Established in 1991, CIMB Securities Hong Kong is CIMB Group’s investment banking arm in the Greater China region. We have built an excellent franchise in institutional equities over the years, especially in institutional sales, trading and research, and has been delivering professional service to international and local institutional investors looking for investments in the Hong Kong and China markets. Through the local and overseas sales desks, products are distributed with good local penetration and global reach.

Our office offers services in fund raising and financial and corporate advisory, covering management and underwriting of initial public offerings, secondary listings, private placements, advisory on M&A deals, divestments, corporate and capital restructuring, independent financial advisory, and general financial and corporate advice.

As part of our expansion plans, both CIMB Bank Hong Kong and CIMB Securities Hong Kong set up representative offices in Lujiazui, the financial district of Shanghai, China at the end of 2008 and early 2009 respectively. The offices serve to build relationships with clients and authorities as well as to promote the Group’s products and services to the domestic business community.

Recognising the vast potential in the biggest emerging market in Asia, CIMB Group continued our foray into China via the acquisition of a 19.99% equity stake in Bank of Yingkou Co. Ltd in April 2009, making us the single largest shareholder in the largest commercial bank in Yingkou City, China.

Bank of Yingkou was incorporated in April 1997 as an amalgamation of 13 credit cooperatives and is currently the leading bank in Yingkou, with the largest market share of loans and deposits.
