Ernest Maude Continental Investments Limited ("Ernest Maude") are extremely pleased to announce the agreement with Barclay Carrigan International (HK) Ltd ("BCI") for the ongoing servicing for all of BCI's clients in the Far East (Hong Kong, China and Vietnam).
Being based in Hong Kong since 1993, we at Ernest Maude see this as an ideal match as we are well placed to service the international community being fully licensed through both the relevant Hong Kong Confederation of Insurance Brokers and Mandatory Provident Fund Authority regulators as well as having a sister company directly regulated by the Securities and Futures Commission.
When asked to comment, the Managing Director of Ernest Maude Andrew Eden said:-
"We see this as a great opportunity bringing the vast array of services at our fingertips to a quality pool of clients based around the region".

The AFP View of the 2008/2009 Hong Kong Budget
Strong economy, further tax concessions, commitments to long term improvements and time for a celebratory drink!
With the benefit of strong economic growth in 2007 the Hong Kong government now has a significant surplus to allocate and the budget announced today by the Financial Secretary, Mr. John Tsang, set out their intentions and aspirations. Some of the key announcements were:
· Major expenditure on infrastructure development and the additional intention to build a new runway at HKIA and a tenth sea container terminal were announced.
· Plans to increase the land supply and re-site government offices outside the central business district were announced in recognition of the shortage of supply and high prices of commercial and residential accommodation.
· There were also announcements that both the Companies Ordinance and Trustees Ordinance would be reviewed to simplify the rules whilst preserving proper legal and regulatory protection.
· Visitors to Hong Kong will be delighted to hear that more hotel developments are being encouraged and hotel tax removed.
· Smaller concessions were made to welfare, environmental and health care improvements. Special emphasis has been placed on reducing air pollution, with tax concessions on green vehicles and machinery.
Despite the government showing clear awareness of competition from other territories we are of the opinion that more could have been done for businesses, especially in the financial services sector. We had hoped to see initiatives such as reductions or removal of stamp duty on the transfer of Hong Kong stock, incentives for the capital market, fund management and trust administration sectors, but the budget was silent on these points.
Nevertheless, when one considers the situation in Hong Kong relative to London or New York, for example, Hong Kong looks far more attractive as a place to do business, economically, geographically and commercially. Read More
