Wednesday, June 14, 2017
Arqaam Capital, the specialist emerging markets investment bank, has improved its ranking in this year’s Extel survey by one place clinching the third spot in the Middle East & North Africa ahead of 31 regional and global institutions.
Among those ranked 17 Arqaam Capital analysts and 4 equity sales individuals were voted in the MENA category, with the top ranked Arqaam analyst having secured the highest number of votes in the survey.
Arqaam Capital also made substantial progress outside the MENA region securing a top 10 position in South Africa and in Frontier Markets (up 8 positions in both categories). Arqaam Capital had also ranked in the top 4 position in the Africa-ex SA category (unweighted) in the South African Financial Mail survey.
Jaap Meijer, Managing Director, Equity Research at Arqaam Capital commented: ‘the results accurately reflect Arqaam Capital’s leading position in the region. We have steadily improved our rating in the Extel Awards over the last few years and now rank among the top, a testament to the quality of our product offering, research effort, and people, as well as our commitment to provide a timely and value added service. This positions us well for new MiFID2 rules. We still see room for further upside in our categories and are investing in teams and talent selectively.’
