Welcome to the launch edition of Middle East Investment Nabd, a newsletter from Institutional Investor.

For our non-Arabic speakers, nabd means pulse. II has worked for many years to keep its finger on the pulse of this dynamic region through in-person events. Now, with Middle East Investment Nabd, we’ll provide subscribers with regular updates on people moves, evolving asset-owner allocation strategies, and the latest developments across capital markets and trading.

Leveraging our deep relationships in the region, this monthly newsletter will highlight the innovation and growth that are positioning the Middle East as a global centre for capital markets, asset management, and wealth generation.

All our events are held under the Chatham House Rule, but we will share colour from the events, allowing readers to gauge some of the sentiment even if we don’t quote the investors who share their opinions. This issue you can get some idea of the topics discussed at our Kuwait meeting held last month.
