Worldway Immigration Comprehensive Report: On the evening of December 4, major Chinese securities firm Haitong Securities Co., Ltd. issued an announcement stating that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Haitong International Holdings Limited, is in negotiations with Novo Banco, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as "Novo Banco") to reach an agreement on the potential acquisition of the entire share capital of Banco Espírito Santo de Investimento, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as "BESI"). Once this initiative is completed, it will further expand the areas of investment for Chinese enterprises and investors in Portugal, enhance the influence of Chinese capital in Portugal, and benefit Chinese investment immigration applicants.
Haitong Securities stated that an agreement has not yet been reached, and the completion of the acquisition is subject to multiple authorizations, such as approvals from the Bank of Portugal, relevant European Union institutions, competition regulatory bodies, and relevant Chinese regulatory authorities.
BESI provides various financial products and services in Portugal and several international regions, such as corporate finance, capital markets, project finance, private equity, and asset management. According to the BESI website, the company remains the largest investment bank in Portugal, with approximately 1,000 employees. It considers Europe its home market and has established branches in London, New York, and Hong Kong. Last year, the company's operating profit was 76 million euros, with a net profit of 7 million euros.
Chinese enterprises are increasingly venturing into investments in Portugal, which is a significant positive for Chinese applicants for Portugal investment immigration. This allows immigrants to better integrate into the local social and economic environment while enjoying high-quality European life and welfare benefits.
Worldway Immigration is the only Chinese enterprise to have established an independent branch in Portugal and has successfully assisted hundreds of Chinese investors in completing their investments in Portugal and obtaining Golden Residence Permits. Its Portuguese branch is located on the prosperous Avenida da Liberdade in the heart of Lisbon, providing clients with comprehensive services including real estate immigration consulting, inspection trips to Portugal, immigration application filing, post-purchase property management, and tax representation services.
