SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In today’s fast-changing financial world, managing investments across different types of assets is getting more important. Investors are looking to spread their money around to reduce risks and get better returns. Wealth Broker, an online brokerage platform, understands this and offers solutions that help both new and experienced investors manage a mix of assets in one App, making it easier to grow their wealth.

The Necessity of Multi-Asset Management

Diversifying investments means putting money into different types of assets, like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and cryptocurrencies. This is based on the idea of not putting your eggs in one basket. By spreading out investments, it is possible to lessen the impact of a downturn in one area on the whole portfolio.

Different types of assets often don’t move in the same direction at the same time. If one type of asset is doing poorly, another might be doing well, which can help balance out your overall returns. For example, during a recession, bonds might provide stable returns while stocks might drop. When the stock market is doing well, assets like gold might hold their value or even increase. This lack of correlation can help protect investments from big losses.

Wealth Broker’s Multi-Asset Management Investment Solutions

As a vanguard in the digital investment and wealth management sector, Wealth Broker offers an array of tools and resources that facilitate multi-asset management for both novice and experienced investors.

Wealth Broker works with a wide range of partners, including banks, investment firms, family offices, wealth management companies, and fund managers, covering many areas of finance. This gives individual clients access to a full range of financial products, including stocks, cash management, mutual funds, private funds, structured products, bonds, and digital assets, to meet different needs and open up more investment opportunities.

For investors who deal in different currencies, Wealth Broker supports several types, like Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, Chinese yuan, and digital currencies. This means investors can move money between currencies without needing extra services, saving time and money. Wealth Broker also works hard to offer good exchange rates for its clients by working with many banks and financial institutions, which helps keep transaction costs down and boost investment returns.

Diversified and Personalized Financial Services

Wealth Broker offers services that cater to the specific needs of different types of investors.

For novice investors, Wealth Broker prioritizes user experience, endeavoring to simplify product interfaces for ease of use. Whether it involves account opening, transaction execution, or asset management, Wealth Broker streamlines these processes, thereby reducing investment barriers and enabling easier entry for novice investors.

For professional investors, Wealth Broker’s platform has established a “Professional Investor” certification system, providing exclusive investment products and personalized investment counsel, including comprehensive market research reports and preferential rates.

Shareholder Call Scheduled for November 15, 2024 at 10 a.m. EST/7 a.m. PST

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (Nasdaq: GP) (TSXV: GPV) (“GreenPower” and the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and distributor of all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving the cargo and delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school bus sector, today reported its second quarter fiscal year 2025 results and provided an update on its manufacturing operations.

“GreenPower spent the quarter advancing the school bus production process at its West Virginia facility by setting up an oversized paint booth and establishing production stations to increase throughput in order to meet customer orders and demands,” said GreenPower President Brendan Riley. “The increase in production coupled with manufacturing process improvements is expected to result in higher gross profit margins and cost reductions on a per unit basis as throughput improves.”

Riley said that the Company has been systematically increasing its production workforce to provide for its growing production. “Putting the workforce in place and validating the manufacturing process is key to our efficiency, and production growth which is expected to drive cost savings on a per unit basis. With these in place, GreenPower will be able to attain its longer-term manufacturing goal of producing 20 school buses per month,” he said, noting that steady, measured growth, a foundation of GreenPower’s model, is critical for maintaining quality throughout the production process.

“The growth in production complements GreenPower’s sales strategy of focusing on states where there are money and mandates for electric school buses,” added Fraser Atkinson, CEO of GreenPower. “While we continue to manufacture and sell EV school buses for current orders and contracts under both state and federal programs, the future is more focused on states that have put policies and plans in place to provide a cleaner, healthier ride for students through the deployment of electric school buses. States like California and New York, and regions like the Southwest.”

During the second quarter of GreenPower’s fiscal year 2025, the manufacturing process was exhibited when the Company produced the first Type D BEAST all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission school bus for the 37 BEAST order from the state of West Virginia from its South Charleston plant, which was delivered at the beginning of our current quarter.  That was the second BEAST produced in the facility following the production of the Kanawha County bus purchased directly by the school district outside of the state order. Additional deliveries to fulfill the state order are planned to take place in the third and fourth quarters.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights:

Generated revenues of $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 78% over the previous quarter.Delivered 11 BEAST Type D all-electric school buses, six EV Star Cargo and EV Star Cargo Plus and five EV Star Passenger Vans.Deferred revenue increased to $10.4 million, including the current portion of $7.5 million, which is expected to be realized over the next year.At the end of the quarter GreenPower had working capital of $10.1 million including inventory of $31.7 million consisting of $9.3 million of finished goods, $18.6 million of work-in-process and $3.8 million of parts and components.Received order for school buses under EPA’s Clean School Bus Program from the RWC Group for Arizona.

In October the Company completed an underwritten offering of 3,000,000 common shares raising gross proceeds of $3 million. The net proceeds from this offering are intended for the production of all-electric vehicles, including BEAST school buses and EV Star commercial vehicles, product development, with the remainder, if any, for general corporate purposes.  

For additional information on the results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2024 review the interim financial statements and related reports posted on GreenPower’s website as well as on www.sedar.com or filed on EDGAR.
