Securities and Investment Company (SICO) BSC, a leading regional asset manager, broker, market maker, and investment bank based in Bahrain, has launched SICO Capital, a full-fledged capital markets services provider based in Saudi Arabia, as its newly rebranded subsidiary.
SICO Capital is the new brand for Muscat Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank Muscat which has been operating in Saudi Arabia since 2009. The launch of the new identity follows the completion of SICO’s acquisition of a majority stake from Bank Muscat, a leading financial institution based in the Sultanate of Oman, in March 2021.
Saudi Arabia’s national development vision, Vision 2030, has developed rapidly to become one of the most important markets for both regional and global investors. SICO Capital, being the region’s largest capital market, is ideally positioned to provide investors with profitable opportunities in a variety of sectors.

SICO Capital stands well-positioned to leverage its capabilities in order to offer new and existing clients premium financial services across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
