Bulge Bracket Singapore IBD vs Hong Kong IBD

Which one is more attractive now given Hong Kong's situation? Can any senior give some insights regarding the comparisons between these 2 other than just the geography coverage? For example which focus more on ECM, DCM or M&A? Which has more deals? Any other interesting differences? Thanks for your time. Truly appreciate it from a freshie.

 

HK was and always will be the biggest financial hub in Asia.

 

Hong Kong is still the APAC hub. No investment banks are going to leave Hong Kong over the national security law, imagine what message that sends to the Chinese government. Chinese state media has already been threatening HSBC to voice public support for the law. If any bank shows public objection, they will be shut out from the China market forever.
