The bridge between China and Germany

For private and institutional clients

The bridge between China and Germany

Since September 9, 2016, our bank has been majority-owned by Fosun International Limited. Together with Fosun, we facilitate Chinese clients' access to the German business sector and German clients' access to the China global market. Our China Desk department serves as a platform to develop cross-selling potentials between Germany and China. Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe has established a subsidiary in Shanghai and Nanjing and a representative partnership in Hong Kong to serve local wealth management, corporate finance and asset services needs in China. The focus is on the needs of private, corporate and institutional clients in China and Europe. In this context, Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe provides access to European markets. Thus, the China Desk forms a bridge between China and Germany.

Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe supports fund providers

Fund services

Until now, the distribution of fund products in Hong Kong and China was mainly the focus of large European or global fund providers. Today, we are all the more pleased to be the first medium-sized capital management company to announce the approval for public distribution of an in-house fund of our asset management partner H&A Global Investment Management (HAGIM) in Hong Kong.

Our subsidiary Hauck & Aufhäuser Fund Services S.A. (HAFS) is the first investment management company to now have a Luxembourg mutual fund approved for public distribution under the Mutual Recognition of Funds (MRF) between Hong Kong and Luxembourg, which has been in effect since January 2019. We owe this success to HAFS' successful collaboration with our own China Desk department, as well as support from Dechert LLP in Hong Kong and PwC Luxembourg.

In the future, our third-party fund partners will also benefit from our distribution network in Hong Kong. Specifically, we advise our clients on all organizational issues relating to the admission process of their fund and make our broad international distribution network available to them. The bank acts as an interface between the European and Asian capital markets.

We support you from the registration of your fund in Hong Kong to local fund distribution

Your advantages as partner of
Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe at a glance

Together we plan the approval process of your funds and accompany you during this time. You benefit from our network with renowned distribution partners in Hong Kong and through selected and experienced service providers - from their selection, the coordination and reconciliation of legal documents to the connection to relevant platforms and the organization of roadshows.

As the second largest fund location worldwide, Luxembourg has excellent expertise and offers fund initiators an innovative and rapidly developing financial environment. There are already a number of local institutions (e.g. Luxembourg for FinanceALFI fund association) that have an excellent network in Asia and are thus continuously expanding the relationship between Luxembourg as a financial centre and the Middle East. 

Our goal is to gradually expand our local sales network for institutional and retail investors. The network consisting of members of the "Fosun family" as well as external business partners of Fosun, banks and asset managers will be made available to our customers. In this way, we open up the opportunity for you to distribute your products in Hong Kong with our support. So far, only larger fund providers with their own product range are represented in this market. Hauck & Aufhäuser has excellent niche products and thus stands out from the crowd.

For professional clients

Asset management products

The fast-growing asset management market in China offers unique investment opportunities for foreign investors. The MSCI Emerging Market Index has increased its China weighting from 28% in 2017 to 34.02% in 2021 November. We also firmly believe that foreign investment will increase as China's financial market continues to open up. Therefore, Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe has established a so-called Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE) in Shanghai (Hauck Private Fund Management (Shanghai) Co.,Ltd.)  and plans to offer inbound and outbound asset management and wealth management products through the relevant licenses (Private Fund Management (PFM), Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) and Qualified Domestic Limited Partnership (QDLP))
