Our partnership Since then, H+K has worked with Tadawul to develop and implement a multi-faceted program comprising international media outreach, thought leadership, speaker opportunities and investor roadshow support. This program aimed to raise awareness among institutional investors, global financial institutions, index providers and other influencers of both the increased accessibility of the Saudi market to international investors as well as the comprehensive reforms and market enhancements undertaken by Tadawul and its regulator, the Capital Market Authority, to strengthen the effectiveness of the Saudi Capital market, foster an attractive investment environment for local and international investors and align its regulatory frameworks with international best practices.
Growth story The global outreach program has been tremendously successful, securing 60 interviews and 7.3 billion media impressions from 609 articles in the world’s leading financial and business media outlets, contributing to a more than four-fold increase in the number of registered QFIs and culminating in Tadawul gaining inclusion in all three of the preeminent global benchmark indices – MSCI, FTSE Russell and S&P Dow Jones – during the first six months of 2018.
