Across these segments, Noah describes revenue contributions from one-time commissions and service fees on distributed investment products, recurring service fees from asset management activities, and commissions from insurance and comprehensive services. Company disclosures also reference value-added services provided to high-net-worth clients that contribute to headquarters revenue.

Globalization and booking center network

Noah highlights a globalization strategy that focuses on building a cross-border service platform for global Chinese high-net-worth investors. Public statements describe the establishment of four global booking centers, including centers in Singapore and the United States, which are intended to support cross-border platform capabilities and Noah’s global service network.

According to the company, these booking centers form the foundation of a global operational system that supports client service, product booking, and cross-border wealth management. Noah also notes that it has obtained a U.S. broker-dealer license to further strengthen its global footprint and to support development of its overseas expansion.

AI-driven transformation and operating system

In its communications, Noah emphasizes an AI-driven transformation of its business. The company describes an “AI Wealth Advisor + AI Operations System” plan, with pilots aimed at improving client outreach, content generation, back-end operations, and cross-departmental collaboration, including in Singapore. Management commentary identifies AI as entering a “full-chain operational phase” and as a future growth curve for the company.

At its Black Diamond Summit, Noah introduced an integrated AI-driven global wealth infrastructure built on three pillars:

• Olive – described as an asset management and global growth engine.
• Glory – focused on family governance and legacy architecture.
• ARK – serving as a global booking and wealth execution center.

Supported by Noah’s AI platform, these pillars are presented as forming an operating system intended to reduce global complexity for clients and support family legacy planning.

Family services, governance and culture

Beyond investment products, Noah highlights family services and cultural initiatives. Through brands such as Glory Family Heritage, the company focuses on family governance and legacy-related services. Public materials reference concepts such as “family governance 2.0” and a values-driven succession framework that extends beyond financial planning.

Noah has also launched initiatives such as the N+ Art Club and its inaugural exhibition in Shanghai, described as an expression of the company’s brand philosophy of “Wisdom • Wealth • A Life of Warmth.” The N+ Art Club is presented as a platform where global Chinese families can explore art as a bridge between business and culture, wealth and spirit, and heritage and innovation.

Research and CIO insights

Noah and ARK Wealth publish research such as the ARK Wealth CIO Report, which discusses themes including geopolitical shifts, technological disruption, technology-driven deflation, and the role of virtual assets. The report introduces an asset allocation model that balances inflation-hedged assets, deflation-hedged assets, and bridge assets, and discusses low-correlation allocation frameworks, volatility-dampening strategies, and crisis-oriented approaches for portfolios. These materials are positioned as guidance for high-net-worth investors considering long-term asset allocation in a changing global environment.

Digital assets and new product directions

In its public announcements, Noah has disclosed initiatives related to digital assets. The company announced a strategic investment in a private credit digital yield fund managed by Olive in cooperation with Coinbase Asset Management, described as Olive’s first stablecoin yield fund. Noah characterizes this as a “cash management plus” allocation intended to enhance returns while maintaining a capital-preservation focus, and as part of a broader digital-asset roadmap.

The company has also indicated that it plans to expand digital asset-related product lines and to collaborate with licensed, compliant institutions in this area, with the stated objective of opening new growth engines for clients’ global asset allocation strategies.
