HC Securities & Investment

HC Securities & Investment ("HC") is a leading financial institution in the Middle East and North Africa, offering its clients a wide range of services in investment banking, asset management, securities brokerage, research, online trading, and custody. HC began operation in 1996 with activities in portfolio management and investment banking. Securities brokerage was added as a line of business in 1999, followed by fund management in 2001. With multiple setups in Egypt and the UAE, HC's leadership in the market has played a key role in the overall development of the region's capital markets and investment environments. The firm's commitment to integrity enables it to build permanent relationships with clients, with trust defining these long lasting partnerships. Its passion driven team is dedicated to deliver a world class performance while fostering client relations. HC's diversified expertise and professionalism standards together with its vast network of relationships with the region's largest companies, prominent individuals, and influential decision makers achieve that fine balance between international best practices and local know-how. In order to better serve our clients, we augment our regional experience and knowledge by drawing on our relationships with investors, financial institutions, business leaders, and governments. Additionally, we capitalize on the regional network and expertise of Saudi Arabia's National Commercial Bank (NCB) and its asset management, brokerage, and investment banking arm, NCB Capital, both of which are strategic shareholders in our company. In 2008, the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) licensed HC Investment Banking (DIFC) Limited as an authorized firm in the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC). HC extends its investment banking services to Dubai to serve its clients with the same integrity and excellence that has already been exemplified in Egypt.
