As one of the most promising sectors in Egypt, the financial services sector is poised for huge growth

OIH through its investments aims to become the largest financial services provider in emerging markets through steadily expanding our services portfolio and our geographical presence.

Beltone

In late 2015, OIH acquired a controlling stake in Beltone Financial Holding, Egypt’s largest asset manager with 25 billion EGP in assets under management and over 100 billion EGP in M&A and capital market transactions.
Since then, Beltone has executed an ambitious turn around growing its existing business lines as well as expanding the company’s offerings both locally and internationally with the aim of creating a Middle East based global investment bank.

In 2016 OIH supported Beltone in the acquisition of majority shares of Auerbach Grayson, a New York-based brokerage and placement agent with access to over 125 markets taking the first step in creating a global investment bank.

While working on expanding globally, Beltone continues to grow its presence locally, increasing its brokerage market share from 2.1% to 5.2% and accordingly its ranking from 18th to 2nd, and aggressively growing its existing business lines.
