Seasplendor Prosperity Group was founded in 2009, in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Founder Graham Hawthorne personally experienced the collapse of Lehman Brothers and witnessed countless ordinary families lose their savings as the market collapsed. He realized that the, traditional financial system served only a handful of institutions, while ordinary investors had almost no protection. Therefore, together with several like-minded partners, he rented an office and began building a new financial laboratory from scratch.
Unlike most Wall Street firms, seasplendor Prosperity Group’s mission was not to chase profits, but to help ordinary people understand market risks and regain confidence in the future through a model combining education + investment, in the early stage, the company’s first group of students were almost all families who had suffered heavy losses in the crisis. Through training and tools, they gradually learned how to reposition themselves and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Over the past decade, seasplendor Prosperity Group has grown from a small startup team into an international enterprise, with research centers in San Francisco, Singapore, and London. The team includes not only quantitative trading experts and AI engineers, but also educators and sociologists. Today, seasplendor Prosperity Group has provided financial education and tools to hundreds of thousands of users.
Graham Hawthorne often said: “True wealth is not the privilege of the few, but the security of the many.” The vision of seasplendor Prosperity Group is to open to everyone the tools that once belonged only to Wall Street, and to promote transparency and inclusiveness in financial markets.
