Dongxing Securities
A Chinese investment bank and brokerage firm established through the restructuring of part of China Orient Asset Management's business.
Last updated August 31, 2026
Overview
Dongxing Securities Co., Ltd. is a Chinese investment bank and brokerage firm. It was established in 2008 when China Orient Asset Management spun off part of its business to create a separate securities company. The firm's formation gave China Orient an asset-management-related platform operating in the securities sector and shaped Dongxing Securities' later identity as an asset-management-based securities firm. Dongxing Securities pursued a public listing during the early 2010s. In 2012, it submitted an initial public offering application to the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The application was approved in May of that year, but the company could not immediately complete the listing because new stock issuances in China's domestic market were suspended. The eventual listing took place on 26 February 2015 on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. It was described as the first A-share listing by an asset-management-based securities firm. As a listed Chinese securities institution, Dongxing Securities operates across investment-banking and brokerage activities. Its business scope is associated with securities services rather than with a consumer-facing product portfolio. Public reference material identifies the company broadly as an investment bank and brokerage firm, while the available material does not provide a complete breakdown of its current divisions, branch network, customer assets, revenue mix, or detailed service catalogue. Accordingly, its principal offering categories can be described at a high level as securities brokerage and investment-banking services. Dongxing Securities also achieved inclusion in major Chinese equity indexes. It became a constituent of the SSE 50 Index on 28 November 2016 and was also a constituent of the CSI 100 Index. These index inclusions reflected its position as a publicly traded securities company within China's financial market, although index membership can change over time and should not be treated as a permanent status. The company's public credit or regulatory classification has included a Class A rating. Reference material states that Dongxing Securities retained a Class A rating in 2021, the same classification reported for 2020. No detailed rating methodology or current classification is provided in the supplied material. Dongxing Securities is therefore best understood as a China-focused corporate financial-services brand whose historical development is closely connected with China Orient Asset Management, its 2015 Shanghai listing, and its participation in China's domestic capital markets. The supplied sources do not establish a separate international operating footprint, a current parent-company structure beyond the historical China Orient connection, a current executive roster, or a current official website URL.
History
Dongxing Securities was created in 2008 through the spin-off of part of China Orient Asset Management's business. Its origins distinguish it from securities firms established independently of an asset-management group and explain the description of Dongxing as an asset-management-based securities firm. From its formation, the company operated as a Chinese financial institution focused on securities-market activities, including brokerage and investment banking. The company began the process of seeking a domestic public listing in 2012, when it submitted an IPO application to the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The application received approval in May of that year. Approval did not immediately lead to a flotation, however, because China's new-share issuance process was suspended. The delay meant that Dongxing Securities remained privately held for a further period despite having regulatory approval for its offering. Dongxing Securities ultimately completed its Shanghai Stock Exchange listing on 26 February 2015. The listing was characterized in the available reference material as the first A-share listing by an asset-management-based securities firm. The transaction transformed Dongxing into a publicly traded securities company and provided the market with a listed institution linked historically to China Orient Asset Management. After listing, the company became part of important Chinese equity-index groupings. It entered the SSE 50 Index on 28 November 2016 and was also included in the CSI 100 Index. Such inclusion placed the company among selected publicly traded Chinese companies represented by those indexes, although index composition is subject to periodic review and may change. The available reference material gives only a high-level account of Dongxing Securities' operating activities. It identifies the company as an investment bank and brokerage firm but does not provide enough information to reconstruct a detailed chronology of business expansions, acquisitions, branch openings, product launches, or changes in ownership. It also does not supply a verified current executive list, current headquarters address, official website URL, stock ticker, or detailed financial performance data. The same material reports that Dongxing Securities held a Class A rating and maintained the same rating in 2021 as in 2020. This indicates continuity in the cited regulatory or industry classification during that period, but the source does not identify the rating framework in sufficient detail to support a more specific interpretation. The documented history of Dongxing Securities is consequently centered on four developments: its 2008 creation from China Orient Asset Management-related operations; its delayed but approved 2012 IPO application; its eventual Shanghai listing in 2015; and its subsequent presence in major Chinese stock indexes. Beyond these milestones, the supplied sources support a general description of a China-focused investment bank and brokerage firm but not a more granular account of its current corporate structure or operating performance.
