										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KFH Capital, the investment arm of Kuwait Finance House (KFH) Group, offers asset management, brokerage, and trading services across Kuwait and the wider region. The company serves individual, high-net-worth, and institutional clients through a range of Sharia-compliant investment solutions, and operates KFHtrade, its proprietary online trading platform.</p>
<p>Backed by the scale and governance standards of Kuwait Finance House, KFH Capital has built its reputation on combining strict adherence to Islamic finance principles with continuous investment in digital infrastructure, product innovation, and client experience across its asset management and trading businesses.</p>
<p>KFH Capital has picked up two honours at the <b><i>International Finance Awards 2026:</i></b> Fastest Growing Asset Management Company – Kuwait, and Best Shariah-Compliant Trading Platform – Kuwait, awarded to its proprietary platform, KFHtrade.</p>
<p>Over the past 18 months, both businesses have expanded quickly, driven by a client-first strategy, sustained investment in digital infrastructure, and a steady stream of new, Sharia-compliant products for individual, high-net-worth, and institutional investors.</p>
<p><b>A Client-First Growth Story<br />
</b>KFH Capital&#8217;s Asset Management Division has grown its assets under management and expanded its client base substantially over the award period, reflecting rising trust from investors across Kuwait and the region.</p>
<p>Much of that growth has come from a deliberate redesigning of the client journey: onboarding and account-opening procedures have been simplified and digitised, cutting processing times while preserving strict governance, compliance, and risk management standards.</p>
<p>Enhanced digital platforms now give clients clearer visibility into their portfolios and greater control over how they monitor and manage their investments.</p>
<p>Product innovation has reinforced this momentum. During the award period, KFH Capital launched the Equity Trading Finance Product on Boursa Kuwait, a pre-approved, Sharia-compliant financing solution offered exclusively to Kuwait Finance House clients that gives investors more efficient access to capital for equity trading.</p>
<p>The division has also broadened its discretionary portfolio management (DPM) offering with a global mandate, giving clients wider access to international markets as part of its Sharia-compliant investment solutions, expanded its market-making capabilities, broadened its client base, and strengthened liquidity across listed securities, and supported the marketing and distribution of several sukuk issuances, widening investor access to quality Sharia-compliant fixed-income opportunities.</p>
<p>Digital transformation has been a central thread across this growth. KFH Capital has invested heavily in digital capabilities that improve transparency and operational efficiency, while staying active in Boursa Kuwait&#8217;s infrastructure enhancement initiatives through both KFHtrade and the group&#8217;s brokerage arm, KFH Brokerage Company.</p>
<div></div>
<div>
<p>That involvement keeps the company positioned for further market evolution while reinforcing its reputation for reliability and regulatory excellence.</p>
<p><b>Kuwait&#8217;s Benchmark for Shariah-Compliant Online Trading<br />
</b>KFHtrade, KFH Capital&#8217;s proprietary online trading platform, has become the reference point for Sharia-compliant digital investing in Kuwait, giving retail, high-net-worth, and institutional clients transparent access to Boursa Kuwait, regional markets, and US markets.</p>
<p>Backed by the scale of Kuwait Finance House, the platform has recorded consistent growth in active trading accounts and trading volumes that has outpaced the broader market, alongside client retention and satisfaction levels that reflect its promise of simplicity, speed, and compliance.</p>
<p>Over the past 12 to 18 months, KFHtrade has introduced a series of firsts for the local market: a single screen for trading across multiple markets simultaneously, instant currency transfers within the platform, and direct integration with KFH bank accounts that allows clients to fund or withdraw from their trading accounts in real time.</p>
<p>Account opening and KYC updates can now be completed entirely online, removing the need for branch visits and reducing turnaround times across every stage of the client journey.</p>
<p>Underpinning all of this is a commitment to Sharia compliance as a foundation rather than an add-on: every product and process on KFHtrade is structured and continuously reviewed against Islamic finance principles.</p>
<p>That combination of compliance and digital innovation, according to KFH Capital, is what has allowed the platform to move quickly without asking clients to compromise on their values.</p>
<p>KFH Capital regards both recognitions as a checkpoint rather than an end point.</p>
<p>The company plans to keep expanding its asset management offering, diversify beyond its current concentration in the US and UK markets, and continue building on KFHtrade&#8217;s digital foundation as it works to strengthen its position as one of Kuwait&#8217;s most trusted Sharia-compliant investment institutions.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Profuturo has reinforced its position as one of Mexico’s strongest financial institutions, having been recognised as the best pension fund management company in Mexico by <b><i>International Finance</i></b> for the eighth consecutive year. This distinction reflects the strength of Profuturo’s strategy, the discipline shown in its asset management, and the company’s ability to achieve sustainable results for its clients.</p>
<p>This accolade is also an indication of the institutional strength that Profuturo has developed over the years to maintain competitive performance and generate value for its clients. The combination of a rigorous investment strategy, operational excellence, effective risk management, and a long-term approach has enabled the company to consistently provide value while protecting the financial well-being of millions of Mexican workers.</p>
<p>This <i><b>International Finance Award</b></i> recognises financial organisations that demonstrate excellence in the quality of their asset management, their operational strength, and their ability to generate lasting value. For Profuturo, this award reinforces a track record built on consistency, and on decision-making grounded in analysis, experience, and fiduciary responsibility.</p>
<p>Profuturo’s commitment to maintaining a long-term strategy supported by disciplined investment and risk management is reflected in its competitive and sustained results. This approach has enabled the company to maintain its position as the top-performing pension fund manager for the past nine years, according to the Net Performance Indicator published by Mexico’s National Commission for the Retirement Savings System (CONSAR), which further reinforces the company’s consistent ability to deliver value to its clients.</p>
<p>The consistency of Profuturo’s results has also been recognised by leading international investment research organisations. Most recently, Profuturo became the first institution in Latin America to receive Morningstar’s Gold Medalist Rating. This achievement reflects the strength of the company’s investment process, the quality of its management team, its ability to create consistent value over time, and further solidifies Profuturo’s standing among the region’s leading retirement fund management companies.</p>
<p>This performance is not an isolated achievement. Rather, it stems from the institutional capabilities developed by Profuturo to manage retirement savings from a long-term perspective. The company’s model combines a prudent investment strategy with efficient risk management and robust decision-making processes, enabling the organisation to balance sustainable value generation with the protection of its clients’ assets.</p>
<figure id="attachment_57551" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-57551" style="width: 440px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-57551" src="https://internationalfinance.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/ifm-profuturos-sustained-success-is-driven-by-consistent-results-v2.webp" alt="Arturo Garcia Rodriguez, CEO of Profuturo" width="440" height="320" srcset="https://internationalfinance.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/ifm-profuturos-sustained-success-is-driven-by-consistent-results-v2.webp 440w, https://internationalfinance.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/ifm-profuturos-sustained-success-is-driven-by-consistent-results-v2-300x218.webp 300w" sizes="(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-57551" class="wp-caption-text">Arturo Garcia Rodriguez, CEO of Profuturo</figcaption></figure>
<p>“Profuturo’s asset management is not only guided by institutional policies, but also by a genuine commitment to our clients,” said Antonio Sibaja, chief investment officer at Profuturo, for whom these results are far from incidental, arising instead from a management philosophy consistently applied over time. “We have demonstrated that it’s possible to maintain consistent returns even in complex environments. This speaks to our investment discipline, but above all, to our responsible stewardship of the retirement savings entrusted to us by millions of Mexicans.”</p>
<p>The true significance of Profuturo’s history of achievement lies in the impact it has had on millions of Mexican workers. By translating sound management and sustained results into improved retirement outcomes, the company has demonstrated its commitment to responsible management of retirement assets, with a long-term vision and a steadfast focus on delivering value to its clients.</p>
<p>Alongside its financial performance, Profuturo has built a comprehensive client-centered model designed to support workers throughout their retirement journey. By combining innovation, operational excellence, and ongoing guidance and support, the company has cultivated a service ecosystem that integrates specialised advisory services, accessible digital tools, and content designed to facilitate informed decision-making at every stage of life.</p>
<p>This distinction from International Finance is the result of a rigorous evaluation process that considers factors such as operational performance, management quality, leadership, and impact on the global financial sector. As such, it is a testament to Profuturo’s history of consistent performance and the company’s commitment to generating consistent value.</p>
<p>“Receiving this award for the eighth consecutive year comes with a great responsibility for our entire team,” said Arturo Garcia, CEO of Profuturo. “We strive every day to provide solid and reliable savings solutions tailored to the needs of Mexican workers. This achievement motivates us to continue creating value for our clients and supporting them at every stage of life to help them safeguard their financial well-being.”</p>
<p>With this latest milestone, Profuturo has confirmed that its proven results are the product of well-developed institutional capabilities and an enduring commitment to the people it serves. Profuturo’s robust management model, long-term approach, and unwavering pursuit of excellence will continue to guide its efforts to protect and strengthen the financial future and retirement goals of millions of Mexican workers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Asialink Finance Corporation has solidified its position as a key driver of change in the Philippines&#8217; non-bank finance industry, earning top honours at the recent International Finance Awards, which include &#8220;Best Auto Financing Company – Philippines 2025&#8221; and &#8220;Best SME Finance Company – Philippines 2025.&#8221; The recognition highlights the company’s long-standing commitment to supporting micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) across the Southeast Asian nation through accessible, responsible, and impact-driven financing solutions.</p>
<p>Asialink has been a market leader in the Philippines&#8217; finance industry for 28 years, supporting MSMEs, the backbone of the economy. Its financing solutions specifically cater to small, individually run enterprises and growing women-led businesses, enabling sustainable growth while addressing the ever-changing financing needs of their MSMEs. The recognition by the International Finance Awards, along with other global honours, further demonstrates the quality of the company&#8217;s services, which present inclusivity and excellence in supporting MSMEs through innovation, reach, and measurable economic impact.</p>
<p>Samuel Cariño, President and CEO of the Asialink Finance Corporation, said, &#8220;As a company committed to delivering accessible and reliable financial solutions, we are honoured to be recognised as the Best SME Finance Company and Best Auto Financing Company. These recognitions are not just milestones; they reflect our purpose and mission to empower Filipino entrepreneurs and individuals. They also serve as motivation to continue raising the bar, innovating our services, and exploring new ways to support the growth of our clients and communities. As we continue to expand our reach, we remain steadfast in our mission to innovate, serve with integrity, and help more Filipinos move forward with confidence.&#8221;</p>
<p>The company&#8217;s recognitions reflect years of consistent effort to bridge financing gaps, particularly for underserved segments facing limited access to formal credit. By December 2025, the company had released P16.6 billion in loans, a figure expected to grow steadily in 2026, highlighting strong demand and sustained trust from the Filipino communities the business serves.</p>
<p>A key pillar of Asialink’s SME strategy has been inclusive finance, particularly through initiatives supporting women entrepreneurs. The company launched the Women’s Access to Inclusive Support (WAIS) Loan, a programme providing financial tools for women-led enterprises in the Philippines to scale operations, manage challenges, and create long-term impact.</p>
<figure id="attachment_54906" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54906" style="width: 440px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54906" src="https://internationalfinance.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IFM-Asialink-Contract-Signing.webp" alt="IFM-Asialink Contract Signing" width="440" height="320" srcset="https://internationalfinance.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IFM-Asialink-Contract-Signing.webp 440w, https://internationalfinance.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IFM-Asialink-Contract-Signing-300x218.webp 300w" sizes="(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54906" class="wp-caption-text">Asialink Contract Signing</figcaption></figure>
<p>“We’ve seen how women entrepreneurs continue to push forward even in the most challenging times. Their strength, grit, and passion drive their own success and the growth of communities around them. Supporting women in business means investing in progress that uplifts families and fuels the nation’s economy,&#8221; Samuel Cariño told the International Finance.</p>
<p>Asialink recognises that many entrepreneurs build businesses to support families, strengthen communities, and create opportunities. By offering flexible, customer-centric financing, the company enables MSMEs to pursue growth that&#8217;s both economically viable and socially responsible.</p>
<p>“This year has been monumental for us at Asialink—marked by major milestones, meaningful partnerships, and the continued trust of the communities we serve. From empowering MSMEs and women entrepreneurs to celebrating industry recognition, our achievements are made possible by the dedication of our team and the confidence of our clients and partners,&#8221; the CEO noted.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, Asialink plans to expand its influence and impact across the region. According to Eleanor Yap, the company&#8217;s Chief Operating Officer (COO), Asialink will sustain momentum through strategic expansion, digital transformation, and people&#8217;s development.</p>
<p>&#8220;Asialink plans to maintain and grow its influence by exploring new markets and sectors, strengthening engagement with clients and partners, and continuously investing in technology and our people. This recognition inspires us to improve our systems further, introduce initiatives that support sustainable development, and empower businesses to thrive,&#8221; Eleanor Yap remarked.</p>
<p>Asialink&#8217;s recognition accentuates its continued role as a trusted partner to growing businesses and individuals. The company remains focused on making financing more accessible and relevant, helping MSMEs move forward and creating a positive impact for entrepreneurs, communities, and the economy they support.</p>

<p>International Finance had the pleasure of catching up with Bahrain Development Bank Group CEO Dalal AlQais, who was beaming with joy during the awards night after being named &#8216;Best Emerging Women Banking CEO – Bahrain 2024&#8217;. Adding to her elation, her company was also honoured with the &#8216;Most Innovative Digital Transformation Bank – Bahrain 2024&#8242; award, making it a doubly delightful evening for Dalal.</p>
<p>She said, &#8220;I am deeply honoured to receive the awards. It&#8217;s not just a personal reflection of my journey, but rather a testament to the time, effort, and clear strategy implemented by the employees of Bahrain Development Bank.&#8221;</p>
<p>After winning the ‘Best Foreign Bank – Saudi Arabia 2024&#8217; and &#8216;Best Cashback Credit Card – Saudi Arabia 2024’ awards, Emirates NBD (KSA) CEO Naser Yousef shared his excitement with International Finance.</p>
<p>An ecstatic Naser Yousef said, &#8220;We are thrilled to announce that we have won the Best Foreign Bank award for the fourth consecutive year. This marks my fourth time on stage to accept this honour, and in addition, we have also won the award for the best Cashback Credit Card.&#8221;</p>
<p>The CEO also spoke about the company&#8217;s growth and assured that Emirates NBD (KSA) will be back next year for their fifth consecutive award.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since our establishment in the Kingdom in 2004, we have grown to 21 branches, making us the largest branch network in the region. Being here for the fourth time is a significant achievement, and while it brings us joy, it also adds pressure to ensure we continue to excel and return next year. I must admit, I would be quite disappointed if we do not secure this recognition again next year for the fifth time. This commitment reflects our dedication to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,&#8221; the CEO added.</p>

<p>&#8220;We are truly blessed to have such a great team. This is the second consecutive year we&#8217;ve won, following our success last year. We are committed to cultivating a culture of high performance and providing our team with the tools they need to excel. We are fortunate to have a leadership team with a vision that supports and facilitates this culture among our members. Our leadership team has worked very hard over the past 12 months, and receiving this award from International Finance means a lot to them. I believe this recognition will pave the way for even more success in the future,&#8221; Beeah CFO Usman Tareen said.</p>
