About Huatai

Huatai International Financial Holdings Company Limited (“Huatai International” or “the Company”), is the only overseas wholly-owned or controlled subsidiary of Huatai Securities.

Huatai International is the Huatai Group’s international arm which plays as a crucial role in the group's internationalization strategy by: a) not only providing offshore capital market services (and a global business platform) but also provides onshore clients with valuable cross-border capital market services (aligned with the mainland

China government’s policies and commercial intentions); b) actively making use of Huatai Securities’ leading position, distribution network and customer base in mainland

China; c) integrating on a global basis across many jurisdictions and regions, a successful and fully integrated international financial platform with innovative financial services solutions.

Huatai International operates as a holding company for consolidating all of the group’s cross-border businesses and companies under one umbrella, offering a truly unified and international business platform.

In recognition of such international strength, the renowned international rating agency Standard and Poor’s has assigned Huatai International a “BBB+” rating (for long term) and “A-2” (for short-term).
