大家好。感谢各位今天参加我们2020年第三季度业绩电话会议。我们很高兴能够交出一份稳健的季度业绩,并且在业务转型和战略重新定位方面继续取得进展,推动我们的在线财富管理业务实现规模化,并加速推出新的信贷科技产品。我们在财富管理和信贷科技两条业务线上都实现了盈利和显著增长。
对于我们的财富管理业务,我们看到财富管理产品和服务呈现出良好的增长势头,需求依然强劲。截至9月底,财富管理产品的总资产管理规模环比增长71%至43亿元人民币,财富管理产品的总销售额环比增长110%至46亿元人民币。本季度宜人财富平台上新增财富管理产品投资者超过58,200人,环比增长255%。
具体而言,公募基金产品继续受到客户青睐,资产管理规模达到14亿元人民币,较上季度增长34%。每位投资者的公募基金平均资产管理规模为58,000元人民币,较上季度增长15%。值得一提的是,我们的基金组合产品在投资者中非常受欢迎,本季度占基金总销售额的80%以上,并且随着我们持续加大新产品设计和采购力度,正成为财富管理业务的重要增长动力。
与此同时,我们的保险业务增长迅速,超出了我们的预期。正如我们上次电话会议提到的,我们完成了对保险经纪公司Ocean的收购,截至9月底,该业务的销售额和收入已经超过了我们的全年目标,并通过其寿险和财产险产品开始为我们的财富管理业务贡献可观的收入。随着Ocean全面投入运营,我们的保险业务预计将加速增长。
此外,我们的证券业务正处于产品和服务推出的最后阶段,将很快为投资者提供优质的股票交易服务,并便捷地接入香港和美国资本市场。除此之外,我们还在建立在线投资者教育渠道,这将进一步丰富我们在宜人财富平台上为大众富裕投资者提供的全方位财富管理服务。
接下来,谈谈我们的信贷科技业务。在我们继续推动销售额增长的过程中,我想重点强调三项关键举措。首先,我们的新产品推出和扩展。随着我们转向小额循环贷款和汽车抵押贷款,我们的新产品继续呈现强劲增长。小额循环贷款季度增长接近100%,占本季度总贷款量的19%。同时,汽车抵押贷款较上季度增长76%,占总销售额的近一半,我们利用全国线下网络为该客户群体提供高质量服务。我们预计汽车抵押贷款将在第四季度继续保持强劲增长,并凭借优异的信用风险表现成为信贷科技收入的主要增长动力。
在借款人获取策略方面,我们继续加强与小米、58.com等大型流量平台的合作。我们也开始与渠道合作伙伴密切合作,提供定制化的小额循环消费贷款产品,并可能将我们的合作模式从CPS模式扩展到利润分成模式,进一步丰富我们的产品供应和信贷生态系统的消费场景。
在有效的渠道合作推动下,我们在第三季度将线上客户获取成本降至贷款量的低个位数百分比。
其次,关于我们向金融机构资金转型。我很高兴地宣布,从9月开始,我们100%的贷款业务都由金融机构资金提供支持。成功完成了信贷业务向贷款促成模式的全面转型。本季度,98%的贷款由金融机构提供资金,而上季度为63%,我们正在进一步多元化我们的合作伙伴基础。
最后,关于风险表现。随着我们的产品组合转向本质上信用损失较低的产品,以及持续努力提升借款人基础和收紧信贷政策,我们看到资产质量显著改善,逾期率大幅下降,已经超过了疫情前的水平。
展望第四季度和未来一年,我们的首要任务将是:通过多元化的产品和服务供应,将我们的在线财富管理业务发展至规模化,为大众富裕客户群体提供全面的投资者体验;同时,在信贷科技业务方面,执行向金融机构资金业务模式的转型,通过强大的渠道合作获取客户,同时将借款人基础迁移至信用质量更好的区间,以优化我们的产品定价和信用表现。
鉴于财富管理和信贷科技业务巨大的增长市场机遇,我们相信宜人金科作为中国领先的数字平台,能够提供全面的个人金融服务。
接下来,我将把电话会议交给我们的首席财务官Na,他将讨论我们本季度的财务业绩。

Hi, everyone. Thank you all for joining our third quarter 2020 earnings conference call today. We are very pleased to deliver a solid quarter, and we continue to make progress in our business transitions and strategic repositioning as we drive our online wealth management business into scale and ramp up our new creditech product offerings. We have achieved profitability and meaningful growth on both our wealth management and the creditech business lines.
For our wealth management business, we are seeing promising growth momentum in wealth management products and services, and that the demand remains strong. As of end of September, total AUA of wealth management products increased by 71% quarter-over-quarter to RMB 4.3 billion, and the total sales volume of wealth management products increased by 110% quarter-over-quarter to RMB 4.6 billion. New investors of wealth management products on Yiren Wealth in this quarter stood over 58,200, representing a 255% growth compared to last quarter.
More specifically, mutual fund products continue to enjoy strong popularity among customers with AUA reaching RMB 1.4 billion, up 34% from last quarter. The average AUA per investor for mutual funds stood at RMB 58,000, increasing by 15% from prior quarter. It's worth mentioning that our fund portfolio products see remarkable popularity among investors, which took more than 80% of the total fund sales volume this quarter and are becoming a strong driver of our wealth management business as we continue to make strong efforts into new product design sourcing.
Meanwhile, our insurance business has grown rapidly, exceeding our expectations. As mentioned at our last call, we completed the acquisition of the insurance broker, Ocean, and as of September month end, sales volume and revenue of this segment have already exceeded our full year target and began to contribute meaningful income to our wealth management businesses through its life and property insurance offerings. And accelerated growth is expected to our insurance business as Ocean begins operation in its full swing.
Furthermore, our securities business in its final stage for product and service launch, and will provide our investors with quality stock trading service and easy access to both Hong Kong and the U.S. capital and financial markets soon. Apart from that, we are also establishing an online investor education channel, which will further enrich our wealth management full spectrum service offerings to our mass affluent investor base on Yiren Wealth platform.
Next, on to our creditech business. Let me highlight 3 key initiatives as we continue to drive our sales volume growth. First, our new product offering and expansion. Our new products continue to show strong growth as we shift towards small revolving loans and auto secured loans. For the small revolving loans, we have seen a quarterly increase of close to 100%, accounting for 19% of the total loan volume of the quarter. Meanwhile, auto secured loans grew 76% compared to the last quarter and took almost half of the total sales volume, leveraging our nationwide offline network to provide high-quality services to this customer segment. We expect our auto secured loans to continue their strong growth in Q4 and will be the main growth driver to our creditech revenue with superior credit risk performance.
On our borrower acquisition strategy, we are continuing to strengthen our cooperation with large traffic platforms such as Xiaomi and 58.com. We also begin to work closely with channel partners to provide customized small revolving consumption loan products and potentially expand our partnership from CPS-based model to profit-sharing model, further diversifying our product offerings and enriching consumption scenarios of the credit ecosystem.
Driven by the effective channel partnerships, we have cut our online customer acquisition cost to low single-digit percentage of loan volume in the third quarter.
Secondly, on our transition to financial institutional funding. I'm pleased to announce that starting in September, we funded 100% of our loan business with financial institutional funding. Successfully completed the full transformation of our credit business into loan facilitation model. For this quarter, 98% of our loans were funded by financial institutions compared to 63% of last quarter, and we are further diversifying our partner base.
Lastly, on risk performance. With our product mix shifting to inherently lower credit loss product offerings and ongoing effort to upgrade our borrower base and tighter credit policy, we have seen significant improvement in asset quality and a sharp decline in delinquency, which already outperforms the pre-pandemic level.
Looking into the fourth quarter and the year ahead, our top priorities will be to grow our online wealth management business into scale with multiple product and service offerings, to provide a holistic investor experience to our mass affluent customer base and to execute on our creditech business transition into financial institution-funded business model with strong channel partnerships for customer acquisition, while migrating our borrower base to better credit quality spectrum, to optimize our product pricing and credit performance.
With the large growing market opportunities in both wealth management and creditech businesses, we believe Yiren Digital is well positioned as China's leading digital platform providing comprehensive personal financial services.
With that, I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Na, who will discuss our financial results for the quarter.
