The company was established in 1998 as Australian Futures & Options Brokers Pty Ltd. as a boutique Futures Broker servicing National retail clientele. The company name was changed to CK Locke & Partners Pty Ltd in 2002 to coincide with the issue of the Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) under the new Financial Services Reform Act 2001. The change of name was carried out to comply with the new legislation and to compliment the additional financial services offered by CKL. CKL has been developed around high standards of ethics and integrity. CKLAos staff reflects this philosophy to the public and each other. Honesty, compliance and disclosure have proved to be the foundation of the CKLAos success. CKL is privately owned, with shareholders actively participating in the CompanyAos management.
