Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Shanghai, China, the company operates primarily in the securities and investment banking sectors, serving retail investors, corporations, and institutional clients across Asia with a focus on integrated financial solutions.
In a major strategic development, the company completed its merger with Haitong Securities Co., Ltd. in early 2025 through an absorption and share exchange transaction valued at approximately CNY 100 billion, following a binding agreement signed on September 5, 2024, and subsequent regulatory approvals including from the Shanghai SASAC, PRC anti-trust authorities, and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission. This merger of equals, accompanied by ancillary fundraising via new A-share issuance, positions the enlarged entity as a leading player in China's brokerage industry and prompted the name change to Guotai Haitong Securities Co., Ltd. in April 2025. Additionally, in July 2025, the company entered a strategic cooperation agreement with M&G Investments to provide global investment opportunities for Chinese investors.
