For 30 years, CLSA has consistently presented a differentiated, independent view.

CLSA has built its reputation on providing global investors with unique insights into the companies, issues and themes driving global growth.

Our market-leading analysts, economists and strategists are renowned for producing unparalleled research, differentiated ideas and insights from a unique Asian perspective. With our extensive on-the-ground presence, CLSA is first to spot emerging issues and trends driving the region.

We have tracked the issues impacting Asia since 1986.

For CLSA’s 30th anniversary we selected a couple of ‘historic’ reports to evaluate our economic forecasts for China in 1987 and Asia in 1997. For more recent research, please visit Insights, Views and CLSA TV on this site.
