The group comprises professionals, businessmen and academics, and aims to represent the voice of the middle-class.

The basic platform of the group is to consolidate the power of the middle-class and to protect the long-term interest of Hong Kong.

It aims to focus on studying various public policy issues and suggest proposals in a rational and professional manner, on the basis of the "One country-two systems" principle.

Ng resigned from the President of the Baptist University in 2001 and quit the New Century Forum.

Members of the group also contested in the District Council elections but usually ran as independent candidates.
