Mr. Leo Li,Head of Wealth Management & Equity Sales of CITIC Securities Brokerage HK,said: "Leveraging its extensive experience in servicing HNWI in China and its deep understanding of the Greater China market,CITIC Securities Brokerage HK is the sole wealth management company in Hong Kong to represent CITIC Securities Company Limited,the largest securities company in China in terms of asset under management[1]. As of August 2018,CITIC Securities Brokerage HK had HK$86.4 billion (US$11.1 billion) in assets under management,custody,and/or advice,on par with regional private banks."

Mr. Tony Leung,Chief Executive Officer of CITIC Securities Brokerage HK,highlighted: "Our strong onshore and offshore track record gives us a clear competitive advantage over international private banks targeting Chinese HNWI,enabling us to complete new clients' onboarding processes more effectively and significantly faster."

He added: "For us,the sweet spot is the fast growing segment of Chinese HNWI with assets between HK$5 million and HK$12 million,who are often neglected by private banks with entry levels of HK$12 million to HK$20 million and under-serviced by retail banks that offer them unsuitable products and services."

"CITIC Securities Brokerage HK is shifting its focus towards wealth management services. We have established a dedicated team of wealth managers to provide services to Chinese customers in Northern,Southern and Eastern China,with liaison points in key provinces and cities and CITICS Plus will enable us to expand our footprint.
