CLSA Americas is a full service agency broker, providing investors’ customised solutions to ensure they achieve their execution objectives in the tradition of service excellence and product innovation.

Sales

Focused on global sectors with unique Asia and China read-through, CLSA Americas’ high touch sales teams provide clients with the advice and attention clients need to strategically position their portfolios.

CLSA Americas has the largest dedicated Asia sales desks in North America. Our highly experienced teams are focused on equity markets across Asia, and include dedicated market specialists covering Australia, China, Japan and Asean.

Our dominant presence across Asia and China has led to unparalleled access to both public and private companies, creating significant competitive advantage for our US clients.

CLSA sales works closely with CLSA’s bespoke content platform, CLSA U to provide fund managers access to independent experts who provide highly specialised perspectives on industries and trends unfettered by CLSA analysts.
