CITIC Securities Co Ltd, China's biggest brokerage, is to regain a controlling stake of a top fund management company, according to a filing submitted by the company to Shanghai Stock Exchange on Wednesday.
CITIC Securities plans to spend up to 2 billion yuan ($325.97 million) to acquire a 10 percent stake in China Asset Management from State-owned Wuxi Guolian Development Group. The deal will give CITIC Securities 59 percent of China Asset Management, the securities firm said.
