CITIC Securities International secured Clearing Membership of the London Metal Exchange (LME) in collaboration with CITIC Futures International

London, UK – 6 May 2026: CITIC CLSA UK, a subsidiary of CITIC Securities International (CSI), is approved as a Category 2 Clearing Member of the LME.

This achievement represents another key breakthrough in the collaboration between CSI and CITIC Futures to deepen the global strategic deployment, following the successful admission of CITIC CLSA Singapore as a Clearing Member of the Singapore Exchange Derivatives Clearing Limited (SGX) in April 2025, further advancing the international expansion of CITIC’s futures business.

CSI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CITIC Securities (CITICS), operates from 13 countries across Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas. It offers comprehensive financial solutions to a large and diverse client base that includes global institutional investors, corporations, governments, and high-net-worth individuals. CITIC Futures, a competitive futures institution in the Chinese market, is continuously expanding its comprehensive service capabilities across global futures and derivatives through its overseas subsidiary, CITIC Futures International (CFI), thereby strengthening CITICS’ full-products, full-business-lines, and full-license offshore business frameworks.

To enhance global market service capabilities, CSI and CFI have jointly expanded their global clearing footprint, securing derivatives clearing memberships on both the SGX and the LME. This advancement delivers an integrated, highly efficient financial solution to support global commodity markets and the cross-border risk management of enterprises.

Looking ahead, CSI and CFI will continue to deepen collaboration in global markets and further expand their clearing presence worldwide. By delivering superior integrated derivatives services, they aim to further enhance the international influence of the CITIC brand and contribute CITICS expertise to supporting Chinese enterprises in expanding their global industrial chain, supply chain, and value chain, while serving China’s high-level opening-up strategy.
