MA-G: Many institutions and family businesses believed in the team and wanted to become shareholders, including friends and family. All the clients I’d worked with over the years believed in us, and Global Investment House was launched with capital of $50,000,000. I remember printing the prospectus from my computer, and in two weeks, we were oversubscribed. So I decided with the help of four colleagues to start our own investment company that mirrored our ambitions, and Global investment House was launched. However, after less than two years, I realized this was no longer an environment I could excel in because it was too bureaucratic. Then the invasion happened, and then the liberation of Kuwait and the government decided to merge their investment arms into one entity to consolidate the business and minimize their risk, this gave me an opportunity to move up the career ladder. When I graduated, the economy and the markets were just recovering from a serious localized financial crisis, and the company’s majority shareholder became the government of Kuwait.īy the time I was 28 years old, I was the portfolio manager responsible for the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) account, which was almost a billion dollars. I started at a company owned by a sovereign wealth fund. MA-G: I worked in the investment sector from the day I graduated.
