Accolades from Clients

As a financial advisor in the merger of Elantech Devices Corporation and our company, KGI Securities¡¦ rigorous quality control and professionalism brought about the successful consummation of the merger in October 2008.  This was another milestone for us, achieved with the invaluable assistance of KGI. 

Following a rights issuance in 2006, KGI Securities underwrote our third domestic unsecured convertible bonds issue in 2008, raising NT$1bn for the acquisition of machinery and equipment.  Based on our rollout schedule and financial structure, KGI designed optimum issue terms, which secured for us the required long-term working capital to boost operational profitability and ease interest expense pressure.  Its sophisticated services and long-term commitment to clients make KGI an investment bank we can depend on.  We are sure KGI Securities will remain one of our most important partners in the future.

KGI Securities is a veteran in the capital markets.  Guided by a client-centric approach, KGI supported our company¡¦s overseas rights issuance, planning and processing the issuing of financial bonds.  It has also served as a valued consultant to us from time to time in recent years.  KGI Securities¡¦ familiarity with domestic and overseas regulations and insight into the dynamic nature of the capital markets has served us well.  As a financial and fund-raising planner, KGI Securities is the best partner we could wish for.

Guided by its principle to provide innovative and professional services, KGI Securities suggested financial products designed to increase our profits with controlled and reasonable risk.  Its global reach ensured we had the most updated information from around the world to help us navigate the choppy waters of the financial markets.  We recommend KGI Securities as a brokerage firm that any company can trust.   

KGI Securities is deeply knowledgeable of the derivatives business and always keeps its ear close to the pulse of the markets.  By providing tailor-made, total solutions, KGI Securities helped to leverage our finances for maximum benefit.  In a dynamic and changing financial environment, we found we could rely on KGI¡¦s unerring professionalism in the proper utilization of funds.  All told, KGI Securities is the best choice for financial management and planning.

While mulling over various options and completing our subordinated debt issuance, KGI Securities provided us with invaluable research on the economy and fixed income market, and offered suggestions relating to regulations, timing of the issuance, price setting and selling strategies.  In short, KGI Securities proved itself to be a highly resourceful partner in handling our bond related issues.
