The Pacific Securities was founded in 2004 and received the clients of bankrupted Yunnan Securities. In April 2007 it was converted to company limited by shares, with a nominal value of CN¥1 each.

It was reported that Xiao Jianhua was behind the operation on listing the company to Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2007. Irregularity was founded after, by-then vice-governor of China Development Bank, Wang Yi (Chinese: 王益) was arrested. Wang was the vice-chairman of China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) until 1999.

In December 2007, the largest shareholder of the Pacific Securities was the consortium of Beijing Ximeng Real Estate (13.34%), Beijing Huaxin Liuhe Investment (13.20%), China Foreign Economy and Trade Trust (FOTIC, 10.00%), UOB Mainland Investment (6.67%), Yunnan State-Owned Assets Management (3.33%) and CMST Development (SSE: 600787, 3.33%). The Pacific Securities also exchanged its shares with the shares of Unida (former code SSE: 600181), a company delisted in 2007. Other major shareholders were Puhua Investment (10.00%), Taishan Xiangsheng (10.00%), "China Energy Development Electricity (Group)" (6.67%) and "Heilongjiang Century Huarong Investment Management" (5.77%) Those shareholders owned 82.31% shares, with 36 months restriction to sell.

The consortium owned 39.88% shares of the company as the largest shareholder, as well as the chairman of the Pacific Securities, Zheng Yanan (Chinese: 郑亚南), was also the chairman of UOB Mainland Investment.
