CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets has reorganised its private equity business as funds have now surpassed $1bn following substantial fundraising over the past 12 months. The company has established a new group, called CLSA Capital Partners, which will manage CLSA's four main funds.

The four main funds focus on domestic demand, asset reflation, Japan recovery, and leveraged buy-out financing.

Gary Coull, chairman and CEO of CLSA Capital Partners, said, 'Unlike many of our competitors, we have segmented our funds under management to focus on specific themes.

'There are a number of firms with larger funds under management which
have a global, generalist focus. We are focusing on Asian opportunities with dedicated teams around each theme,' Coull continued.

CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets is a brokerage, investment banking and private equity group in the Asia-Pacific markets. Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Hong Kong, CLSA's major shareholder is France's Crédit Agricole, which merged in 2003 with Crédit Lyonnais.
