ADIB Wealth Management Seminar Presents Range of Investment Opportunities


Abu Dhabi, 13 December 2011: Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), a top-tier Islamic

financial institution, hosted its first Wealth Management Seminar for high net worth

customers and presented its outlook on global markets. The seminar provided

customers with the knowledge to understand diverse investment options and make

effective investment decisions in a rapidly changing environment.

During the seminar, ADIB revealed the results of its customer survey on investor

attitudes towards risk which shows that the proportion of ADIB customers who have

an enhanced appetite for risk remains low, while conservative investor numbers have

grown continuously and balanced investors with a moderate appetite for risk remains

the largest group.

Stuart Crocker, Global Head of Private Banking Group at ADIB said: “UHNW individuals

have a unique and individual approach to risk. Significant changes in the global economy

have impacted investor attitudes and this is clearly evident in the decline of enhanced

risk taking investors and the growth of conservative to balanced investors. ADIB

has responded to this customer trend by announcing a range of capital protected

investment instruments.”

The seminar was held at the ADIB Headquarters in Abu Dhabi and hosted a well

renowned speaker, Mazin Baghdadi, Deputy Head of Mutual Funds at HSBC Saudi

Arabia. He presented updates on local and regional markets as well as reports on

the worldwide economic outlook and the unfolding situation in the Eurozone. ADIB

presented its views on the various financial instruments that have increased in appeal

in today’s investment environment. ADIB offers a complete range of Shari'a compliant

investment solutions customised to the needs and risk tolerance of customers.

As part of ADIB’s strategy to update and educate clients, the bank regularly hosts

seminars to help clients make the right financial decisions.
