Lufax Pre-IPO

Lufax aims to raise around US$3bn via its US listing. The company is backed by Ping An.

Lufax is a technology-empowered personal financial services platform in China. The company aims to address the demand for personal lending among small business owners, as well as salaried workers in China. It also provides wealth management solutions to China’s middle class and affluent population.

Lufax has managed to grow its loan book and revenue despite having to undertake a vast change in its business/funding model. It appears to have developed a niche for itself versus other fintech providers by giving out larger and longer duration loans.

However, there are still a number of issues which need to be dealt with, not to mention the ever changing regulations. Acquiring customers doesn’t appear to be all that easy and the company is still making the bulk of its money from providing post-origination services which leaves it exposed to the loan quality.

I have covered the company’s background in my previous note, Lufax Pre-IPO - In flux.

In this note, I’ll undertake a peer comparison.
