Private investments and their management with NBK

NBK Capital provides the best-in-class options for private investments, and offers cutting edge solutions to those looking for private placements both in GCC and outside.

Investors today wish to maximise their capital by exploring a wide range of instruments, and equity capital offers one of the most attractive options today. However, the inherent risk of losing all the invested capital by inadvertently associating with fraudulent entities is all too real. The private placement space can be a tricky area to navigate if one does not have a reliable trading partner to guide one through the process.

What is private placement?

It refers to the sale of securities to a small group of investors so as to raise capital for both short-term and long-term needs. This instrument is often used by companies looking to raise funding for its business goals. Such entities as insurance companies, pension fund companies, banks and mutual funds are significant participants in the private placements universe.

Private placements differ from public issues; in the latter, securities are sold in the open market to the highest bidder for that investment. In the former, the placement is offered only to a select group of investors and may or may not be sold by prospectus. It is an important function in the Equity Capital Markets (ECM) ecosystem. However, its success is assured by partnering with a reputed advisory firm such as NBK Capital, so that maximum equity capital may be raised within the specified time frame.

NBK Capital facilitates transparent transactions between all participants so that sufficient equity capital may be raised by the right means. The capital is raised through new issue allocation, Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), marketing, stocks, futures, swaps and derivatives.

NBK Capital offers a wide range of trading activities and principles so that companies may thrive in the ECM ecosystem. The firm helps all its clients assess their goals before moving to strategising and planning their milestones for them. This is done in a way that the firm can leverage its own expertise and wide network in the region and beyond, and thus ensure success for clients with maximum exposure, customised structuring, market-based analysis and regular study and advice in structuring.

Clients’ private placement is thus assured of success with NBK Capital’s Equity Capital Markets group offering a gamut of advisory services. The firm also offers public placement to several regional companies. Till date, NBK Capital has worked closely with such high net worth clients as Saudi Telecom, Kout Food Group, Jazeera Airways, Mezzan Holding and Qurain Petrochemicals, to name just a few.
