Leadership

In the United States, New York Global Group has a single focus: acting as a liaison between the international capital markets and Asian-based clients. We assist clients in several key areas – including introduction of strategic relationships, introduction of relations with duly licensed U.S. investment banking firms, facilitate efficient communications with global institutional investors and general communications from Asia to the U.S. Our U.S. arm is not, and does not act, as a broker-dealer or investment advisor.
