The "2015-2016 China Outstanding Finance Awards" were selected at the summit to honor the leading figures and enterprises with outstanding performance in the financial fields such as banking, insurance, securities and fund management. With transformation and innovative development on the financial holding platform, Oceanwide Holdings won the award of the "Financial Holding Platform with Outstanding Innovation Capability of the Year."

Oceanwide Holdings has gradually developed its financial business both at home and abroad in the past more than two years, striving to build a financial holding platform with full financial licenses , from the purchase of 72.99% stock rights of Minsheng Securities from the controlling shareholder China Oceanwide in April 2014 to the acquisition of Minsheng Trust and Asia-Pacific Property & Casualty Insurance, and from the establishment of MJS, Asia-Pacific Reinsurance and Asia-Pacific Internet Life Insurance, the application for the Internet license  to the recent owning of a controlling number of shares in Quam Limited, the Hong Kong listed securities company.

Just as what the award appraisal committee has said, nowadays, excellent enterprises have ushered in a brand-new financial era with parallel development and mutual promotion of financial regulation and financial innovation. Oceanwide Holdings’ innovative mode of financial holding that combines multi-level layout and former main business is becoming a benchmark.
