CITIC Securities International and CLSA launch
Global Corporate Finance and Capital Markets business
Hong Kong – Monday, 4 May 2015: CITIC Securities International (CSI) and CLSA announce the launch
of CITIC CLSA Securities, a global corporate finance and capital markets business based in Asia, to
capitalise on increasing outbound Chinese investment and foreign investors seeking access to China.
CITIC CLSA Securities formalises the integration of CSI’s and CLSA’s corporate finance and capital markets
capabilities which began in early 2014, to create the international finance arm of CITIC Securities, the leading
investment bank in China and Asia and the No.1 issuer of bonds in mainland China over the past decade.#
CITIC CLSA Securities expands its footprint beyond Greater China, ASEAN and India with new teams in
Australia and Europe. ECM, DCM and M&A specialists will support corporates across five sectors: Consumer
& Diversified; Energy, Mining & Equipment; Financial Institutions; Real Estate & Infrastructure; and TMT &
Healthcare.
Vice Chairman of CITIC Securities and Chief Executive Officer of CITIC Securities International, Yin Ke,
comments: “I have no doubt that with CITIC Securities’ access in China and CLSA’s global network, CITIC
CLSA Securities will become the leading provider of Chinese capital to global investors. We see enormous
opportunity for growth across the region and China’s One Belt, One Road is one initiative we can leverage
immediately.”
Member of the CITIC Securities Executive Committee and Investment Banking Committee, Phil Yan, remarks:
“CITIC CLSA Securities, our off-shore team, will be an integral part of CITIC Securities’ unrivalled investment
banking capabilities, supported by our unmatched client relationships and market insights in China, making
us the natural partner of choice for Chinese clients expanding in the region or beyond.”
CLSA Chairman & CEO and CITIC Securities International Co-CEO Jonathan Slone says: “With CITIC CLSA
Securities we can build on CLSA’s established 25-year track record of capital raising in Asia and CITIC
Securities’ lead position in China to facilitate global capital flows into China and leverage the ongoing
liberalisation of the country’s financial sector. This will not compromise CLSA’s commitment to critical
analysis of companies, markets and trends. CLSA will continue to be a research-driven equity broker and
CITIC CLSA Securities will leverage that research to assist corporates to grow.”
CITIC CLSA Securities Head of Corporate Finance and Capital Markets, Andrew Low, adds: “We have
combined the corporate finance and capital markets capabilities of CSI and CLSA to create a top-tier global
investment business based in Asia that is both Chinese and international in its capabilities, geographies and
character. We have a proven track record across Asia and a highly robust platform backed by China’s largest
investment bank; it is a compelling proposition.”

In 2014, CITIC Securities and CLSA, together, were the leading advisor globally on mergers & acquisitions

underwriters of equity raising in Asia ex-Japan.*

The US$2billion Australian ECM, DCM, M&A market accounts for nearly 25% of total Asia Pacific (ex-Japan
and ex-China Mainland) revenue and presents an untapped market for CITIC CLSA Securities. A team of eight
experienced local bankers has been hired to capitalize on this highly active M&A market, strong cross border
flows from China and CLSA’s well-established domestic brokerage, to drive incremental revenues.
Outbound Chinese investment into Europe is increasing rapidly with more than 113 direct investment deals in
2014 vs 36 in 2010. France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom account for more than 60% of capital
inflows and the experienced CITIC CLSA Securities’ execution team in London will target deal flow into these
markets.
