Crédit Agricole offloads Asian brokerage business!

Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank (CA CIB) is selling its majority stake in CLSA, the Asian brokerage and investment group, to CITIC Securities International, an investment bank based in China.
CLSA will retain its independent management structure and continue to operate under a management agreement that allows for operational independence.

Both parties have agreed that CA CIB will maintain its financial, business and operational support to CLSA during the transition phase, so as to avoid any disruption for CLSA clients and staff.
