Since converting to a corporate member of the Karachi Stock Exchange in June 1999 the firm has emerged as the top equity trading house in Pakistan.
AKD's corporate finance group was set up in March 2000 around a core team of dynamic professionals with extensive international and local experience. AKD's corporate finance team has already succeeded in executing a number of high profile transactions, putting it at the top of the equity, debt and M&A league tables in Pakistan.
AKD will formally launch its new venture capital fund, TMT Frontier Ventures, in September 2000 upon completion of its 35,000 square foot Karachi Cyberport. AKD plans to use its venture capital fund and Cyberport to provide young telecom, media and technology companies with the capital, strategic direction and infrastructure they need to become leading regional players in their respective sectors.
AKD's vision for the future is to transform the economic landscape in Pakistan and other frontier capital markets by finding innovative ways to overcome the numerous financial, technical and other constraints to the effective deployment of private capital in these markets.
