CITIC Securities Selects GoldenSource 360 EDM Platform to Support Growth

NEW YORK and BEIJING, April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

CITIC Securities, a leading international investment bank based in China, has selected
GoldenSource [http://www.360edm.com ] as their core enterprise data management (EDM)
platform. As part of a strategic middle and back office infrastructure initiative, CITIC
Securities is launching the first data management phase with GoldenSource Securities &
Products as the security reference data platform.

“We recognize integrated EDM as a critical underpinning to growing current operations
as well as enabling us to manage both Chinese domestic market data and international
market data in support of our growing Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII)
business,” said Paulson Wang, vice president at CITIC Securities. “The GoldenSource 360
EDM platform has proven scalability across multiple lines of business, geographies, and
products, which was ideal to support our aggressive growth plans.”

CITIC Securities’ best-of-breed approach places an emphasis on data management as a
foundational layer. With this implementation, the firm will increase
straight-through-processing automation, improve risk management through more robust
central management, and enhance decision making with timely, quality data.

“We are mindful that China has the highest total banking post-tax profits in the
world; however, with the advent of QDII, there are many operational challenges Chinese
institutions are struggling to deal with,” said Neill Vanlint, managing director of EMEA
and APAC at GoldenSource. “CITIC Securities is part of a quickly growing group of leading
Chinese financial institutions who are adopting standardized reference data repositories
to solve performance, risk and customer reporting related issues. Establishing a strong
presence in China with a local delivery capability has enabled us to earn the trust of
Chinese institutions that need to scale and support increasing volumes.”

“Earning this mandate from CITIC Securities underscores our leadership position in
China, and aligns with other GoldenSource initiatives in more established markets,” adds
Mike Meriton, president and CEO of GoldenSource. “CITIC Securities is the third financial
institution to select GoldenSource EDM in China, adding to two leading asset management
firms in the country. We have established a permanent presence in Beijing, and are
continuing to invest in this fast growing market.”
