Overview
CLSA’s founding purpose was to give global investors the inside scoop on Asian markets: providing independent, actionable investment insights; shedding light on critical issues; challenging convention and uncovering untapped niches.
Almost four decades on, we remain faithful to our journalistic heritage in providing outstanding research services within institutional equities. And thanks to the unwavering support of our clients, we continue to deliver differentiated, value-creating ideas.
Our extensive on-the-ground presence means our market-leading analysts, economists and strategists produce unparalleled research from a uniquely Asian perspective and are often first to reveal emerging issues and trends from around the region.
