Dubai Forums Dubai Business Dubai Business Talk

I really want to invest in Dubai and I am open to any and all sectors (Hotels, Real Estate/REIT's, Dredging, Services, the new islands, airlines, etc).
The problem is that I live in the United States and will not be able to get to the Dubai and the UAE for some time. Can anyone offer any suggestions or ideas on how I might invest money without physically being there. I have been scouring stocks relating to Dubai without finding any specific to the growth in Dubai. I have tried to find private companies that are willing to sell shares or let me invest with them with no luck. I even tried investing through the Abu Dhabi Securities Market and the Dubai Financial Market only to find out you need to set up an account in person in Dubai.
I would really appreciate if someone with more knowledge in this area would help me out and offer me any tips on how to invest in Dubai remotely...without actually visiting Dubai. I want to get there in the next couple years but I don't want to wait that long to get involved.
Thanks to anyone that can help me out.

Although in Dubai (DFM) you are technically able to obtain an investor number by FAX, i've yet to see this successfully work, generally you have to go in person to obtain an investor number. ADSM you don't even have the choice, you have to go in person.

There are UAE based mutual funds, i don't know much about them but National Bank of Abu Dhabi apparently has a very good GCC fund with focus on the UAE. These mutual funds are open to foreigners.

If you do mind to get an Investor Number you can open an account with a brokerage with online trading, there are >20 online trading options.

Good luck.

I don't know how much it helped because it still sounds like i will have to make it to Dubai in order to get the ball rolling but at least I know that once I get there and get an investor # (If ever) that I can trade remotely.

Now does anyone have any ideas on how to invest (in a non-sketchy way) in Dubai without having to actually visit Dubai? My options are very open, can anyone help?

Thanks

Hello Matt

I live for around 22 years in Dubai with a own company and I work for companies.

On this moment I work with my own company in Russia and the CIS countries, special/heavy transports for the oil companies from EU to Sakhalin.

Matt, there are a view projects that can give you a good provit, in Oman and in the UAE but also in Russia/CIS.

We are from Holland and our company name is GMT Holding BV we have one of our companies www.nedlog.info and we do military scrap transports around the world.

There is a new group of investors busy with eco scraping, of single haul ships, this kind of ships you can not use anymore for transport, only dubble haul ships on this moment, and have to go to the scrap yards with a IMO certificate. (20% ore more on a investment)

For more info please send a mail to Henks Schoonbeek info@gmtholding.nl

Happy to discuss opportunities with serious individuals but don't want to receive irrelevant comments, spam etc.

How dare you say that Maad posted and irrelevant comment. In fact he posted good sound advice on here regarding as did Sniper, cowboys and fraudsters on forums using crap unprofessional email addys, especially where finance and investment is concerned.

I have therefore deleted links to you hotmail, if you want to been seen as a professional then post using a valid company email address.

I have also deleted links to gmail.

I successfully obtained an ADSM investor number through my broker. But they didn't know they'd been successful. I only found out a few months later when I went to ADSM in person and checked my name.

AFAIK you need a resident's visa to get an investor number. Brokers also ask for passport copies with resident visas when opening accounts.

In reference to the OPs question about investing, you could try one of the banks or finance houses and see if you can buy into one of their funds - you'd be getting exposure indirectly to the local sharemarkets. But my guess is they'll probably want to see a residency visa.

An investor faced with an opportunity to invest in two competing companies may reduce risk by simply investing in both and merging them. Roll ups are often part of the shakeout and consolidation process during an economic downturn or as new market sectors begin to mature.

Roll ups of complementary or unrelated companies are also done to:

• Build a full-capability company, when it would be too costly or time consuming to develop the missing pieces through internal expansion.
• Blending companies have different financial metrics, often to make the combined company attractive for investment, mergers and acquisitions, or an initial public offering.
