchange meeting was held at the same time as the new product launch. Although the company did not separately disclose the “share of VIP revenue with AI quantification”, multiple clues can cross-verify the improvement in monetization quality: first, the VIP refund rate has declined, indicating that products with high unit prices and content features are less likely to be refunded; second, Decision Master launched the “Extreme Edition”, adding AI identification of ETFs quantification and position holding. The AI service has covered about 55% of active users; third, the AI service has covered about 55% of active users; third, Stock Channel Intelligent Aviation has packaged Lingxi Black Gold, Gold Digger PLUS, and multiple ETFs into the high-end VIP system. The stock market leads the single product further Increase the price and expand the capacity.

According to the press conference, Stock Channel Intelligent Aviation integrates modules such as Stock Channel Pilot, Lingxi, Gold Rush PLUS, and Diversified ETF. The total value of the single split is about 50,000 yuan, and the launch package price is 32,800 yuan, which is only 3,000 yuan higher than the previous generation of Stock Channel Pilot of 29,800 yuan, but the depth of the quantitative function has improved markedly.

Back at the scene, at the end of the press conference, the “Stock Road Smart Aviation” logo was displayed. Chen Wenbin and external guests such as Zhang Peihong, Wang Bing, Qiu Yingjun, and external guests such as Xinhua Credit, Alibaba Cloud, and Broker Research jointly pressed the release. For Jiufang, this product is more than just a VIP upgrade: research provides perception, quantification provides probability, AI provides companionship, and licensed investors provide boundaries of responsibility.

The Shanghai press conference on September 9 was the starting point for “AI+ quantification” from the investment period to the harvest period. At the point where securities investment is moving from a sea of live streaming to smart competition, whether Jiufang Smart Investment can use the stock channel Intelligent Aviation to re-strengthen Gaoke VIP will determine the next stage of its valuation logic is to switch from an “investment service provider” to an “intelligent investment and research platform.”
