Through a business agreement with Emperor Securities, Hana Securities said that Hong Kong VIP investors can now open Hana Securities accounts at Emperor Securities branch offices without visiting South Korea.
Services required for investing in Korean stocks, such as remittance and foreign exchange, are also available at Emperor Securities.
