HKEX opens New York office
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) announces the opening of its New York office, expanding the exchange group’s international footprint and supporting its growing global client base.
Headed by Roger McAvoy, Managing Director and Head of Business Development, North America, the New York office will provide an on-the-ground dedicated team for HKEX’s North American customers. The new office will promote HKEX’s liquid primary and secondary cash markets, its exclusive connectivity with Mainland China’s markets and its diverse suite of derivatives, which together constitute Asia Pacific’s most comprehensive financial market ecosystem.
In his new role, Mr McAvoy will continue to report to HKEX Co-Head of Sales and Marketing, Kevin Rideout.
HKEX Chief Executive Officer Nicolas Aguzin said:
“I am delighted Roger will be leading our engagement in North America, having already done exemplary work in building our franchise in Southeast Asia over the past five years as head of our Singapore office. I have every confidence that he, together with the broader HKEX team, will be successful in supporting our global customers and driving new investors and companies to Hong Kong, the region’s premier international financial centre.”
Operating as HKEX (U.S.) LLC, the New York office will build out its team over the coming months, making it easier for HKEX to connect with investors, market participants and their intermediaries during their own working day and enabling the group to build stronger relationships with its regional clients. The new New York office will complement HKEX’s existing international reach from its offices in Shanghai, Beijing, and Singapore.
HKEX is also continuing with its plans to open a European office.
