Book Chinese Companies and the Hong Kong Stock Market

Download or read book Chinese Companies and the Hong Kong Stock Market written by Flora Xiao Huang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listing by companies from one country on the stock market of another country is a device often used both to raise capital in, and to increase bonding with, the target country. This book examines the listing by Chinese companies on the Hong Kong stock market. It discusses the extent of the phenomenon, compares the two different regulatory regimes, and explores the motivations for the cross-listing. It argues that a key factor, in addition to raising capital and bonding with the Hong Kong market, is Chinese companies’ desire to encourage legal and regulatory reforms along Hong Kong lines in mainland China, in order to develop and open up China’s domestic capital markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking guide, former investment banker Philippe Espinasse explains the process of gathering cornerstone investors in connection with IPOs and other equity offerings. Using his trademark simple and jargon-free language, he details the targeting strategies, documentation, marketing, and allocation of shares and other securities to these reference shareholders, and analyses why and how they make or break today’s new listings across Asia’s key markets. This essential guide—and the first of its kind—contains key information on the legal framework for cornerstone investors in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore, and offers practical advice on how best to structure and conduct a cornerstone investor offering. It also discusses some of the more controversial issues associated with the practice of cornerstone investment and includes many real-life examples of cornerstone deals, sample documents, cornerstone investor profiles, an investor target list, and a comprehensive glossary. ‘There is no better person to shed light on the opaque world of cornerstone investing in Asian IPOs. Philippe Espinasse writes clearly, substantively, and expertly.’ —Jasper Moiseiwitsch, Asia companies and markets news editor, Financial Times ‘As engaging as it is informative. Espinasse has cut through legalese and jargon to create a pragmatic overview of this widely misunderstood, and distinctly Asian, investment banking concept. Packed with recent examples, this book doesn’t just teach you about cornerstones; it also provides an insider’s take of the region’s capital markets hubs.’ —Danielle Myles, capital markets editor, The Banker ‘Cornerstone investors have taken centre stage in Hong Kong’s IPO market. This book is needed now more than ever.’ —Matthew Thomas, Asia bureau chief, Euromoney Institutional Investor

This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the global financial turbulence, the Mutual Market Access (MMA) programme, comprising the Shanghai Connect, the Shenzhen Connect and the Bond Connect, has solidified Hong Kong’s status as a unique financial hub connecting the East and the West and, in this process, has explored a new path for the opening-up of China’s capital market. In the face of economic structural changes across the globe, Hong Kong seeks to look into innovations in financing the new economy, and has built up experiences for reference in the Asian time zone. Hong Kong is gradually establishing a new ecosystem around new-economy enterprises and has made them new targets of investment for both Mainland and overseas investors trading under MMA. This book is the first bilingual title in the market that explains in detail the MMA model between Hong Kong and Mainland China and innovations in new-economy financing, in which experts and research teams who are experienced in these areas discuss in-depth on the key functional drivers of innovations in Hong Kong and the Mainland, including the “MMA”, “new-economy financing” and “global asset allocation”. Elaborating the unique concepts of the MMA model and summarising what HKEX has learned in its reforms in new-economy financing, this book shall come in handy for market participants to make better use of the MMA model and benefit from the latest reforms of Hong Kong’s listing regime. 透過「互聯互通」框架,利用香港上市融資優勢,接軌國際金融市場 市場上首本深入闡述內地與香港「互聯互通」和新經濟融資創新的中、英雙語著作 國際金融環境動蕩,以「滬港通」、「深港通」和「債券通」為代表的互聯互通機制,奠定了香港連接東西的獨特金融樞紐地位,也為中國資本市場的對外開放探索出一條新路徑。 全球經濟結構面臨轉型,香港在新經濟融資創新方面不斷探索,積累了亞洲時區可供參考的經驗,促進香港市場逐步形成圍繞新經濟企業的新生態圈,為參與「互聯互通」的海內外投資者提供了新的標的。 本書是市場上第一本深入闡述香港與內地的互聯互通和新經濟融資創新的中、英雙語著作,由在相關領域具有豐富業務經驗的專業人士和研究力量,圍繞近年來促進香港和內地金融業開放創新的最關鍵動能:「互聯互通」、「新經濟融資」、「全球資產配置」展開深入討論,系統梳理互聯互通的獨特設計理念,總結香港交易所新經濟融資的改革探索經驗,為市場參與者更好地把握「互聯互通」和新上市制度改革帶來的制度紅利,提供系統的專業研究支持。 序——在國際大變局中探索香港的獨特戰略定位 李小加 香港交易所 集團行政總裁 Preface –Exploring Hong Kong’s Unique Strategic Positioning in the Face of International Changes Charles Li Chief Executive, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited 第一篇——互聯互通與新經濟融資的新趨勢 Part I – The New Trend of Connectivity and New-Economy Financing 第1章—互聯互通:香港成為連接中國與世界的金融樞紐 Chapter 1 – Mutual Market Access: Hong Kong as a Financial Hub Connecting China and the World 李小加 香港交易所 集團行政總裁 Charles Li Chief Executive, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited 第2章—新經濟融資創新與香港的探索 Chapter 2 – Financing Innocation for the New Economy and Hong Kong’s Explorations 陸挺 野村國際(香港)休閒公司 環球市場部 中國經濟學家 Ting Lu Chief China Economist, Global Markets, Nomura International (Hong Kong) Limited 王立升 野村國際(香港)休閒公司 環球市場部 中國經濟學家 Lisheng Wang China Economist, Global Markets, Nomura International (Hong Kong) Limited 王競 野村國際(香港)休閒公司 環球市場部 中國經濟學家 Jing Wang China Economist, Global Markets, Nomura International (Hong Kong) Limited 第3章—互聯互通開啟中國資本市場新紀元 Chapter 3 – Stock Connect Ushers in a New Era for China’s Capital Market 洪灝 交銀國際控股有限公司 研究部主管兼董事總經理 Hau Hong Head of Research and Managing Director, BOCOM International Holdings Company Limited 第二篇——新經濟公司的上市制度改革和融資創新 Part II–The Listing Reform and Financing Innovation for New-Economy Companies 第4章—香港聯交所的新股上市流程和重點 Chapter 4 – Initial Public Offering (IPO) and Listing Process on the SEHK with Highlights 香港交易所 首席中國經濟學家辦公室及環球上市服務部 Chief China Economist’s Office and Global Issuer Services, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited 第5章—香港的新股上市制度改革與突破 Chapter 5 – Reform and Breakthrough of Hong Kong’s Listing Regime 香港交易所 首席中國經濟學家辦公室及環球上市服務部 Chief China Economist’s Office and Global Issuer Services, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited 第6章—雙重股權架構的香港實踐 Chapter 6 – The Practice of Dual-Class Share Structure in Hong Kong 香港交易所 首席中國經濟學家辦公室 Chief China Economist’s Office, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited 第7章—同股不同權:對投資者是好?是壞?
