The new regulation marked a turning point in the Capital Market activities in the Kingdom, allowing for tremendous growth in the Initial Public Offering & Rights Issues market after many stagnant years.

For over forty years, AFG has been extensively engaged in company formations, conducting valuations, managing share floatation and registration of Saudi Joint Stock Companies at the Saudi Share Registrar, which had subsequently been converted to Tadawul (The Saudi Exchange).

Equity Capital Markets Services are executed in several phases. These typically require the advisory team to interact with the Regulators, third-party advisors, and potential shareholders.
