Their shares are actively traded and are all well known in the investment community.

SCH was established in 1988 by three reputable investment experts and a strategic partner, Lee Hing Development Limited. The registered capital was HK$20million. In the beginning, the Group provided stocks, sutures, gold and foreign exchange trading, merchant banking, investment advisory and other financial services through our flagship company, South China Brokerage. Our quality service and prudent management gained customer trust and reliance in a short period of time and the company was listed in 1993. The Group's services also extend to various overseas markets, e.g. Taiwan, Southeast Asia and the United Kingdom.
