Quotes by Antoine Massad

“The past year has been an important one for the hedge funds industry in the Arab region due to the positive development in the regional financial landscape. The set up of DIFC and the measures taken by the regional capital markets to cope with their international counterparts has had a significant impact on the industry.”

“The shift in investor demand and the emergence of new strategies that require in-depth research and industry participation is creating broad economies of scale in the global hedge fund industry. In the coming years, this will drive consolidation, creating larger, international investment houses that provide a higher level of service, transparency and investor choice. Further developments and enhancements within regional financial centers could only result in a range of new hedge fund products trading in Arab markets.”
