The UK-headquartered organisation said Asia remains one of its most dynamic regions, while its Asia counterpart makes use of the investment expertise of M&G.

M&G Investments and Guotai Haitong Securities have signed a pact to expand Chinese investors’ access to global markets. 

The collaboration combines M&G’s global investment expertise with Guotai Haitong Securities’ position in China. The firms said the agreement will provide growth opportunities for both companies in the rapidly-evolving wealth management landscape.

The pact focuses on four areas: information sharing, asset management development, client engagement and investment market promotion. It also paves the way for collaboration in investment research, product innovation, and global distribution. 

The firms are working on a co-branded Asia-focused fixed income solution, with the launch targeted for the coming months. 

Other initiatives being considered include Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII)-eligible products and investment advisory and distribution arrangements, the businesses said.

“Asia remains one of the most dynamic and fast-growing regions globally, offering significant opportunities for active managers to generate long-term value,” Joseph Pinto, CEO, M&G Investments, said.
