SICO has been honoured as the ‘Best Investment Bank in Bahrain’ at the Global Finance 2026 Awards, marking its seventh consecutive win.
The award underscores SICO’s regional leadership in asset management and its ability to execute high-profile transactions that drive capital market maturity.
Throughout 2025, SICO demonstrated its market dominance by acting as the execution agent for Ma’aden’s landmark $1 billion acquisition of a 20.62 per cent stake in Alba and serving as the lead manager for the Silah Gulf IPO, which was oversubscribed four times.
The firm also pioneered innovative financial solutions, including managing Bahrain’s first-ever microfinancing asset securitisation for Flooss Bahrain and launching the $50 million Albaraka Türk Values and Wealth Türkiye Sukuk Fund.
SICO Group chief executive officer Najla Al Shirawi said this sustained recognition reflects the bank’s commitment to high-quality advisory and disciplined execution.
As the top broker on the Bahrain Bourse for three decades, SICO continues to leverage its deep regional research and expertise to reinforce Bahrain’s standing as a leading global financial hub.
