Driven by growing cross-border trade and traffic, Hong Kong brokerages have gained increasing recognition by mainland investors in recent years. The “Most Popular Brokerage Firms in Hong Kong 2010” awards not only honor firms for their contribution to Hong Kong’s financial industry, but also serve as a guideline for investors seeking investment in the territory. 
 
In November 2010, Everbright and Everbright Securities began discussion on the proposed injection of 51% of Everbright’s brokerage and investment banking business into Everbright Securities. Everbright and Everbright Securities believe that their cooperation will create more business opportunities by further strengthening the securities, wealth management, investment banking and research businesses in Hong Kong.
