Gamified Asset Allocation Assistant for Gen-Z Investors > Embedded Mini-Program for Ping An Securities App
Cai Meng Consensus Circle is a data-driven "Social Discovery" FinTech product designed for Gen-Z investors. It addresses the pain point of investment anxiety and blindly following trends.
By translating complex financial logic into MOBA Gaming Concepts (e.g., "Tank" for Conservative, "Marksman" for Aggressive), it helps young investors understand their risk profiles, analyze "peer consensus," and conduct professional attribution analysis.
- Role: Product Manager & Lead Algo Developer
- Context: FinTech Product Design / Ping An Securities User Scenario
- Key Tech: Risk Parity Model, Brinson Attribution, Monte Carlo Simulation, React.
Through user research on Gen-Z investors, we identified three core misalignments:
- Information Overload: "Too many stock codes, who should I listen to?"
- Risk Mismatch: Conservative users copying aggressive strategies (FOMO), leading to panic selling.
- Lack of Feedback: "Winning feels like luck, losing feels like a scam." No professional attribution tools.
"We don't teach you how to gamble. We help you replay the game."
We redefined the investment journey using concepts familiar to digital natives: MOBA Games.
| Investment Concept | Gaming Metaphor | User Value |
|---|---|---|
| Risk Profile | Role (Hero Class) | Define "Who am I?" (Tank/Marksman/Mage) |
| Asset Allocation | Equipment Build | "Don't buy naked damage items on a Tank." |
| Trend Analysis | Meta / Tier List | See what top players of your class are buying. |
| Stress Testing | Battle Simulation | Simulate 10,000 matches (market crashes). |
- Feature: Visualizes the "Trend Radar" based on real-time holdings of peer groups.
- Algo: Clustering analysis of anonymized user positions.
- Value: Helps users identify "Best Sellers" (Consensus) within their specific risk profile (e.g., "What ETFs are other 'Marksmen' buying?").
- Feature: Deconstructs portfolio returns to distinguish between "Luck" (Beta) and "Skill" (Alpha).
- Algo: Brinson Model & Barra Risk Factors.
- Metric: Displays "Win Rate," "KDA" (Sharpe Ratio), and "Damage Dealt" (Total Return).
- Feature: Before actual trading, users can test their portfolios against extreme scenarios (e.g., "Market Crash," "Interest Rate Hike").
- Algo: Monte Carlo Simulation (10,000+ iterations).
- Output: Calculates "Survival Probability" and "Max Drawdown" (Lowest HP).
- Feature: Generates optimized "Equipment Builds" (Portfolios).
- Algo: Risk Parity Model. Automatically balances "Core Assets" (Fixed Income/Gold) and "Satellite Assets" (Tech/Growth).
The system is designed with a lightweight frontend and a heavy-duty quantitative backend.
- Frontend:
React 18,Tailwind CSS,Recharts(for financial visualization). - Backend:
Python,Flask/FastAPI. - Quant Engine:
Pandas+SciPy: Risk Parity calculation.Barra Model: Factor exposure analysis.Monte Carlo: Tail risk simulation.
- Data:
PostgreSQL(User Profile),Redis(Real-time Market Data).
We backtested and ran the "Conservative Core + Aggressive Satellite" strategy generated by the consensus engine:
- Period: Sep 2025 - Nov 2025
- Return: +11.86%
- Alpha: Outperformed CSI 300 (Benchmark) by +7.55%.
- Business Impact: Transformed traditional "One-way Education" into "Two-way Consensus," improving user retention and rationality.
