Arqaam Capital offers comprehensive ‘Managing Investments’ services, as defined and regulated by the Saudi Capital Market Authority (CMA). Our arranging activities encompass a broad spectrum of services related to managing investments, including asset management, investment funds, and Discretionary Portfolio Management (DPM) services.
Key Aspects of Managing Investments Services
Managing Investments (M1): In compliance with the Managing Investments License, Arqaam handles various aspects of fund and discretionary portfolio management. This includes the rigorous application of investment strategies, continuous risk assessment, and the observance of ethical investment practices that prioritize client interests and regulatory compliance.

Fixed Income Asset Management: Managing funds and discretionary portfolios focusing on regional bonds and sukuks (conventional and Shari’ah).

The DPM process

Arqaam Capital’s Discretionary Portfolio Management (DPM) services commence with a detailed initial consultation where client-specific financial objectives, investment experience, and risk appetite are thoroughly understood. This understanding shapes the drafting of an Investment Policy Statement (IPS), which outlines tailored investment strategies and objectives. Following client agreement on the IPS, Arqaam guides clients through the account setup and asset transfer process, ensuring all legal and compliance documents are appropriately managed. Assets are then aligned with the IPS through strategic rebalancing to match the client’s risk tolerance and investment goals. Arqaam’s ongoing management involves proactive portfolio adjustments in response to market changes and regular performance reviews with the client to ensure alignment with the evolving financial goals and market conditions. This continuous cycle of management and communication upholds Arqaam’s commitment to achieving clients’ investment objectives while maintaining the highest standards of transparency and regulatory compliance.
