3 founders and 16 months -- that was all it took for RFIH to establish itself 
in the Digital Economy space with MAS RFMC status and a MAS-regulated DLT-based 
digital assets capital markets platform.

The establishment of Asia's first integrated digital financial ecosystem sets 
in motion a new model of sustainable financing and opportunity. Through an 
integrated system connecting investors, issuers and various service providers 
via breakthrough technologies, RFIH aims to improve efficiency and simplify 
regulatory compliance. Enabling highly attractive private equity investment 
returns and innovative business models using regulatory frameworks and AI. 

"RFIH is helmed by four visionary leaders in accounting, finance, capital 
markets and emerging technology located and established in China, Japan and 
Singapore. Tapping into each location, the Group aims to incubate new digital 
platforms, benefitting communities through its 'Asia Golden Triangle'," said 
Vincent Lin H, Group Executive Chairman.

"Now, phase 2 is achieved. We begin phase 2.1, strengthening our international 
network in China, Japan, Singapore and other ASEAN nations, opening a 
multi-family office, and launching our digitally focused, inaugural US$50 
million Private Equity Fund," said Eric Neo S.W, Group CEO.

"The confirmation of MAS status is a huge, early milestone in the Group's 
10-year masterplan," said Alan Chang C.H, Group COO.
