CLSA is an award-winning brokerage house covering the Asia-Pacific Markets from a headquarters in Hong Kong.[1][2] Founded in 1986, CLSA was originally partially owned by Credit Lyonnais and CLSA's senior executives - principally, its late chairman, Gary Coull. CLSA now has Credit Agricole as its major shareholder.

CLSA's lack of significant investment-banking business contributes to its reputation among clients - largely worldwide fund managers - for independence in its brokerage research. International publications like the International Herald Tribune refer to CLSA as "a leading Hong Kong brokerage".[3] Despite its reputation for broking stocks rather than investment banking, the company has recently become more involved in this aspect of finance; in June 2007, CLSA undertook the largest solely led IPO in India during the past five years.[4] The International Herald Tribune is a widely read English language international newspaper. ...

The company has not been without controversy. In 2005, CLSA pulled out of the running in an annual research poll by AsiaMoney magazine when news came out that some CLSA staffmembers had tried to influence the voting.[9] In May 2007, the Financial Times reported that Softbank withdrew a threat of legal action against CLSA after the brokerage house issued a partial apology in regard to a critical report about the Japanese communications conglomerate.[10] The Financial Times (FT) is an international business newspaper printed on distinctive salmon pink broadsheet paper. ... SoftBank Corp. ...
