Founder Securities

Founder Securities (方正证券股份有限公司) is a Chinese securities company whose business spans retail and institutional financial services. The company describes itself as one of China’s first comprehensive securities firms and as an early member of both the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges. Its corporate profile states that it converted into a joint-stock company in 2010 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2011 under code 601901. Its services cover securities trading and brokerage, investment banking, asset management, securities investment, research and investment consulting, margin financing and securities lending, institutional sales and trading, bond services, futures intermediary services, and distribution of financial products. The company also provides investor advisory services, trading software and online account-opening and servicing channels. Its website organizes services for both individual and institutional customers, alongside investor education and protection resources. Founder Securities operates through a network of branches and subsidiaries and has affiliated offerings in areas including futures, investment, fund management, securities underwriting and sponsorship, and Hong Kong financial services. Its corporate website presents the company as focused on providing customers with trading, financing and investment, and wealth-management services. The company’s stated mission is to use financial services to contribute to a better life, and its stated vision is to become an investment bank trusted by customers. The brand is active in China’s securities and wealth-management market. It is publicly listed in Shanghai. The supplied official website identifies the legal company as Founder Securities Co., Ltd., but does not establish current ultimate ownership, a named founder, or current executives; those details are therefore not specified here.

Founder Securities presents itself as one of China’s first comprehensive securities firms and an early member of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges. Its roots date to 1988. Over time, its business developed beyond securities brokerage to encompass investment banking, asset management, research and investment consulting, institutional services, futures-related intermediary business, and distribution of financial products. A major corporate milestone came in 2010, when the company converted into a joint-stock company. In 2011 it listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange as 601901. The listing established Founder Securities as a publicly traded securities company and made its shares accessible to public-market investors. The company’s present-day service model combines physical branches and online channels. Its website provides routes to account opening, online trading, mobile and desktop software, customer support, investment advisory services, institutional business, asset management, and investment-banking services. It also publishes investor information and materials concerning account procedures, trading rules, fees, product and service risk levels, and investor protection. The website identifies research coverage that includes macroeconomic, strategy, fixed-income, industry, company, quantitative-finance, and market research. Founder Securities’ corporate network includes businesses presented on its website under related names for securities underwriting and sponsorship, futures, investment, fund management, Hong Kong financial services, and public-benefit activity. These references show a broader group of affiliated financial offerings, but the supplied material does not establish the current ownership structure or the precise legal relationship of every listed affiliate. The company continues to describe its role in terms of providing customers with trading, investment and financing, and wealth-management services. It states a mission of using financial services to contribute to a better life and a vision of becoming an investment bank trusted by customers. The evidence supplied for this dossier confirms its identity, main service categories, historical corporate conversion, and stock-exchange listing, but does not provide a named founder, current executives, detailed ownership information, or a supported account of later mergers or acquisitions.
