SK Securities, one of the leading domestic brokerage houses, said Thursday that the Seoul-based outfit had sealed a strategic alliance early this week with AKTIS Capital Advisory, a private equity fund in Hong Kong. Under a memorandum of understanding, SK Securities plans to tap into the Chinese market, particularly the mid-west regions, with the supports of AKTIS that has a license for foreign exchange transactions in China.

ˇ§Typically, we have to undergo complicated procedures related to foreign exchange in order to do business in China. But the partnership with AKTIS will address the problems,ˇ¦ˇ¦ an SK Securities official said. SK Securities has made efforts to enter overseas markets. It established SK Securities Investment Asia this February aimed at markets in China and other Asian nations. | |
