What East Money Information does

Operator of China's leading financial-data and stock-information portal, plus an online securities brokerage and fund platform.

It owns its own securities brokerage, which gives it the full customer relationship.

In one line: A Chinese Bloomberg-meets-Robinhood for retail investors.
