Ant Group, formerly known as Ant Financial and Alipay, is an affiliate company of the Chinese Alibaba Group. Ant Financial is the world’s highest-valued FinTech company, and most valuable unicorn (start-up) company, with a valuation of US$150 billion.
In March 2019, The Wall Street Journal reported that Ant’s flagship Tianhong Yu’e Bao money-market fund was the biggest in the world, with over 588 million users of Ant’s mobile payments network Alipay contributing, more than a third of China’s population.
CICC, Citigroup, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley will be advisers on the Hong Kong Ant Group’s listing plan, while CICC and CSC Financial will underwrite the Shanghai leg of the IPO.
The Ant Financial management believes that their move to go for an IPO and become a public company will enhance transparency to their stakeholders.
