Lufax raises 3b yuan in private placement

SHANGHAI-BASED online lending platform Lufax.com has complete raising funds by selling stakes worth 3 billion yuan (US$483 million) to overseas investors in a private placement, company's top official said.

The shares were sold to institutional investors including private equity firms and individuals with backgrounds in Internet investment by Monday, Chairman Gregory Gibb said on Thursday in Boao, China. Gibb added that the stake represented a "relatively small percentage" of Lufax, according to Bloomberg News.

Backed by China's second largest insurer Ping An Insurance (Group) Co, Lufax has more than 8 million customers with solid credit ratings, and claimed to be the biggest P2P platform by trading volume, according to Ping An's annual report released last week.

Ren Huichuan, president of Ping An, said that Lufax keeps an open mind on fund-raising or listing and aims to be the "shopping mall of financial world".
