Jun He and Commerce & Finance together with their international counterparts have recently helped China Liansu successfully launch its US$250m IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE) despite the market’s dry spell. Many other Chinese companies like Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology have recently chosen to abort their listing plans. Goldwind, which is listed in Shenzhen, said it scrapped the Hong Kong sale due to the deterioration in market conditions and recent unexpected and excessive market volatility.
The Hong Kong stock market has fallen about 10% since mid-April amid fears about the Europe economy. Liansu however, managed to hold its ground by raising around US$250m.
Jun He also recently helped NVC Lighting launch its US$196m IPO on the HKSE amidst difficult market conditions.
