Hong Kong’s best derivatives house 2026: Huatai United Securities

Huatai United Securities’ Hong Kong operation delivered both substantial derivatives flow and practical cross-border solutions during the review period. Its OTC swaps and derivatives volume exceeded $365 billion in 2025, driven largely by northbound business, demonstrating the scale of its role in connecting international investors with China.

Its strongest differentiator was the use of derivatives to solve problems that conventional market access could not easily answer. During the 2025 revival in Hong Kong listings, Huatai was among the first dealers to facilitate cornerstone participation through cross-border total return swaps.
