Founded in Qatar in 1998, Amwal was the first investment company to be granted a full onshore license by Qatar Central Bank and has since become Qatar’s leading investment banking and asset management firm. Since its inception Amwal has been a pioneer in the Qatari market through several innovative initiatives such as the launch of the first investment portfolio and the first mutual fund investing in the Doha Securities Market, as well as the underwriting of the first non-Qatari Initial Public Offering in the country.

As a result of Amwal’s rapid growth and landmark transactions, it was named in June 2006, the Leading Investment Firm in Qatar by Iktissad Wa Amal Group, the leading publishing group in the region.
