Equity Partners Limited was formed in early 2000, and has quickly established itself as the leading player in the capital markets of Bangladesh. Equity Partners Limited provides merchant banking, brokerage and asset management services under the purview of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Bangladesh. Its offices are located at 1003, (9th floor), Dhaka Stock Exchange Annex Building, 9/E Motijheel Commercial Area, Dhaka 1000. Equity Partners Limited is a meeting of minds of several internationally experienced stockbrokers and fund managers who believe that the Bangladesh market possesses increasingly high quality corporates whose investment banking needs are not fully serviced through the incumbent merchant banks, who fail to offer proper valuations or advice, and certainly do not aspire to work to international standards. The missing link with the global economy has also been filled by Equity Partners Limited, created by institutions and individuals across three continents who are all involved in the day to day business of international equity investment. Equity Partners Limited is an SEC-licensed merchant bank, having the largest paid up capital of any Bangladeshi merchant bank. The firm's services comprise of Public Issues & Corporate Advisory, Domestic and International Placements, and Research. The Chairman of Equity Partners Limited is Mr. Andrew Fraser. The resident Director is Saiful Islam. Equity Partners Securities Limited is the securities affiliate of Equity Partners Limited, having a membership at both of the country's stock exchanges, the Dhaka Stock Exchange and the Chittagong Stock Exchange. The firm offers brokerage services to international institutions, domestic institutions, and retail clients. The firm has obtained the broker/dealer license from the SEC and will aim to increase the exposure of Bangladesh in the international fund management circles. Equity Partners Asset Management Limited, a separate fund management company, aims to provide high quality asset management skills and technology to originate and manage private sector mutual funds in the local capital market. |
