A leading Kuwaiti investment firm has established its first regional office in Dubai as part of its broader plans to expand across the Gulf.
The National Investment Company, a publicly listed entity, announced the opening of its new office at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), aimed at deepening ties with financial institutions and strategic partners in the region.
This move is in line with the company’s objective to tap into emerging, high-growth markets while offering enhanced support to its portfolio businesses.
Established in 1987, NIC oversees a diverse array of portfolios, investment funds, and client accounts spanning multiple sectors. It is considered one of Kuwait’s largest investment firms by assets under management.
Additionally, the firm has signed a memorandum of understanding with the DIFC’s Financial Services Authority to foster collaboration and coordination, particularly in areas such as expertise sharing and professional development.
