From our CEO

Due to the impressive growth rate of Kazakhstan’s economy, there is increasing demand for investment in this resource-rich country. Kazakhstan is widely recognised as one of the strongest remaining emerging markets in the world, and Visor Capital is uniquely placed to assist investors with accessing this opportunity. We are firmly established as one of the leading investment banks in Central Asia, and also have an FSA authorised subsidiary in the UK that is a member of the London Stock Exchange.

Since 2006, Visor Capital has played a central role in many of the most important and innovative transactions in Kazakhstan. Over 2010-11 we have advised on over USD5 billion in landmark fixed income issuances and M&A transactions, and are currently acting as local financial adviser to Samruk Kazyna on the ongoing “People’s IPO” programme. Visor Capital benefits greatly from its diverse team of committed professionals, who provide a unique combination of local knowledge and international experience.

Despite the turbulent current market conditions, we are convinced that Kazakhstan presents a compelling investment case. Visor Capital has an excellent pipeline of work for 2012, and we look forward to delivering further successes for our clients.

Michael Sauer,
Chairman
