Our goal is to continuously add value for clients through rigorous bottom-up and top-down fundamental analysis, seeking an absolute-return driven strategy by investing in the equity markets of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). We also provide our clients access to the world of fixed income products, with the coverage starting from the basics of plain vanilla bonds and Sukuks, to reach a variety of structured products and notes across the globe. Furthermore, we maintain an extensive experience in managing money market portfolios, being one of the pioneers in the GCC region in providing such a service.

Our investment strategy is based on performing rigorous due diligence on a universe covering a spectrum of sectors within economies with above-average growth prospects.
The strategy is built upon a disciplined, yet flexible, long term approach to investing, which allows us to filter short term news, noise and emotions and determine the best course of action. Through maintaining an extensive coverage list and continuously researching and implementing the best evaluation models, the investment managers are able to respond in a timely manner to breaking news and development in the best interest of our clients.
