Accelerating global expansion into emerging markets with new brandsGlobal investment allocation strategies and expanded product offerings drive long-term value for clientsExpanding comprehensive service matrix to address evolving client needs globally

SHANGHAI, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Noah Holdings Limited (“Noah” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NOAH and HKEX: 6686), a leading and pioneer wealth management service provider offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily for Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth investors, hosted its 2024 Corporate Open Day on December 6, 2024, in Hong Kong.

At the event, Noah’s executive management team outlined the Company’s strategic initiatives including global expansion, innovation, and competitive global investment product offerings and comprehensive service matrix. Presentations provided insights into the evolving wealth management needs of global Mandarin-speaking individuals and corporate clients, including shifts in investment preferences, global asset allocation strategies, and the challenges of navigating global markets.

Noah’s co-founder and Chairwoman, Ms. Jingbo Wang, reflected on the event and the Company’s vision for the future: “Noah’s mission has always been to empower our clients with the best tools and strategies to thrive in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Our 2024 Corporate Open Day demonstrated how we are turning this vision into reality—by expanding our global presence, advancing our technological capabilities, and offering sophisticated global investment solutions tailored to our clients’ unique needs.”

“This year, we’ve experienced a challenging and rapidly evolving macroeconomic landscape, and have responded with agility, deepening our expertise in global alternative investments and expanding offerings like digitalized insurance and global corporate services. These efforts are designed to create meaningful value for our clients to capitalize on opportunities in dynamic markets and are already improving our financial performance with net revenues from overseas growing by 28.9% year-over-year and 35.3% sequentially during the third quarter of 2024. While we are still in the relatively early stages of this overseas expansion, I believe the presentations and panel discussions today highlight the significant growth opportunities ahead of us as we acquire new clients through our competitive global investment solutions and renowned service standards.”

“As we look to the future, Noah will continue to lead with innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence, shaping the global wealth management industry for Mandarin-speaking clients and advancing opportunities for our clients, partners, and the communities we serve.”

Additional highlights from the 2024 Corporate Open Day are included below.

Strategic Focus and Global Expansion

Noah reaffirmed its commitment to expanding its global footprint, with discussions highlighting the Company’s recent launch of its new brands to serve overseas Mandarin-speaking clients: its wealth management arm ARK Private Wealth; asset management arm Olive Asset Management; and global insurance, trust, and comprehensive services arm Glory Family Heritage.

Panelists highlighted the significant unmet demand among domestic clients for international wealth management services, noting how Noah’s expanding global presence uniquely positions it to service the needs of this still-growing client base while simultaneously unlocking opportunities with underserved Mandarin-speaking investors in local markets. Noah’s recently opened office in Japan builds on its primary booking centers for Ark Private Wealth in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the U.S. in the near future, which not only serve existing clients but also facilitate engagement with new clients across emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Canada, many of whom are currently underserved by local financial institutions.

Global Asset Allocation Strategies and Competitive Product Offerings

The 2024 Corporate Open Day highlighted Noah’s ability to deliver global asset allocation strategies informed by the current macroeconomic and interest rate environment. Panel discussions explored Noah’s unique competitive advantage in alternative assets and expanded product offerings in cash management, structured products, hedge funds, private credit, and infrastructure, in addition to its traditional strengthens in private equity and venture capital. Panelists discussed how Noah’s robust and comprehensive product coverage and selection capabilities are building globally competitive product lines that are increasingly capturing a larger share of clients’ wallets with significant potential remaining for alternative asset allocation among prospective overseas clients. Noah’s commitment to providing clients with sophisticated solutions that address their needs for diversification, risk management, and long-term growth remains firm.

Comprehensive Service Matrix to Address Emerging Client Priorities

The event showcased Noah’s pioneering efforts to adapt to evolving client needs and strengthen client stickiness through innovative new products and services. Noah has directly aligned its service matrix with the evolving needs of its substantial client base which predominantly consists of entrepreneurs it has serviced for years onshore who are now seeking to expand overseas. Panelists highlighted how Noah’s deep insights into the needs of global Mandarin-speaking clients and international perspective seamlessly address this demand by helping them navigate an increasingly complex global environment.

Glory Family Heritage is exploring new business models and leveraging the synergies with Noah’s global ecosystem to offer global lifestyle, global insurance, tax advisory, trust services, and other integrated solutions. Its digital insurance platform has redefined efficiency and transparency and was the first to offer digital insurance applications and premium payments in Hong Kong. The potential for incremental growth through commission-only agents, cross-industry institutions, professional service agencies, licensed financial institutions and other channels is significant.

Sunrate and Mastercard Release White Paper on Agentic AI and the Future of B2B Global Payments

Published

on

By

SHANGHAI, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sunrate, the global payment and treasury management platform, and Mastercard, a global technology company in the payments industry, unveiled a joint white paper, Beyond Automation: Defining Agentic Global Payments, at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC).

Among the first reports in the payments industry to examine the impact of Agentic AI on B2B cross-border payments, the white paper provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how AI agents are reshaping enterprise payment operations. It proposes that cross-border payments are evolving beyond digitisation and automation into a new stage: Autonomy—where AI agents with reasoning, planning, and execution capabilities can independently orchestrate and optimise end-to-end payment and treasury workflows within defined governance frameworks.

As businesses expand across borders, B2B cross-border payments continue to be constrained by fragmented workflows, disconnected systems, foreign exchange inefficiencies, rising compliance requirements, and complex reconciliation processes. While traditional automation improves individual tasks, the white paper demonstrates that Agentic AI represents a fundamental shift by enabling intelligent agents to coordinate entire payment journeys across systems, counterparties, and approval workflows.

Drawing on Sunrate’s global payment infrastructure and AI-native product capabilities, together with Mastercard’s expertise in secure payment networks and data intelligence, the white paper defines Agentic Global Payments — a new category of AI-native global payment infrastructure built to automate and manage complex enterprise workflows.

The report identifies 16 major pain points across the B2B payment lifecycle and outlines 13 high-value AI use cases spanning supplier onboarding, accounts payable and receivable, virtual commercial cards, payment routing, foreign exchange management, compliance screening, fraud detection, reconciliation, and conversational operational support. It also demonstrates how AI agents can automate complex workflows—from extracting information across multiple document formats and conducting compliance checks to initiating payments, optimising FX execution, and completing reconciliation—while operating within enterprise governance and control frameworks.

The white paper further highlights that trusted adoption of agentic payments depends on more than technological capability. It identifies governance, transparency, security, and ecosystem collaboration as essential foundations for enterprise deployment, supported by frameworks such as Know Your Agent (KYA), payment tokenisation, auditability, and cross-industry interoperability.

Sunrate.AI portfolio currently includes the Payment Agent, FX Agent, Compliance Agent, Onboarding Agent, and Chat Agent, designed to help enterprises automate and optimise critical payment and treasury processes while maintaining compliance and operational control.

Mastercard has also been actively building the foundations for trusted agentic commerce – combining AI capabilities with verifiable authorisation, clear accountability and proven payments security. Its work in this area, including Agent Pay (alongside Agent Pay for Machines) and Verifiable Intent, are proof points in how Mastercard is enabling AI to participate in commerce safely and transparently. 

“Our mission is to make global payments seamless, compliant, and intelligent,” said Paul Meng, Co-founder and CEO of Sunrate. “As businesses continue expanding internationally, AI agents will fundamentally reshape how enterprises manage global payments—enabling smoother capital flows, reducing operational friction, and embedding real-time intelligence into every payment decision. This white paper represents an important step in helping the industry understand how Agentic AI can be deployed responsibly at enterprise scale.”

“Agentic commerce is changing how businesses make and execute payment decisions, but speed without accountability creates new categories of risk,” said Anouska Ladds, Executive Vice President, Commercial & New Payment Flows, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. “As AI starts to act on behalf of businesses, autonomous payment decisions need a clear, auditable chain of identity, intent and action. That’s what allows organisations to delegate with genuine confidence — and what will determine whether agentic commerce scales past pilots.”

Released under WAIC 2026’s theme, “Intelligent Partners, Co-creating the Future,” the white paper provides business leaders with practical guidance on adopting AI-driven payment capabilities, covering implementation approaches, governance considerations, and real-world enterprise applications.

By combining Sunrate’s expertise in global payments and treasury management with Mastercard’s trusted payment infrastructure and network capabilities, the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to accelerating the next generation of intelligent, secure, and autonomous B2B global payments.

JAMS Launches AI for Enterprise Job Scheduling: JAX and JAMS MCP

Published

A new AI agent and an open-standard connector let IT teams query, diagnose, and manage automation in plain language, on the model they choose, with operational data able to stay onshore inside their own network

SYDNEY, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JAMS Software, an orchestration solution for scheduled and event-driven automation, today announced the general availability of two AI capabilities for enterprise job scheduling: JAX, an AI agent built into the JAMS Web Client, and JAMS MCP, a connector built on the open Model Context Protocol standard that brings JAMS into external AI coding tools. Both capabilities ship at no additional cost as part of JAMS Web.

Automation environments grow faster than the teams that run them. Jobs multiply across SQL Server, Azure Data Factory, Airflow, SAP, JDE, and Banner, and when one fails, finding the root cause often means searching several consoles at once, frequently outside business hours. At the same time, IT leaders carry pressure to adopt AI while staying accountable for where operational data goes. JAX and JAMS MCP close both gaps together.

Full details on how JAX and JAMS MCP work, including the control model behind every action, are available at jamsscheduler.com/product/ai.

JAX is an AI agent that runs inside the JAMS Web Client. It finds jobs, troubleshoots failures, and answers how-to questions in plain language, with each response grounded in the JAMS user guide and checked against a built-in glossary. JAX acts only when a user asks it to. Reads flow freely, and every write action pauses for the user’s explicit approval before it runs. JAX does not learn between sessions, and conversations are not retained on the server.

JAMS MCP is a connector, built on the open Model Context Protocol standard, that brings JAMS into the AI tools engineering teams already use, including Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Codex. Users query jobs, investigate failures, and manage runs in plain language without leaving their tool.

Both capabilities run inside the customer’s own network and act as the signed-in user, with that user’s exact JAMS permissions. There is no elevated AI account: whatever a user cannot do in the JAMS interface, JAX and JAMS MCP cannot do on that user’s behalf. Every JAX and MCP operation is recorded in its own dedicated log, and changes made through the JAMS API land in the JAMS audit trail like any other change. Customers choose their own AI model, whether a commercial provider such as OpenAI or Anthropic or a model running entirely on their own hardware, and JAMS never trains on customer data. In the current release, neither feature edits or deletes a job, folder, schedule, or agent definition. For teams that need operational data to stay onshore, JAX runs on a local model entirely inside the customer’s own network, so nothing leaves at all.

“Adopting AI usually means giving something up, most often visibility into where your data goes,” said Pete Hegland, Chief Executive Officer of JAMS Software. “We built JAX and JAMS MCP so that trade does not have to happen. Every action runs as the signed-in user, every change waits for approval, and the model can run on the customer’s own hardware, keeping operational data onshore.”

“For teams across Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, two things matter: keeping data onshore, and getting answers when a job fails after hours,” said Shayne Cooper, Account Executive for APAC at JAMS Software. “JAX and JAMS MCP address both. The model can run on the customer’s own hardware, and the answer arrives in plain language at the moment it is needed.”

JAX and JAMS MCP are available now to all JAMS Web customers across Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, with no separate licence, SKU, or additional cost. AI-assisted creation of new jobs and workflows from a plain-language description is on the roadmap for a future release, gated by the same approvals and permissions as every other action.
