21 July 2007 comments from Gulf Finance House

Founded in 1999, Gulf Finance House has grown rapidly to become one of the most respected investment banks in the Middle East region in terms of the quality and innovation of product offering. Over a seven-year period Gulf Finance House has successfully launched projects and investments with an aggregate value exceeding US$10 billion and received numerous reputable awards for its innovative approach to investment finance.

Over the three-year period ended 31 December 2006, net income more than tripled to US$211.6 million. Reflecting its international reputation, Gulf Finance House has won numerous local and international awards, such as 'Best Investment Bank' for three years in a row in 2005, 2006 and 2007, awarded by The Banker Middle East, 'Bank of the Year 2006' awarded by the Arabian Business Magazine and 'Best Islamic Real Estate Finance House' awarded by Euromoney.

25 June 2007
  • Managing Director's name also spelt as 'Essam Yousef Janahi', 'Essam Youssef Janahi' or 'Essam Yousuf Janahi'.
  • Shares are rarely traded.
  • Par value and shares outstanding not given on SCA site, DFM site says 0.33 dhs which appears to be an error. GFH 2006 financial results say par value is $US 0.33 (note 15).
  • Outstanding shares figure was 453,850,300 but 2006 FY statements say 453,850,263 for 2005 and 644,467,372 for 2006.
