Alistithmar Capital is planning to provide advisory services for several firms that are eyeing listings on the Nomu Parallel Market, chief executive Hesham Hussain Abou Jamee, told Argaam in an exclusive interview.
The financial advisor and investment arm of Tadawul-listed Saudi Investment Bank (SAIB) is currently focused on the selection criteria, as Alistithmar made great effort for the initial public offerings (IPOs) of Raydan Restaurants and Baazeem Trading, Abou Jamee said.
“Floated companies should be a good opportunity for investors,” he added.
Abou Jamee pointed out that one of the main challenges faced by Alistithmar during previous IPOs was convincing issuers of raising the floated stake to 30 percent.
Raydan and Baazeem’s offerings on Saudi Arabia’s new parallel market were 493 percent 421 percent oversubscribed, respectively.
Alistithmar recently fell to the sixth spot in its ranking among peers in the Saudi market.
Abou Jamee said that the drop in its share of Tadawul’s total transactions could be attributed to several factors.
“However, Alistithmar can easily reclaim its position,” he added.
