Recently, the Hong Kong stock market for new listings has stirred up waves, as several Chinese-funded investment banks have announced their withdrawal from the role of overall coordinators for companies planning to go public. On March 8, Samart Information Group Co., Ltd. announced that Citic Securities Co., Ltd. and Citic Construction Investment (International) Financing Co., Ltd. have resigned as the company’s overall coordinators. Furthermore, on January 12 of this year, WeDoctor Holdings Limited also announced that CMB International Financing Ltd. is no longer the company’s overall coordinator. Industry insiders pointed out that with the rapid rebound in the number of IPOs in Hong Kong in recent years, Chinese-funded investment banks are becoming increasingly prudent in selecting and handling IPO projects, preferring to focus their limited resources on those “most promising transactions.” (Securities Times Network)
