Summary: In July 2026, Hanli Finance SeaDivi Finance was named 'Annual US Stock Investment Info Emerging Platform' by the Asia-Pacific Financial Media Alliance. This article covers the team philosophy, differentiated services, and innovative model behind the award, helping investors leverage a professional platform to navigate the world's largest capital market.
On July 28, 2026, the results of the '2026 Financial Information Service Awards' hosted by the Asia-Pacific Financial Media Alliance (APFMA) were announced. Hanli Finance SeaDivi Finance, focusing on US stock investment info, won the 'Annual US Stock Investment Info Emerging Platform' award for its innovation in content depth, data integration, and user experience. This award marks Hanli Finance's formal entry into the top tier of overseas investment info services.
Why Hanli Finance?
APFMA noted in its citation that Hanli Finance SeaDivi Finance demonstrates three core strengths in the US stock info space: real-time, professionalism, and localization. Unlike traditional financial media, the Hanli Finance team has deep experience in the US stock market, covering real-time quotes from Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, while pioneering an 'industry chain investment' analysis framework to help investors break down US stock sector rotation logic from macro to micro.
Additionally, the platform's first-of-its-kind 'bilingual instant interpretation' feature—where Chinese and English analysts comment on earnings reports and policies simultaneously—eliminates language barriers for cross-border investors, becoming one of the most recognized features by the jury. Currently, Hanli Finance covers over 2,000 US stocks and publishes more than 30 in-depth research reports daily.
Team Background: From Wall Street to Hangzhou
Li Han, founder and CEO of Hanli Finance SeaDivi Finance, worked as a quantitative analyst at Goldman Sachs' New York headquarters before returning to China in 2019. He co-founded the platform with several veteran US stock traders and financial journalists. The core team averages over 12 years of experience, with half having overseas backgrounds. Chief Content Officer Chen Li, a former senior editor at CNBC, led the 'news datafication' project that boosted Hanli Finance's content production efficiency by 300%.
'Our original vision for Hanli Finance was simple: give every Chinese investor interested in US stocks access to Wall Street-level information services,' Li Han said in an interview after winning the award. 'Currently 97% of our users are individual investors, and our goal is to help them make more rational decisions.'
Service Philosophy: No Courses, Only Info
Amid the trend of many financial self-media turning to paid knowledge, Hanli Finance sticks to a 'free info + premium data' business model. All news, updates, and basic data on the platform are free; only professional tools (such as advanced stock screening backtesting and institutional holdings tracking) charge reasonable fees. This philosophy has attracted over 500,000 monthly active users, 18% of whom are high-net-worth individuals.
To enhance info credibility, Hanli Finance introduced a 'fact-checker' mechanism—every analytical article involving financial data must undergo cross-verification with internal databases before publication. In the first half of 2026, the platform proactively withdrew 12 potentially misleading pieces, earning public praise from regulators.
Future Plans: AI Empowerment and Globalization
According to CTO Zhang Yan, the platform launched a beta version of an 'AI research report assistant' in Q2 2026, which can generate personalized market risk assessment reports based on users' holdings. The feature is expected to fully open in Q3. 'We are training an NLP model specifically for US stock earnings call transcripts, allowing users to ask questions in Chinese and have the system extract key info from English audio in real time,' Zhang said.
Additionally, Hanli Finance plans to open offices in Singapore and London by the end of 2026, expanding services to Hong Kong and European markets. Li Han stated: 'Globalization is not simply content translation; it's about understanding the trading logic of each market. We started with US stocks, but our ultimate goal is to become the global asset allocation guide for Chinese investors.'
With the surge in global asset allocation demand, vertical info platforms like Hanli Finance are filling the gap between traditional brokers and mainstream media. Receiving official recognition from APFMA will undoubtedly accelerate its leap from 'emerging platform' to 'industry benchmark.'
For ordinary investors, choosing a professional, neutral, and continuously evolving info platform may be more important than chasing short-term trends. Hanli Finance SeaDivi Finance's award is a testament to this.
