CICC Research was founded upon the establishment of China International Capital Corporation (CICC), which is renowned for its emphasis on research. It was the first in China to establish a sell-side research framework, conducting research based on fundamental analysis and creating a cross-border research model of "One Team, Global Market". With its extensive coverage, rigorous research methods, objective approach, and insightful forward-looking perspectives, CICC Research has positioned itself among the most influential research institutions and has garnered the reputation of being "Chinese experts" among its clients.

CICC Global Institute (CGI), established in November 2020, is positioned as a new form of high-level think tank that is oriented to serving public policy research and decision-making. It focuses on economic and financial research, striving to understand economic and industry trends and to establish a platform for communication between China and the world. CGI and CICC Research possess different sets of focuses and strengths, collaborating in their efforts to support China's national strategy and to enhance CICC's business performance and development.
