Four.
Our product selection system, we do due diligence on the asset managers.
And their track record of historical performance right the strategies there.
The risk control and so long.
And then for for real estate linked projects that you asked we do due diligence on the underlying assets as well.
Then we have then a two tiered.
Risk management system REIT first selected products will go through our investment selection Subcommittee and then and then our management Committee, which is comprised.
<unk> of our senior management.
We are very very selective in our product selection right. So for example in the privately right.
Securities product categories.
We focus on the top 100 asset managers from over 10000 managers in China.
Furthermore, we do <unk> and risk appetite screening on our clients as well.
To ensure that not just the knot.
Not just quality products are being selected through our product selection funnel right, but the REIT products are sold to the REIT clients in the right way.
And then during the lifecycle of the product.
Post investment the objective is to maximize transparency for our clients.
So we proactively help our clients review their portfolios attract any updates on their investments.
Like any potential risks, if we detect and concerns.
In particular for real estate linked products, we would monitor the financials of the underlying projects and help our clients access right.
Asset managers or or do regular site visits or.
Or access the management if needed.
We believe that this transparency enhancement measures can actually help our clients better understand the performance of their investments and the risk control measures that are built into the products.

So first for our most demanding ultra high net worth clients, we leverage our EAM external asset manager a platform in Hong Kong REIT to provide highly tailored portfolio management solutions.
So for example, we are providing custody and monetization solutions for entrepreneurs, who recently had liquidity events like Ipos and company sales.
And then for our core high net worth clients, we are offering and an offering and expanding our range of payment funds that invest in select sectors and thematic strategies.
And then for the even larger segments of affluent clients. We are exploring the potential use of a robo advisory technology platform to potentially tap into this.
This high growth client base.
And then in addition.
We are also very active in the offshore private markets.
Hoping clients pursue opportunities opportunistic transactions like secondary secondary blocks direct investments private credit and so on.
And then last but not least we also provide insights content advisory services to our clients. So for example research from our in House research team or wealth planning advisory. That's that is delivered by our high win well fiduciary services, Hong Kong limited and these.

Keith I'll Kokoda publicly yet.
Yes, so thank you for the for.
For the question. So we have risk management processes in place on both the product side as well as declines side and I'll explain more.
So first of all right for all of our new new products right. They would go through our rigorous.
<unk> collection system, right and then and then our risk management system.
Four.
Our product selection system, we do due diligence on the asset managers.
And their track record of historical performance right their strategies.
The risk control and so long.
And then for real estate linked projects that you asked we do due diligence on the underlying assets as well.
Then we have then a two tiered.
Risk management system REIT first selected products will go through our investment selection Subcommittee and then and then our management Committee, which is comprised.
<unk> of our senior management.
We are very very selective in our product selection right. So for example in the privately right.
Securities product categories.
We focus on the top 100 asset managers from over 10000 managers in China.
Furthermore, we do <unk> and risk appetite screening on our clients as well.
To ensure that not just the knot.
Not just quality products are being selected through our product selection funnel right, but the REIT products are sold to the REIT clients in the right way.
And then during the lifecycle of the product.
Post investment the objective.
Is to maximize transparency for our clients.
So we proactively help our clients review their portfolios attract any updates on the investments of flag any potential risks, if we detect and concerns.
In particular for real estate linked product, we would monitor the financials of the underlying projects and.
And help our clients access right the asset managers.
Or do regular site visits or.
Access the management if needed we believe that this transparency enhancement measures can actually help our clients better understand the performance of their investments and the risk control measures that are built into the products.

Q4.
Yeah. Thank you for the question so in the offshore space our growth strategy is really a what we call a multi tiered multi multi segment strategy.
So first for our most demanding ultra high net worth clients, we leverage our external asset manager platform in Hong Kong REIT to provide highly tailored portfolio management solutions. So for example, we are providing custody and monetization. So we.
<unk> for entrepreneurs, who recently had liquidity events like Ipos and company sales.
And then for our core high net worth clients, we are offering and offering and expanding our range of payment funds that invest in select sectors and thematic strategies.
And then for the even larger segments of affluent clients. We are exploring the potential use of a robo advisory technology platform to potentially tap into this.
High growth client base.
And then in addition.
We are also very active in the offshore private markets.
<unk> clients pursue opportunities opportunistic transactions like secondary secondary blocks direct investments private credit and so on.
And then last but not least we also provide insights content advisory services to our clients. So for example research from our in House research team or wealth planning advisory. That's that is delivered by our high win well fiduciary services, Hong Kong limited and these.

Yeah. So thank you Derrick so one of our priorities as you heard just now is optimizing our <unk>.
Our organization structure and efficiency.
As well as raising the professional standards of our relationship managers.
For example, when we evaluate our relationship managers internally, we take into consideration both sales targets as well as overall client.
Dysfunction.
And then we also believe strongly in enabling and empowering our relationship managers to help them succeed with their clients.
So we continue to be enhancing our training program and we are offering the tools the technology the research and all of the resources that's on our platform to help our relationship managers succeed.
So overall the attrition rate of our elite.
Relationship managers was actually fairly low at less than 6% right. So our number number of RMS was 1584.
Although as a slight decrease year on year, but the transaction value per RM actually increased by 16% to $54.0 million renminbi REIT. So we believe that the productivity and the profitability per RM actually improved in this fiscal year.
And then going forward, we will continue to grow, especially our elite relationship managers, particularly in certain strategic cities.
