In a LinkedIn post, the Chinese broker said that its investment assistant TigerGPT “has officially integrated with DeepSeek-R1, enhancing investment support capabilities with AI-powered insights!
“This upgrade marks another step forward in Tiger’s ongoing innovation in the AI + investment space, further improving the efficiency of its intelligent investment research services and empowering global investment decision-making.”
Backed by shareholders such as Xiaomi and US investor Jim Rogers, Tiger Brokers joins over 20 Chinese brokers and fund managers, such as Sinolink Securities, CICC Wealth Management, and China Universal Asset Management, in incorporating DeepSeek’s models into their operations.
These integrations are anticipated to enhance research processes, risk management, investment decisions, and client interactions within the sector.
Tiger Brokers founder and CEO Wu Tianhua commented on the partnership, saying, that DeepSeek will be able to tap Tiger Brokers’ financial data and help customers analyse valuations, make trading decisions and “feel the beauty of investment”.
“Its impact is real. It’s no longer a concept, or a marketing trick,” Tianhua told the news publication in an interview.
The improved version of TigerGPT, which boasts improved logical reasoning and market analysis capabilities, will initially be offered for free to users in mainland China and Singapore.
Tianhua added: “DeepSek’s integration has increased TigerGPT’s logical reasoning capabilities, allowing it to analyse market shifts more clearly and interpret investment opportunities more effectively.”
