CDFH is committed to developing into a leading industrial and investment bank in the region.

In respect of investment banking, we have completed 193 underwriting exercises over the past 20 years, representing an overall market share of 15% that makes us the first ranking player. As a perennial leader among Taiwanese securities houses and investment banks, we were named the "Best Domestic Investment Bank in Taiwan" in both 2002 and 2003 by several international acclaimed financial magazines, including The Asset, Finance Asia and Asiamoney.

With a view to further expand its investment banking operations and to combine the niche of other operations, CDFH set up a dedicated investment banking department in early 2006 to oversee the expansion of our investment banking operations, supervise relevant business development of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and conduct cross-functional business integration in association with other departments, with the aim to provide customers with professional investment banking services of the highest standard.

Major services provided by our investment banking business include:

In 2008, to match up with the government's policy-to courage the Taiwanese holding companies to return to Taiwan stock market and list their stocks in Taiwan stock market, subsidiary GCSC has successfully file the TDR application to Taiwan Exchange Company for Want Want China Holding which lists their stocks in Hong Kong Exchange. Meanwhile, subsidiary Grand Cathay Hong Kong has obtained the qualification of being a sponsor from Hong Kong Exchange. We will continue to vigorously expand our customer base, aiming to serve "zealously and passionately like a Taiwanese house and professionally and efficiently like a foreign firm" .
