In addition to current product and services, the combined business will allow CIC clients to benefit from both Indosuez’s Hong Kong and global multi-booking centres as well as discretionary portfolio management, advisory mandates, private equity, wealth structuring and corporate solutions capabilities. With the acquisition of CIC, Indosuez will also add a 24-hour execution platform to its offering.

We are very pleased to welcome our new colleagues to the Indosuez family as we continue to expand in the high-growth Asian market.”
