KMEFIC was listed in the Kuwait Stock Exchange (Boursa Kuwait) in July 1997.<\/p><p>KMEFIC has gained a solid foothold in the market owing to its inherent traits represented by innovation, in line with the global developments that reflect on all its products and services. In this context, KMEFIC is keen to diversify its products and services, which include, but are not limited to, the launch of US REITS, the offering of derivatives on shares listed in the Kuwait Stock Exchange, as well as providing the ability to trade U.S. and Kuwaiti shares through a single electronic platform.
