About Us
Our Legacy
Clarion Finance was founded in 1980 in Zurich, Switzerland, as an asset management company. Over the years, its operations expanded globally, leading to the establishment of its headquarters in Singapore—a thriving business hub in Southeast Asia. Combining Switzerland’s robust work ethic with Singapore’s dynamic and multicultural business environment, Clarion Finance offers reliable and stable financial services to companies and individuals worldwide.
The company’s initial focus was on financing natural resource companies listed primarily in Canada and engaging in venture capital opportunities. Since its inception, Clarion Finance has played a pivotal role in helping clients manage their finances and grow their investments.
Through its vast experience and strong global partnerships, Clarion Finance has built a reputation for delivering above-average returns. One of its key affiliates, Pacific LNG Operations Limited — founded in 2006 — has provided unwavering support with over 80 years of combined expertise in managing multimillion-dollar energy projects.
Today, Clarion Finance is actively seeking growth opportunities in new sectors, with a strong focus on driving the energy transition.
