Over the past twenty years, CLSA has built out its service offering to clients into three key areas :
 

• Brokerage / Equity derivatives

CLSA is one of the longest running independent brokerages in Asia and one of the world’s largest agency brokers. CLSA has direct access to 80 global equity markets through its combined exchange memberships with Calyon Capital Markets.
 
CLSA Alternative Equity Products provides listed and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives distribution. Products include futures and options broking, price return swap distribution, equity swaps, OTC equity derivatives broking and a certificate program for fully funded, long only access to restricted markets.
 

• Investment Banking

CLSA's investment banking helps Asian corporations drive shareholder value through the corporate structuring of small to mid-cap public and private companies. The investment banking group operates independently of the broking business and offers M&A advisory, equity transactions and public offerings.

CLSA has a reputation among long term corporate and government relationships in Asia. This makes CLSA a natural bridge between corporates wishing to raise capital and the international investment community.
 

• Asset Management

Since 1995, CLSA has offered alternative asset management through nine Asia-focused funds managed by CLSA Capital Partners. This private equity group leverages CLSA's economic and strategic analysis to invest into private and listed Asian companies . Today it has US$2.5 billion funds under management. The funds are focused on long term economic trends in clean resources, energy, domestic growth, real-estate and transport.
 

Independent and innovative research is the cornerstone upon which CLSA's success is based. The company is renowned for its independent thematic research, economic analysis and equity strategy.

CLSA is regularly quoted by global media. It has been ranked the top equity research house in Asia by institutional investors for the past 16 years.
