Sahm has been granted a license by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), further strengthening Valuable Capital Group Limited (VCGL)’s presence in the region.
Issued to its UAE entity, Sahm Financial Limited, the license marks a significant step in establishing the firm’s regulated operations within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
Under this license, Sahm Financial Limited is authorized to carry out a variety of regulated activities, including providing advice on financial products, arranging investment deals, and acting as an agent in investment transactions.
The license also allows the firm to serve retail clients and to hold or control client assets, all in accordance with the DFSA’s stringent standards for investor protection and market integrity.
Steven Chou, Chairman of Sahm Financial Limited (DIFC) and Sahm Capital (KSA), Chief Strategy Officer at Valuable Capital Group, said that, “We are honored to receive this DFSA license and to deepen our commitment to the UAE market. Dubai has established itself as one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic financial hubs, home to a well-educated, tech-savvy, and sophisticated investor community with a strong appetite for innovative and globally accessible investment solutions.”
Sahm’s Expansion into the UAE and GCC
The company’s entry into the UAE builds upon the successful operations of the Group’s Saudi entity, which was licensed by the Saudi Capital Market Authority (CMA) in 2024. The Group has rapidly developed an intuitive all-in-one platform, Sahm App, that allows users to trade Saudi and US markets efficiently.
With its focus on simplicity, powerful trading tools, and excellent customer support, the firm has earned strong appreciation from investors across the Kingdom, surpassing one million users.
Now regulated in both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, it is well-positioned to serve the growing and diverse investor base across the GCC. The Group remains fully committed to compliance, innovation, and delivering high-quality services that meet the expectations of clients in the United Arab Emirates.
