Organization: Qinvest

QInvest was licensed by the Qatar Financial Centre Authority in April 2007 and is regulated by the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority. The Bank has an authorised and paid-up capital of US$1 billion and US$500 million, respectively. Led by Chairman H.E. Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al Thani, and Chief Executive Officer Shahzad Shahbaz, QInvest has created a world class investment banking capability operating under Sharia'a compliant structures, with the highest standards of governance and transparency. The platform offers a broad range of expertise that enables QInvest to deliver a high value service seamlessly covering client needs across investment management, investment banking, private client services and brokerage. This is delivered by a talented team of investment bankers who bring a valuable mix of both international experience and also regional knowledge, enabling QInvest to pursue opportunities across its chosen markets of Middle East, Turkey, South & South East Asia, and Africa. Beyond this geographic focus, the firm also pursues opportunistic transactions more globally where it identifies high value propositions for clients. QInvest has taken a strategic stake in Panmure Gordon, a UK listed 130 year old Brokerage firm. A strong partnership has been forged between both firms which will be leveraged to build a world class brokerage business across the regions in which QInvest operates. Additionally the partnership creates incremental opportunities for both firms in each other's core markets.
