Award-winning firm surpasses 49 competitors in terms of trade value and market share

Menacorp, the UAE's leading financial services firm, has been ranked the number one brokerage firm in the UAE for the first half of 2015 in terms of trade value and market share, according to official data published by the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) and Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX). The award-winning investment firm topped 49 competing companies to take the highest position on UAE exchanges for H1 of 2015 despite challenging conditions.

Consistently delivering industry-leading services, Menacorp has reinforced its leadership in the DFM where it ranked number one consecutively for 2013 and 2014. It demonstrated a robust business model even during the period when trading volumes were almost half of what they were for the same period of 2014. 

Fathi Ben Grira, CEO, Menacorp, said: "Menacorp continues its leading streak on UAE markets with notably a clear leadership on the DFM. We are particularly proud of this ranking as it reflects the strong relationship we have built with our clients throughout the years as well as the sustainability of our business model. Despite very fluctuating and challenging market conditions, Menacorp remained the company of choice on UAE markets as investors massively chose to trust our services during good and bad times."

"It is a great achievement to be ranked number one on UAE markets for H1 of 2015, confirming our performances of the past years. It does not only demonstrate the strength of our customer service but also the exclusivity of our investor-friendly solutions. Moreover, we pride in our team of highly trained and dedicated professionals who have been providing an exclusive service experience to our clients." concluded Nabil Al Rantisi, Managing Director Brokerage, Menacorp.
