securities industry integration is expected

"For large-scale securities companies, there will be room for in-depth development in the strategic direction of building aircraft carrier level securities companies in the country," a person from securities companies told reporters

In recent years, with the accelerated opening of the financial market to the outside world, regulators have encouraged Chinese securities companies to become bigger and stronger, merge and restructure, and build aircraft carrier level securities companies.

In February this year, Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) completed A-share allotment financing of 22.396 billion yuan, setting a new high in the scale of allotment financing in the A-share securities industry. In March, Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) also successfully completed the financing of H-share allotment of HK $6.04 billion (equivalent to about 4.93 billion yuan), and the total financing scale of a + H-share allotment reached 27.33 billion yuan.

Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) said it planned to use no more than 19 billion yuan to develop the capital intermediary business, because the capital intermediary business is the business direction of the company in recent years, the business scale is in the leading position in the industry, and innovative capital intermediary businesses such as income swap and equity derivatives have become important business growth points of the company.

At the same time, Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) said that the allotment and fund-raising was conducive to building an aircraft carrier brokerage.

In 2021, Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) wealth management transformation achieved remarkable results. By the end of the reporting period, the number of customers had exceeded 12 million, and the asset scale of custody customers totaled 11 trillion yuan, an increase of 29% over the end of 2020. The number and asset scale of wealth customers and high net worth customers doubled compared with the end of 2018.

Western Securities Co.Ltd(002673) analyst Luo zuihui believes that Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) acquisition of Guangzhou securities makes up for the shortcomings of regional customer coverage and realizes the rapid accumulation of customer resources.

As the only securities company in China with assets exceeding trillion, Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) has maintained a development trend in recent years. From the perspective of business structure, the contribution of Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) various business income is relatively uniform.

In fact, under the background that the regulators proposed to encourage the creation of aircraft carrier securities companies through market-oriented M & A and other measures, the M & A integration of the securities industry accelerated. From China International Capital Corporation Limited(601995) M & A of CIC securities, Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) acquisition of Guangzhou securities, to the horizontal combination of Tianfeng Securities Co.Ltd(601162) and Hengtai securities, successful cases of M & A and reorganization of securities companies continue to emerge.

A person from a securities firm in South China said that in addition to capital increase and share allotment, the fastest path for China's aircraft carrier level securities firms is the merger of large securities firms and large securities firms, which is equivalent to the combination of strong and strong, followed by the merger of large securities firms and small securities firms.

However, some brokerage analysts believe that there is still a big gap between China's top brokerage and overseas brokerage in terms of capital scale and income structure.

Zhang Rongrong, rating director of Fitch Ratings Greater China non bank financial institutions, and Liu Yichen, CO director of Fitch Ratings Greater China non bank financial institutions, also said that China's securities industry will continue to integrate.
