Dubai - MAC Capital Limited today announced that it has opened its new office to the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the U.A.E.’s major international financial centre.
Since it opened in September 2004, the DIFC has attracted a number of high calibre firms from around the globe. It aims to develop the same stature as New York, London, Singapore and Hong Kong, a financial zone of choice, serving the Middle East, North Africa and East Asia Region. The DIFC is a 110-acre financial free zone that is regulated to the highest international standards and is home to a regional financial exchange – the NASDAQ Dubai.
MAC Capital was granted an investment banking licence by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (the “DFSA”) in 2008 and also is a trading member of the NASDAQ Dubai. Its affiliate, MAC Sharaf, is one of the U.A.E’s leading local brokers, ranking in the top 20 in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. With its international affiliations, MAC Capital can trade for qualified clients in over 40 countries. As an international investment bank based in the DIFC, MAC Capital has been able to complete transactions in a multitude of countries, including Kazakhstan, Canada, Cuba, Thailand, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Australia, China, Oman, Sweden and Hong Kong. It also advised on the first listing of a Chinese company on the NASDAQ Dubai and the first NYSE company to list on that exchange. MAC Capital offers a full range of financial services, including mergers and acquisitions, listings, underwriting, corporate advisory and securities brokerage with a focus on cross border transactions.
“We truly believe that the DIFC - the Region’s leading financial hub – is a wonderful base for a business like ours. As a niche international investment bank and securities brokerage group based in the U.A.E. we have many advantages: zero tax, a well recognized and respected regulator, great deal flow, being based in the centre of both the GCC and the region, being able to deal with local corporate and international companies …we truly have the best of both worlds..” said Robert W. McMillen, MAC Capital’s Chairman and the founder of the MAC Group. “We believe in the strong potential of the region as it slowly broadens and deepens its capital markets and recovers from the recent World economic turmoil. The DIFC has built a world-class infrastructure that will serve as our base and international headquarters for our global operations.”
