Established in 1974, Kuwait Financial Centre ‘Markaz’ is one of the leading asset management and investment banking institutions in the MENA region.
We are a team of over 150 employees, spread over offices across the Middle East, the US, and India. Markaz was listed on the Boursa Kuwait in 1997.
Since inception, Markaz has attracted and retained a client base of government and private institutions, as well as family offices and high net worth individuals. We continue to serve them through our best-in-class investment opportunities and tailored solutions in Investment Banking, Asset Management, Real Estate, Wealth Management, and Research.
Over the years, Markaz has pioneered innovation through developing new concepts resulting in the creation of new investment channels. These channels enjoy unique characteristics and helped Markaz widen investors’ horizons. Examples include Mumtaz (the first domestic mutual fund), MREF (the first real estate investment fund in Kuwait), Forsa Financial Fund (the first and only options market maker in the GCC since 2005), and the GCC Momentum Fund (the first passive fund of its kind in Kuwait and across GCC that follows the momentum methodology), all conceptualized, established and managed by Markaz.
