Kuwait Finance House-Bahrain received the "Best Investment Advisory Service 2013" award from CPI Financial for its role as the lead and transaction adviser for the three-way bank merger in Bahrain that was completed last December.

Since late-2011, KFH-Bahrain acted as lead and transaction adviser for the merger between three Bahrain-based Islamic banks — Elaf Bank, Capital Management House and Capivest — creating a strengthened financial institution with total equity exceeding $300 million and total assets in excess of $400 million spanning the Middle East and North Africa, Europe and Asia.
On receiving the award at the KFH-Bahrain Headquarters, Abdulhakeem Alkhayyat said: "Winning this prestigious award proves the market's understanding of the need to create stronger entities, as this is the first-ever merger of its kind that has resulted in creating a robust merged entity that is positioned to better compete in the dynamic and growing global Islamic banking and investment industry".
"We are thankful to God for successfully completing this transaction and we will continue our vision and strategies in contributing toward the economic growth and sustainability of Bahrain.
