Value

ICT's value to GCC Merchant Family Groups and US/EU middle-market companies, and the foundation of ICT's competitive advantage as a financial advisor and investment arranger, is based on the unique combination of three success factors.

The absence of any factor is problematic with respect to the delivery of investment banking services to Merchant Family Groups and to US/EU middle-market companies seeking investment from and to joint venture with these Groups in the Region.

Members of the ICT team have worked in the Arabian Gulf beginning in the late 1970's and the team has almost a century of collective financial experience, being involved in over five billion dollars worth of conventional and Shari'ah compliant investment, placement and advisory transactions spanning a wide variety of industries and financial instruments.

Relationships
The second success factor involved in providing middle-market investment banking services in the GCC are long term relationships with high level as well as grass-roots organizations including banks, financial institutions and Merchant Family Groups. ICT team members have built close relationships among all and this provides robust deal flow as well as sources of finance for ICT clients.
