The go ahead comes two years following the launch of the DSE, which now consists of 20 listed companies with a capitalization of over $2.5bn.
The service is aimed at attracting high net worth individual and institutional investors interested in gaining access into the DSE via the experience and skill of a dedicated investment manager, said BSFF.
Based on the needs, expectations and risk tolerance of each individual investor, the investment manager will construct a customized portfolio of shares according to each investor’s preferred investment horizon.
In this regard, BSFF has appointed Hamza Hamza to serve as investment manager in advising investors in Syria and abroad.
Hamza, a derivatives professional with extensive experience in trading on the European and US markets, was until recently fund manager at Sucden Financial – London trading primarily commodities, bonds, currencies and indices.
BSFF general manager Omar Al-Ghraoui said he is confident that this service will have a positive impact on a growing market and an increasingly more sophisticated investor base.
