NBK Capital operates regionally in Kuwait, Dubai, Egypt and Turkey with over 170 investment professionals.

NBK Capital’s Investment Banking group sells advisory services (whether debt, equity or M&A advisory) to clients across sectors.

The Alternative Investments group at NBK Capital manages three funds under its two main divisions –
