Michelle Ma's questions to Huize Holding Ltd (HUIZ) leadership • Q2 2024
Question
Michelle Ma asked for details on Huize's international business strategy, questioning the rationale for entering multiple new overseas markets in a short period rather than focusing on developing one market at a time, given the diverse regulatory environments.
Answer
Co-CFO Kwok Ho Tam stated that strong results in Hong Kong encouraged further expansion. He clarified the Vietnam entry was a 'buy and build' M&A strategy with a local partner (Global Care) similar to Huize, minimizing risk. For future expansion into markets like the Philippines, Indonesia, or Singapore, the strategy will be flexible, involving JVs with strong local partners where Huize provides technology and product expertise. The company aims for international revenue to be 30% of the group total by 2026.
