Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (0388) has opened its new office in London, further extending its international reach. The new office is expected to consolidate HKEX's presence in the UK, while connecting European clients with Hong Kong capital markets.
HKEX chief executive Nicolas Aguzin said: "Now, with a presence in the three major world time zones, we are very well placed to connect capital with opportunities and enhance international connectivity, further strengthening Hong Kong's role as a global superconnector."
"HKEX already has strong ties with the financial community in London, through its subsidiary, the London Metal Exchange, and this new office will broaden and deepen our support for our growing customer base in Europe. We look forward to working with investors, companies and risk managers in the region, supporting them as together we drive our shared sustainable success," he added.
The new London office is set to focus on promoting HKEX's international equities franchise, its exclusive connectivity with mainland China's capital markets and its rapidly expanding derivatives product suite.
