Mubasher Financial Services (MFS), one of the leading brokerage houses in the Middle East, has announced that it has been voted the Best Brokerage House during the 9th annual Banker Middle East Industry Awards organized by CPI Financial recently in Bahrain. The distinction was a fitting follow-up to the Best Equities Broker award that Mubasher received during the Banker Middle East Product Awards 2009 held in Dubai. Every year, thousands of bankers, lawyers, accountants, industry analysts, news providers and other financial experts in the MENA vote to determine the winners of the prestigious Banker Middle East Industry Awards. Thousands of registered readers of Banker Middle East and registered users of the CPI website also participated in the voting process this year, which resulted in the most number of votes being cast in the Awards' history. Sikandar Ladha, Bahrain country manager, Mubasher Financial Services, who received the award, said: “This distinction is a validation of our commitment to excellence in delivering superior financial services and solutions to our clients. Furthermore, this award will open new possibilities and fresh opportunities for growth as it will further strengthen the Mubasher brand in the fast-developing markets of the Middle East. Our customers can trust that we will continue to be highly responsive and proactive in dealing with new challenges and addressing their evolving requirements, which will ultimately enable them to optimize their investment activities in the region.” Mubasher Financial Services offers direct market access to Middle Eastern and leading international stock markets through one counter party contract.
