SICO’s fixed income business includes its flagship SICO Fixed Income Fund and a number of discretionary portfolio management accounts, focusing primarily on the GCC and MENA. The division prides itself for its innovatively structured products particularly in the money-market sphere, including its highly-sought out Islamic repurchase agreements (repos) and return swap transactions.
Discretionary Portfolio Management Account (DPMA) services were launched in 2001, offering investment solutions tailored to clients’ risk and return objectives. Servicing some of the region’s largest banks, pension funds, and investment companies, the division gives clients the ability to construct their portfolios in a flexible manner with unique and specific restrictions and requirements that would not normally exist in a fund.
