Shaikh Ahmad, said: "GFH Capital is a well-established platform with a strong track record, and building on the momentum of 2017, we are well poised to enter a new era of expansion. This includes plans to effectively increase our transaction capacity both in terms of deal numbers and value as well as to significantly grow our assets under management by further building our base of HNW clients across the GCC. These activities are central to taking GFH to the next level and I look forward to guiding these efforts in the months ahead."
