Company Profile

BOC International Holdings Limited (BOCI) is the sole wholly owned overseas investment banking platform of Bank of China. Established in March 1979, it was the first company of BOC with comprehensive operations and the earliest overseas Chinese-funded investment bank. Since its inception, BOCI has leveraged the rich financial heritage of BOC, establishing a presence in major financial centers such as China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, London, and Singapore. Through integration and collaborative operations with BOC's global business network, BOCI provides clients with a comprehensive range of global investment banking products and services, including equity issuance, mergers and acquisitions, bond issuance, fixed income, direct investment, global commodities, asset management, equity derivatives, and leveraged and structured financing.

Over the past five years, BOCI has consistently ranked first among Chinese bank-affiliated peers in net income and post-tax profits. It holds the top position in the Hong Kong stock brokerage market, the Mandatory Provident Fund market, and overseas bond underwriting capabilities among its Chinese peers. BOCI is also one of the top three companies with an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) in the Hong Kong market. The company has received multiple international awards from authoritative institutions such as Bloomberg Businessweek and International Financial Review Asia for several consecutive years. In 2025, BOCI received an A rating from Fitch, the highest among its Chinese peers. It also holds a Baa3 issuer credit rating from Moody's, the highest for non-bank Chinese subsidiaries in the Hong Kong SAR, and is the only investment-grade issuer credit rating. Additionally, BOCI holds a long-term issuer rating of A2 (stable outlook) from Moody's, the highest among its Chinese peers.

BOCI plays an active role in supporting Chinese enterprises to integrate into global markets. Leveraging BOC’s global operational footprint and diversified business collaboration platform, BOCI has developed a comprehensive service system covering the entire corporate life cycle — delivering clients “one-point access, global response, and professional efficiency” financial solutions. In the Hong Kong IPO market, BOCI has successfully assisted more than 500 Chinese mainland enterprises to list in Hong Kong, with cumulative offshore financing exceeding $300 billion. Its leading track record spans landmark projects and industry leaders such as Tsingtao Brewery, CR Beverage, Hengrui Pharma, and Foshan Haitian Flavoring & Food. In the bond market, BOCI offers an integrated service chain covering credit rating advisory, bond issuance, market-making, sales support, and professional research. It has undertaken numerous benchmark transactions, including 4 billion yuan ($565.78 million) worth of dim sum bonds for State Grid Corporation of China, multi-currency bonds equivalent to $7 billion for Airport Authority Hong Kong, $1 billion green preferred shares for State Power Investment Corporation, and $300 million convertible bonds for China Hongqiao Group. As a leading player in promoting renminbi internationalization, BOCI has successfully completed multiple major offshore RMB bond issuances, injecting fresh momentum into the global use of RMB. It was the only Chinese investment bank to participate in the historic Saudi Aramco IPO — the largest in the world — setting a benchmark for financial services to the real economy in the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative. In the commodities business, BOCI was the first Chinese financial institution to successfully engage in global commodities trading, and the first to obtain clearing membership at both the London Metal Exchange (LME) and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). Its business scope spans over-the-counter trading, commodity futures brokerage, clearing, and financing, offering clients a diversified, one-stop global commodities service platform connected to major exchanges worldwide. BOCI’s research team has long ranked among the top in leading financial publications, delivering comprehensive, in-depth, and insightful analysis for clients.

On its new journey, BOCI will continue to fully and faithfully implement China’s new development philosophy, align its strategies with national priorities, and advance its own high-quality growth. Anchored in Hong Kong, BOCI is committed to building itself into a leading Chinese investment bank with strong global competitiveness — making greater contributions to BOC’s global strategy and to advancing the great cause of national rejuvenation through Chinese modernization.
