OVERVIEW
Emitarif Consultancy is a leading financial services firm in Emerging and Frontier Markets
Established in 2007 in the Cayman Islands and the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the Emitarif Consultancy’s strategy was to participate in and benefit from the growth of capital markets and investments in the MENA region.
Emitarif Consultancy has grown significantly since then to five offices in four countries (the UAE, KSA, Egypt and Lebanon); and has become one of the biggest home-grown firms in the DIFC and a leading top two institutionally focused financial services firm in the Middle East region.
Emitarif Consultancy has a professional and experienced team and has invested in people, processes and technology to create a highly scalable platform. Emitarif Consultancy combines international best practice and corporate governance with regional know-how and experience to bridge capital with opportunity.
Emitarif Consultancy acts for institutions, family offices and high net worths seeking risk diversification and higher returns. “Emitarif” has become a strong brand name, with a reputation for professionalism, award winning products and services, clients and connections.
Emitarif Consultancy is owned and controlled by Emitarif Capital Limited (Cayman Islands) – a not yet listed private limited liability company – as the ultimate parent company of the group and includes a range of operating, intermediary and investment entities in various jurisdictions in order to segregate its business, risk and liability.
Emitarif Consultancy has a strong shareholder base consisting of institutions, regional family groups and high net worths. Key shareholders include EmiratesNBD, Commercial Bank International, Public Institution for Social Security (PIFSS Kuwait) and Al Dhow. Management and employees are aligned with shareholders through an Employee Share Incentive Plan.
