Ziad Tarek Abdullah Aba Al-Khail, Managing Director and CEO of AlJazira Capital talks about the strategy for Aljazira Capital.
How would you characterize your strategy? What are the strategic goals that you want to achieve in order to maintain the market leadership?
Aljazira Capital has been the number one broker in Saudi Arabia for over 10 years. Technology has actually propelled the company to this level. The company controls 25% of internet trading in the Kingdom. The innovative trading platform is developed in-house. To continue innovating, the company is unveiling new HTML5-based products. This technology allows for touch screen and many other unique features. The strategy is to maintain market leadership. Aljazira Capital is also diversifying into asset management. The company has increased the number of funds, classes, and regions on offer. Concurrently, we are developing our investment banking business, which we believe will grow in the Kingdom as more and more companies go public and restructure. Of course, we have one of the best research teams in the Kingdom, and provide and disseminate research all over the world.
Aljazira Capital is a Saudi Closed Joint Stock company operating under the regulatory supervision of the Capital Market Authority, specialized in securities business and providing the services of dealing, underwriting, managing, arranging, advisory, and custody.
