UBS in China https://www.ubs.com › linklist › china-factsheet generates a PDF:
China is a key market for UBS. In 1964, UBS was the first Switzerland-based bank to establish a presence in the Asia Pacific region, primarily through its wealth management business. UBS has provided corporate finance advice to Chinese enterprises since 1985. UBS invested early in mainland China. Since 1989, its operations have expanded and now include a multi-entity domestic platform with a broad range of licenses. Its China strategy is to broaden the leadership position held by its investment bank and expand the wealth and asset management businesses by taking advantage of the opportunities that come from the ongoing wealth creation, market reform and globalization in China. UBS is well-positioned to grow its domestic wealth management business by levering on both UBS (China) Limited and UBS Securities. As a leading asset manager, UBS offers a broad range of onshore and offshore investment products and capabilities.
UBS consistently ranks top among international investment banks operating in China. In December 2018, UBS increased its shareholding in UBS Securities, its investment banking arm, to 51%, to become the first foreign financial institution to raise its stake and take majority control of a securities joint venture in China.
