By remaining focused, we managed to increase shareholder equity from $100 million to $1 billion and asset management to $4 billion per year. We were in a growth market and that helped us a lot. Behind the rapid success is the core philosophy of investing only in real opportunities; as Mr. Al-Marri puts it: "We like to invest in the real economy. We don't like to get involved in cosmetic, over-inflated projects. We are focused on real economic issues and maintain a team of professionals to analyze and find the best investment for our clients. Most of our investments are in Kuwait. All our subsidiaries are Kuwaiti. We contribute to the economy by investing in different sectors and training young Kuwaitis."
