The Anglo Chinese Group

What The Anglo Chinese Group does

The Anglo Chinese Group is a privately held, founder-led independent corporate finance advisory firm established in 1988 and headquartered in Central, Hong Kong. The firm operates through five offices in Hong Kong, London, Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, and is licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong. It serves publicly traded companies (claiming over 100 listed Hong Kong companies as clients), multinational corporations, and prominent families across Greater China and internationally, providing services spanning classic corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring and liability management, capital raising, litigation support, valuations, fairness opinions, corporate intelligence, real estate advisory, and investigation services.

The firm's core technology is its human-capital-driven advisory and proprietary investigative capability, delivered through a multi-entity platform that includes Anglo Chinese Corporate Finance, Anglo Chinese Securities, Anglo Chinese Research, and an Investigations Inc. subsidiary that performs intelligence gathering, due diligence, and expert witness work. Senior directors are directly involved in every transaction, and the firm emphasizes independence, conflict-free advice, and multilingual capability in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Its go-to-market is referral-based and relationship-driven, relying on its 37-year track record and word-of-mouth from existing clients, law firms, and professional networks rather than marketing-led demand generation. The firm is currently navigating a generational transition, with three senior practitioners having moved to Senior Adviser roles between 2019 and 2024 and a new Beijing hire and London office re-establishment in 2024-2025 signaling continued, measured geographic expansion.
