Integrating professional investment research, personalized strategies and global market capabilities to empower retail investors in making informed decisions
HONG KONG, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Webull Securities Limited (“Webull HK”), a subsidiary of Webull Corporation (NASDAQ: BULL), the owner of the Webull trading platform, unveiled Vega AI, its new artificial intelligence-powered product, at the “Webull HK Strategy and Vega AI Launch” Event. The event attracted more than 160 media representatives, financial influencers, institutional partners, clients and business partners. It featured strategic presentations, product demonstrations, client sharing sessions and a cross-disciplinary panel discussion examining the changes and opportunities that AI is bringing to the investment landscape.

Built on Webull HK’s global market presence, professional investment research capabilities and financial technology infrastructure, Vega AI is designed to deliver a smarter, more intuitive and personalized investment experience for retail investors.
Mr. Wang Haichen, Chief Executive Officer of Webull HK, said: “AI is transforming how investors access information, understand markets and develop strategies. Its true value, however, lies not in the number of features it offers, but in its ability to connect professional investment research, global market opportunities and the trading experience effectively. The launch of Vega AI marks Webull HK’s next step from professional trading towards smart investment. We aim to make professional investment tools more intuitive, efficient and personalized, enabling more retail investors to use them with confidence.”
Three Core Use Cases Covering Investment Research and Trading Strategy
Unlike many AI investment tools that focus primarily on general enquiries, information summaries or standalone analytical functions, Vega AI brings together market analysis, company research, personalized strategies and one-click investing within a single workflow.
Users can identify potential opportunities, understand the underlying analytical rationale, review trading strategy and proceed to order placement without leaving the platform. Vega AI is designed to provide market insights and decision-making support rather than make decisions on a user’s behalf. All final decisions and trading instructions remain under the user’s control.
Vega AI’s three core use cases include:
1. Intelligent Discovery of Investment Opportunities
| Vega AI consolidates key market developments and relevant signals, analyzing individual stock performance and broader market trends across multiple dimensions. This helps users identify securities that may warrant further research while reducing the time required to search, organise and filter large volumes of information. The product also provides daily stock briefings, enabling users to review company performance and market developments quickly before conducting further enquiries and in-depth analysis. To accommodate the preferences of Hong Kong users, Vega AI also supports real-time voice interaction, making the investment research process more natural and direct. |
2. Intelligent Interpretation of Corporate Earnings
| Vega AI organizes key information before and after corporate earnings announcements. It analyses financial reports from perspectives including the sustainability of growth, the quality of core earnings and differences between reported performance and market expectations. It also identifies factors that may affect a company’s fundamentals. Through Vega AI’s real-time, interactive enquiry function, users can explore the relationships among financial indicators, business performance and market reactions. This enables them to move beyond reading financial data towards gaining a deeper understanding of a company’s operations and earnings performance, thereby improving the efficiency of fundamental research. |
3. Personalized Trading Strategies
| Users can specify their investment themes, objectives and risk preferences through Vega AI. The system then provides allocation references supported by clear explanations, visualizations and ongoing review functionality. This helps users understand the considerations and potential risks underlying different allocation approaches. Unlike tools that provide analysis or suggestions without a direct path to execution, Vega AI allows users who have reviewed and confirmed an allocation to proceed directly to the order placement process through its one-click investing function. All trading instructions must be reviewed and confirmed by the user. |
Mr. Edmond Cheung, Head of Product and Innovation Department at Webull HK, said: “The value of AI does not lie in providing investors with more information. It lies in helping them establish context, interpret data and evaluate their choices. Vega AI aims to translate complex questions relating to markets, companies and trading strategy into research support that is easier to understand. However, AI cannot—and should not—replace an investor’s own assessment of risk.”
Security, Privacy and User Autonomy Embedded in Product Design
Data security, privacy protection and accountability for decision-making are key considerations when applying AI in financial services. Vega AI has therefore been designed around three core principles: protecting the privacy of user conversations, separating the AI system from core account systems and preserving user control.
Users’ conversations and enquiries are encrypted and accessible only by the users themselves. The AI system operates separately from Webull HK’s core account systems and does not access sensitive account information. Vega AI does not execute trades automatically, and all investment decisions and trading instructions must be made and confirmed by users.
Looking ahead, Vega AI will continue to develop in two principal directions. First, Webull HK will deepen its AI support for key trading products, including US options, with the aim of covering the full pre-trade, trade and post-trade journey. Second, Vega AI will leverage an open MCP architecture to connect AI computing capabilities, quantitative models and data services. Through this approach, Webull HK aims to collaborate with market participants in building a more open smart-investing ecosystem.
Cross-Industry Experts Discuss AI’s Role in Investing
Webull HK also hosted a panel discussion titled “AI Disrupts Investing: Assistant or Leading Player?”. The discussion was moderated by Ms. Fan Hau Yu, a veteran financial and stock-market programme presenter.
Panellists included Ms. Yuki Ma, Chief Operating Officer of Webull HK; Ms. Anny Liu, Managing Director and Regional Head of China & Singapore of Investment Intelligence at Nasdaq; Mr. Martin Wong, Senior Vice President, Markets Division, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX); and Mr. Andrew Lau, Executive Director at Hong Kong Economic Times Holdings Limited and Deputy Managing Director at ET Net Limited.
Drawing on macroeconomic market trends and user-level data, the panellists examined the current applications of AI in investing. They also discussed the challenges associated with implementing AI in the financial industry, including data, regulatory compliance, systems integration and user adoption, as well as the practical value AI can deliver to retail investors.
The panellists also considered emerging market and technology trends, the next stage of AI development in financial services, and how AI could help retail investors establish more efficient and disciplined research and decision-making processes. The discussion further explored the appropriate role and boundaries of AI throughout the trading journey.
Expanding Global Market Access, with South Korean Stock Trading Coming Soon
In line with its development as a smart investment platform, Webull HK will continue to expand its product offering and global market coverage. Following the introduction of access to US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, China A-shares and Japanese stocks, the platform plans to launch South Korean stock trading, providing Hong Kong investors with more convenient access to a wider range of markets and investment opportunities. Canadian stock trading has also been included in Webull HK’s future development roadmap, further strengthening the platform’s one-stop global trading experience.
Looking ahead, Webull HK will continue to make professional capabilities, global market access and AI central to its development. The company remains committed to enhancing a professional and intelligent trading experience built around user autonomy.
