CWA is the retail business unit of Citigroup Global Markets India Private Ltd, and has eight branches nationally, with three of them located in the South — Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad.
“We aim to establish CWA as a premier wealth management service provider with equity brokerage as its centre of plate offering,” Mr Rakesh Kaul, Business Head, CWA, said.

The branches would offer facilities such as video conferencing, a digital marketing wall — that adorns the exterior of the branch, offers individuals an insight into the world of Citi through a digital display of products and services and consequent customer benefits, etc.
The CWA equity brokerage account offers customers products ranging from equity cash and carry, intra-day trading, futures and options, investment in exchange traded funds (ETFs), and other wealth products offered from the Citi platform.
