Benjamin Wey is the current president and co-founder of a leading Wall Street middle market advisory firm, New York Global Group (NYGG). The success stories of NYGG and its president are truly inspiring. Benjamin Wey is a bilingual Chinese American who started his American journey with little more than $62 in his pocket approximately 20 years ago and is now one of the most successful Chinese American executives on Wall Street. NYGG has access to more than US$500 million of investment capital.

So, how did Benjamin start his journey towards fulfilling a Chinese American's American dream? Benjamin Wey came to the United States on a Valedictorian and full academic scholarship offered by a southern state university. After studying at several reputed universities and armed with a MBA in finance, the iron man from China started his first investment advisory firm in the mid 1990s. Later, he co-funded an investment bank specialized in bridging growth opportunities with capital on Wall Street. He started became an advisor on China affairs to the then governor of the southern state. It was then when he was recognized for his expert ...
... knowledge of China and Chinese trade policies.

Benjamin Wey then sought to promote American product exports to China. He started working on the business model by bridging China and the U.S. in goods and services, as well as through their capital needs. The business model was a huge success. The model was built at a time when the economic potentials between the two giants were not yet fully recognized by main stream investors. To advance his business in a global city, Benjamin Wey moved his company to New York City and in less than 10 years, he built a Wall Street middle market power house that has some of the best performance track record on China deal executions.

This move turned out to be one of the best in his life, and there was no looking back. The rest is just history.
