(Hong Kong - July 5, 2022)

Futu Securities International (Hong Kong) Limited (「Futu」) announces that for the first time it has appointed a top superstar, Nicholas Tse Ting-fung (「Nicholas Tse」), as the brand's new ambassador, as the investment platform prepares to unveil a series of new advertisements spearheaded by the famous celebrity. This collaboration is a milestone for Futu as it is the first-ever appointment of a celebrity as the brand ambassador since its establishment nearly 10 years ago, while also making Futu the first financial institution and investment brand endorsed by Nicholas Tse. Nicholas Tse is not only a well-known singer, martial artist, film actor and multi-talented artiste, but is also known as a high-performing entrepreneur in his own right. In founding his food and film post-production brands, Nicholas has shared the same spirit of courage to challenge with Futu, a game-changer in its realm. Together, they present a fearless entrepreneurial spirit that transcends industry limitations.

Nicholas Tse: Futu's brand spirit impresses me

In recent years, Nicholas Tse has devoted himself to developing and scaling up his businesses. While there is one reason that makes him decide to join this commercial shooting in Hong Kong – resonating with Futu’s brand spirit. Feeling well-placed to partner with the brand, he said: 「As a Futu user, I have had well established investment habits for many years. When I used Futu initially for the first time, I was attracted by its convenient and easy-to-use transaction interface; but after realizing its story of growth and seeing how it has been able to innovate for the benefit of its platform users, I appreciate this brand from the perspective of a spirit for seeking breakthroughs, as well as the positive changes it has brought to society,」 said Nicholas Tse.

Ads to feature on three major TV stations, MTR stations and bus stations

The advertisements will appear in prominent locations and be highly visible as a result of an all-encompassing marketing strategy. In addition to appearing on three free-to-air TV stations, including TVB, ViuTV and Hong Kong Open TV, advertisements will also feature prominently on public transport.

At the same time, I think that anyone can draw inspiration and learn from his innovative thinking and courage to accept and overcome challenges, whether they are challenges in personal life, in business, or in making strong investment decisions.
