Hamah Financial Secures CMA License, Expanding Investment Capabilities in Saudi Arabia
Hamah Financial Company has been granted a license from the Capital Market Authority (CMA) in Saudi Arabia, allowing them to offer investment management and fund operation services. This strategic approval marks a significant step for the company to enhance its offerings within the Kingdom's growing financial market.
The Green Light from CMA
The official approval from the Saudi Capital Market Authority was received on May 9, 2024. This license specifically permits Hamah Financial to conduct two key regulated activities: "Managing Investments" and "Operating Funds." Obtaining such a license is a crucial requirement for financial institutions to legally offer these services in Saudi Arabia, a market increasingly focused on attracting investment and developing its financial infrastructure under Vision 2030.
Implications for Hamah Financial and the Market
This new license significantly expands Hamah Financial's operational scope. Previously operating under different capacities, the CMA license enables them to directly manage client portfolios and launch and operate investment funds, including various types of collective investment schemes. This positions them to potentially attract a broader range of clients, from institutional investors to high-net-worth individuals, seeking professional investment management services within the Kingdom. For the Saudi market, increased licensed players in investment management can contribute to a more competitive and sophisticated financial landscape.
