Standard Life Aberdeen co-chief executive Martin Gilbert said: “China is a strategic focus for our global business, with a fast-growing economy and vast growth potential and opportunities.
“As the Chinese government continues to reform the financial services industry, we are excited to expand our onshore business to tap into the long-term investment opportunities.
“Building on our market-leading global capabilities, knowledge and expertise of international and domestic markets, we are committed to bringing diversified solutions to meet the evolving investment needs of Chinese investors. As we embark on this new chapter in our growth journey, we look to further support China’s effort in the liberalisation of its capital markets.”
