MASON SECURITIES

Mason Group Holdings Limited (“MGHL”), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, provides a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions and individuals in Hong Kong. Such services include the provision of dealing in securities, futures, options trading services; margin financing, leverage & acquisition financing, corporate finance, wealth management, asset management, strategic & direct investment and market research services.

Aside from the above, MGHL has endeavored in developing its presence in Mainland China. In March 2016, MGHL formed a Sino-foreign joint-venture with a number of well-established financial institutions in setting up Shengang Securities Company Limited (“Shengang Securities”), a financial institution incorporated in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone with a registered capital of RMB 3.5 billion. Shengang Securities is the first Sino-foreign financial institution approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) under the Mainland Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (“CEPA”) framework to grant a license for carrying out multi securities-related businesses in the PRC. Such license can be extended to a full license upon reaching the first anniversary of the establishment of Shengang Securities. The amount of capital contribution paid by MGHL amounted to a total of RMB525 million which makes up of 15% of the total shareholding, making MGHL one of the largest shareholders of Shengang Securities. Shengang Securities is considered to be one of the most important milestones for MGHL in establishing its reach in China.

MGHL shall continue to expand its presence in the financial services sector. Apart from the promotion and refinement of existing financial services currently offered by MGHL, MGHL shall develop a diversified financial platform through the provision of a more diversified range of financial products; ultimately leading MGHL towards achieving its goal as becoming a globalized financial institution.
