President and CEO
Atyaf Holdings Co. W.L.L..
Years of of dedicated and relentless efforts have lifted
Atyaf Holdings Co. W.L.L to enviable heights, both in its
diversified portfolios of investments and in its vast clientele.
Today, Atyaf Holdings Co. W.L.L assets are well diversified
across 19 countries, 9 sectors and wide spectrum of assets
classes including private equities, real estate and fixed
income. When we founded Atyaf Holdings Co. W.L.L, our vision was
to create a pioneer financial and investment services group
covering the whole Europe and the world at large, backed with
strong partners and a world class team of experienced financial
professionals, offering the finest services in investment
solutions, securities brokerage, asset management and financial
research/advice. In 2009, Atyaf Holdings Co. W.L.L went through
a major organizational and capital restructuring that positioned
Atyaf Holdings Co. W.L.L firmly in the investment sector.
In 2010, the company raised its capital by USD 601.5 million
shares through the distribution of bonus shares to the
shareholders by (1/2) half a share for every (10) ten shares
owned. Therefore, the capital of the company is currently
equivalent to USD 915 million distributed among 31.5 million
shares. The aim of Atyaf Holdings Co. W.L.L is to invest its
funds in different types of investment options available in the
world according to the proper commercial and economic basis to
achieve profits for the shareholders and to contribute in the
economic, commercial and social growth of the Kingdom. I would
like also to point out that the Management Team have already
adopted the investment strategy of the company that focused
essentially on different areas of investment such as investment
in real estate, renewable energy, agriculture, projects, oil and
gas, acquiring strategic shares in selective under performing
companies for re-structuring or buying them entirely. The
strategy also includes planning to enter in small and
medium-sized industries and contributing in their capitals.
The company’s management is keen not to engage in any
transaction prior to assessing the involved risks thoroughly and
rely on economic feasibility studies to ensure achieving the
desired goals to protect the company from any financial losses
as a result of lack of adequate assessment for those
investments. Atyaf Holdings Co. W.L.L is managed by Board
members, all of whom are having experience and good reputation,
in addition to highly experienced and competent Chief Executive
Officer and specialized skilled staff . The Management Team
while forming various committees took into consideration the
standards of corporate governance. However, the corporate
governance report was already presented to the shareholders for
the year 2010.
Finally, on behalf of myself and the Management Team, I would
like to extend my thanks and gratitude to all our clients and
partners for their trust in us and also to all those who
contributed in supporting and realizing the objectives of the
company.
