CFAS has been providing financial advisory services to Governments and Public Sector in the Caribbean region and the Americas since 1982.

It incorporates the Caribbean Department of the Government Advisory Division of Warburgs (now UBS Warburg). In 1995, the business and activities were separated from Warburg and have been operated since then under the auspices of CFAS.

Over the years from its inception in 1982, it has provided financial advisory services on state sector restructuring, privatisations and sovereign financing, to many Governments and sovereign agencies in the Caribbean region, including Antigua, Aruba, Curacao, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, The Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago, The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank in St. Kitts and the Commonwealth Secretariat.

The range of mandates undertaken by the group has covered a broad spectrum from privatisations, to structured finance, to other forms of project finance assignments in the transport sector, banking and other financial services, telecommunications, agriculture, power generation, mining, tourism and health-care. In a joint mandate with UBS, CFAS acted as financial advisers to the Government of Jamaica for the launch of Highway 2000, the largest infrastructure development in the English-speaking Caribbean and on the successful privatisation of Sangster International Airport at Montego Bay.
