Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – February 24, 2025 – Amid the rapid evolution of the global economy, investors are gearing up for significant changes expected by 2025. A showcase of this proactive approach took place recently at the Riyadh Financial Market Forum 2025, where Sahm Capital, a leading financial services provider, hosted a training camp to empower investors.
The event, held on February 19, was part of broader initiatives aimed at enhancing financial literacy among the public and university students. “While Saudi Arabia continues to bolster its financial sector under Vision 2030, it’s imperative we equip everyone—from beginners to seasoned investors—with the skills and knowledge they need to seize these opportunities,” said Hadeel Badiri, General Manager of Sahm Capital and Head of Brokerage.
This training program was not just about theoretical knowledge; it delivered practical insights and strategies for success within the growing capital markets of Saudi Arabia. The focus was primarily on initial public offerings (IPOs), which Badiri highlighted as pivotal to the financial ecosystem. “Understanding how to engage with IPOs is key. They are fundamental to the financial system and offer great potential for investors,” she explained.
Through this program, Sahm Capital aims to spark interest among new investors, encouraging them to contribute to building a prosperous future for Saudi Arabia's economy. The firm confirmed its commitment to fostering financial culture through initiatives like the Sahm Academy, integrated within the Sahm application. This app provides users at different skill levels with market analysis tools, simplified educational videos, training courses, and detailed research reports.
“Today’s goal is to stimulate a new generation of aspiring investors ready for the opportunities the market presents,” Badiri added, emphasizing the long-term vision the firm shares with the Saudi government’s economic plans.
This investment training camp also reflects Sahm Capital's strategic partnership with the Saudi Stock Exchange, where it serves as the exclusive sponsor for the ‘Invest Wisely’ program. This initiative is viewed as another significant step toward empowering investors by providing them with necessary knowledge and skills to thrive within the ever-evolving investment environment.
Further underlining its position as a leader, Sahm Capital is the first fintech-supported company to receive full regulatory licensing from the Capital Market Authority (CMA), allowing it to offer a comprehensive array of financial services. Its innovative financial solutions and advanced technologies are poised to meet and exceed investor needs.
“We are continually enhancing our efforts and impacts through strategic partnerships and remain committed to supporting investors amid the changing capital market scene,” Badiri stated.
Sahm Capital also developed the Sahm application, which is specially crafted for investors within Saudi Arabia. The app not only facilitates trading across Saudi and U.S. financial markets but also boasts user-friendly interfaces and diverse investment options. It has quickly ascended to be among the top three free financial apps on Google's Play Store.
Investors and capital market watchers are keeping close tabs on these developments, anticipating how they may influence economic predictions as we approach 2025. The training camp's insights and the initiatives launched by Sahm Capital could potentially play a significant role in shaping the investment culture and the overall economy of Saudi Arabia.
