CEO’s Message
Robeco is a multi boutique or multi-specialist investment house. Rabobank, our parent is the world’s largest agricultural bank and is triple A rated. Over the last ten years they bought up Robeco to be a pure asset manager. Douglas H. Luke
Robeco has been here in Bahrain since 2000, we’re a known name but because we work with institutions and the very large investors we’re not a household name.
What has made it different for us in the last year or two is that we’ve increased our resources for the Middle East so here in Bahrain we’ve increased the size of our offices, we’ve increased our partnerships. This is leading to new business, more people are aware of us and also because Rabobank is the only large independently owned triple A bank in the world and right now people value that conservatism and they value the fact that we’ve got a very secure and stable parent.
In 2008 Robeco Middle East accounted for about 10% of gross inflow of the whole company. The Middle East is still a market with a lot of potential.
