UOB Investment Banker Joins Chinese Brokerage

The experienced equity brokerage and investment banker will head up Haitong Securities’ corporate finance team in Singapore.

UOB’s former head of equity capital markets (ECM) Jack Kang has joined Haitong International Securities (Singapore) as an executive director.

Kang, who moved to Haitong in July, spent 11 years at UOB. He was previously ECM vice president at CIMB Securities, and ECM head at Phillip Securities.

The publication noted the demand for investment bankers in Singapore, especially those with experience in the tech sector, amid a surge in deals, as well as a rapid expansion of Chinese firms in the city-state.

We are expanding cautiously in line with business needs, Kang said.
