ASIA Records is proud to officially recognise ARC Group for achieving a significant continental milestone as the:
Most Nationally Diverse Client Base for NASDAQ Special Purpose Acquisition Company Listings by an Investment Bank
(SPAC sponsor clients from 17 countries: Malaysia, USA, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, Canada, Thailand, Germany, India, Nigeria, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Peru and New Zealand; 54 SPAC transactions; as of 2026).
This milestone reflects ARC Group’s strong international reach, capital markets expertise, and ability to support globally diverse clients in accessing one of the world’s leading stock exchanges. By contributing to the growth of SPAC transactions as an increasingly recognised pathway to public markets, ARC Group has established a new benchmark in cross-border investment banking excellence, client diversity, and international financial advisory leadership across Asia.
Connecting Asia with Global Capital Markets
Since its establishment in 2015, ARC Group has positioned itself as a globally connected investment bank deeply rooted in Asia while maintaining a broad international presence.
The firm has advised SPAC sponsor clients from 17 countries, demonstrating its ability to navigate complex multi-jurisdictional transactions while bridging Asian businesses with global capital ecosystems.
With involvement in 54 SPAC transactions, ARC Group continues to play an active role in supporting companies, sponsors, and institutional stakeholders seeking access to NASDAQ and international public markets.
Advancing Cross-Border Financial Advisory Excellence
The recognition highlights ARC Group’s capability to operate across multiple regulatory and financial environments while maintaining strong institutional relationships worldwide.
Its expertise spans IPO advisory, mergers and acquisitions, financing, SPAC advisory, asset management, and strategic consultancy—supported by a multinational team and a globally integrated operating model.
As global capital formation increasingly transcends geographic boundaries, ARC Group continues to position itself as a trusted cross-border advisor supporting strategic growth initiatives across Asia, the United States, Europe, and beyond.
A Milestone Moment of Acknowledgement
The ASIA Records certificate was officially presented on 7 May 2026 at EQ Kuala Lumpur in Equatorial Plaza, marking the formal recognition of this continental achievement.
The recognition was received on stage by Ian Hanna, Sergio Camarero, Crystal Zhang, Abraham Cinta, Paul Chong, and Carlos Lopez, all Partners of ARC Group, representing the firm’s international leadership team and its continued commitment to advancing cross-border investment banking excellence across global capital markets.
Voices of Leadership
Reflecting on the recognition, Paul Chong, Partner of ARC Group, shared:
“This achievement underscores the increasingly international nature of today’s capital markets and reinforces ARC Group’s position as a trusted cross-border advisor connecting Asia with global financial ecosystems.
As capital formation continues to evolve beyond geographic boundaries, ARC Group remains committed to supporting founders, sponsors, and institutional partners through complex public market transactions and strategic growth initiatives across multiple jurisdictions.
