Since the start of trading in August 2006, Visor Capital has become a market leader and has quickly become the broker of choice for many local and international asset managers. Visor Capital is now the largest broker in Kazakhstan. In 2007 we regularly claimed top market share in trading volume on the KASE. In 2008 with much reduced volumes from both international and local investors, the local pension funds, who trade direct, have dominated the flow. In 2008 we maintained a top 3 position with 28% market share and our strong deal flow has ensured that, we have regularly held the number one position.

Our goal is to maintain this position through exceptional client services, high quality research and superior trading execution
