Qatar Insurance Company (QIC), a leading insurer in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, has been recognised as the “Top Investment House” during a survey conducted by The Asset magazine in collaboration with Benchmark Research.

The survey ranked top investment houses in Asian G3 bonds (issued by Asian issuers in USD, EUR and JPY) based on the number of votes won by their investors, said a statement from the company.

More than 290 different institutions including asset managers, hedge funds, private banks, banks and insurance companies/sovereign wealth funds were evaluated and shortlisted during the survey, it added.

The ranking methodology used for the survey was based on the number of votes received from top-rated analysts, economists and strategists, salespeople and traders for investors in these institutions, it said.

In addition, the ranking score was also subject to a weighting methodology, which was determined by the rating of the individual casting the vote for the investors.

Khalifa Turki A Al Subaey, group president and CEO, said: "The prestigious ranking serves as a testament to the resounding success of our business strategy built along a customer-centric and technologically progressive approach, ably backed by the investments team."

“Investments are a cornerstone for the success of our business. Not only does this showcase the goodwill and reputation that QIC has built over the years of its operation, but also brings to the fore our passion and commitment in maintaining our status as a market leader in the insurance and investment management space,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
