Deutsche regains HK sponsor licence in ECM return

Deutsche Bank has regained its licence to sponsor IPOs in Hong Kong after a series of senior hires that appear to have put it back into the equity capital markets (ECM) picture in Asia, two years after much of that business was pared back.

The website of Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission shows Deutsche Securities Asia Limited back among the list of sponsors with an effective date of September 1. It lists the principals as Albert Chang, Derek Chung and Ian Long.
