Black Enterprise- Naeem Holding, Egypt’s second-largest investment bank by market value, will start a 100 million Egyptian pound ($19 million) fund to buy stakes in firms planning public listings, its chief executive said on Wednesday [June 18].
The fund would buy stakes in up to eight companies in its first year ahead of their listing on Nilex, Egypt’s stock exchange for small and medium sized companies, Hany Tawfik told reporters. Naeem would finish raising money for the fund by mid-July, he said.
"The growth for small-cap funds generally outperforms other funds," Mr. Tawfik said.
