solutions. Since its establishment in 2000, CAL has specialized in originating, trading, and investing in debt and equity securities, with a focus on superior ex*****on, research, and product innovation. CAL's early years were focused on securing corporate and family business clientele while developing the retail aspect of the business. This approach has enabled CAL to develop a highly sought-after group of clients spanning institutions, corporates, family businesses and retail clients over the past 22 years, contributing heavily to its present stature and success. CAL was first registered as a debt dealer in 2000 and appointed as a registered primary dealer by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka in 2003, making it one of only five non-bank licensed primary dealers in the country. Today, CAL offers a sophisticated selection of structured, government debt-based investments, giving clients unparalleled flexibility in choosing from an array of conventional debt instruments or a bespoke investment solution. Its numerous investment options are designed to suit the specific requirements of its diverse clients across the spectrum, from individuals to corporates. CAL's approach is based on strengthening its vibrant knowledge and research environment, allowing for superior market expertise, and cultivating an in-depth understanding of its clients in nurturing long-term bonds. These two pillars, in combination with incorporating industry best-practices in key investment banking areas, ensure that CAL's ambition of being the number one investment bank in frontier markets is constantly in sight. In 2016, CAL won four prestigious awards at the Global Banking and Finance Review Award 2015, including Best Investment Banking Company Sri Lanka, Best Investment Banking Solutions Provider Sri Lanka, Best New Asset Management Company Sri Lanka, and Fastest Growing Unit Trust Manager Sri Lanka. These leading industry awards indicate the strength of CAL's foundation and lend great confidence in the continuous pursuit of success. As a part of its frontier market ambitions, CAL Bangladesh is a newly established joint-venture foreign brokerage firm in Bangladesh, aiming to provide research-based investment services to investors and the stock market. CAL Bangladesh also aims to go beyond traditional brokerage business and add a new dimension to stock market services by providing merchant banking services.
