Haitong International Securities Group Limited & Primary Insight, LLC Enter into a Joint Venture
New York, New York (PRWEB) July 06, 2017 -- Haitong International (Stock Code: 665.HK), a leading financial services company listed in Hong Kong, and Primary Insight, LLC, an expert network firm headquartered in New York, have announced they are entering into a joint venture starting July 3rd, 2017, for the purpose of increasing compliance and efficiency of expert services across Asia, including Hong Kong, the PRC, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, and India with the additional benefit of providing both Parties and their clients access to a larger and more comprehensive expert database.
This symbiotic relationship will enable significant development in both businesses. PI looks forward to expansive growth and penetration of its client base in the Asia-Pacific region with its new foreign partner that not only has deep roots in Asia but also an intimate understanding of the environment, including working familiarity with domestic clients, language fluency and the regulatory landscape. Similarly, Haitong International looks forward to gaining a competitive advantage by augmenting its research capabilities to its clients with exclusive access to PI’s global expert network. Under the terms of the agreement, this joint effort also includes an in-house consultancy in Haitong International’s Hong Kong offices that will be dedicated towards managing this relationship and fulfilling research requests.
This joint venture comes at the heels of recent international development of both firms’ operations within high-growth regions. It follows recent success in PI’s growth in Sao Paulo, Brazil (2016) and Haitong International’s recent acquisition of Haitong India (a subsidiary of Haitong Bank, 2016). Both firms look forward to capturing value in this opportunity that positions them for successful entry and expansion within the world’s leading capital markets.
Leighton Thomas, co-founder and CEO of Primary Insight explains, "Within the scope of the JV with Haitong International, Primary Insight now has a tremendous opportunity to bridge gaps in knowledge capital, expertise and relationships across Greater China and Asia.”
