Rasmala Investment Bank Limited (Rasmala) announced the launch of the Rasmala MENA Brokerage Platform, a revolutionary new e-trading platform that allows both high net worth and institutional clients instant access to fourteen equity markets across the MENA region through one account including a state of the art e-trading facility.

Clients will be able to trade in all markets through a one-stop-shop portal and one account, as well as have a consolidated view of their entire portfolio through a single system.

“The launch of the new platform marks an exciting stage in Rasmala’s development and enables us to provide a better service to our clients and to also attract new ones, allowing us to increase our brokerage market share across the MENA region.” commented Khaled Masri, Head of Brokerage at Rasmala.

The new platform also provides clients with supplementary support from the trading desk team, in addition to access to research specialists. The team provides daily market overview and flows, trading ideas, technical analysis, company news and execution. The research team regularly publishes papers on the top 50-60 listed companies in the region, constituting around two thirds of the region’s total market capitalization, ensuring that clients have the most up-to-date information when making trading decisions.
