Kuwait Energy, Emerging Oil Company in Kuwait
Interview with Sara Akbar. Kuwait Energy is planning to go public this year. Kuwait Energy has approval from the shareholders to do so and Kuwait Energy is on track to do so hopefully in the second quarter of this year. We would like long term investors who understand the business and perhaps more institutional investors. Kuwait Energy would like investors from the region but currently 30% of our investors are from the US and Europe and Kuwait Energy welcomes more investors from there to. This is a unique opportunity for any kind of investor to have access to a Middle Eastern indigenous company that operates in the region with future growth plans and targets in the region.

Kuwait Investments, Global Securities House and Gatehouse Bank
Interview with Fahed Faisal Boodai, Gatehouse Bank. When we at Kuwait Global Securities House say cherry picking we look at this from two points. One, from the investor’s standpoint what does the investor and what are the clients needs in this market? For example, In 2002-2003 Kuwait Global Securities House invested heavily in GCC and Kuwait real estate but slowed down in 2004 – that is where the cherry picking comes in and where opportunities began to be handpicked. Most importantly real estate and investment are all about timing. In 2006-2007, Global Securities House started exiting some of these investments and I think that that was very smart because given the economic downturn we recently witnessed Global Securities House would have really been hurt.
