The core team members have been together since the firm’s inception (2007/2008), and we have grown together as professionals and as people in that time. The joint experience of the team operating between Saudi Arabia and Dubai, which includes surviving the global financial crisis, the Arab Spring, royal successions, socio-economic revolutionary reform, diplomatic boycotts and crises and over 15 years of EM and FM volatilities, means that we have developed thicker skins than most and understand that there is always more to learn.
