Congratulations to Najla Al Shirawi, Group CEO of SICO, on being named among Forbes Middle East’s Top 50 Asset Managers 2026.

Under her leadership, SICO has continued to strengthen its position as a leading regional asset manager, managing over USD 8.2 billion in assets with a direct presence across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Through a disciplined investment approach and a commitment to innovation and client success, SICO continues to deliver long-term value across the region.

SICO has successfully completed the merger of its previously wholly owned subsidiary, SICO Funds Services Company (SFS), into its operations.

This strategic milestone strengthens SICO’s integrated operating model by bringing fund administration, fund accounting, and custody services directly under SICO B.S.C. (c), enabling greater operational efficiency and a more seamless client experience.

The completion of the merger followed all regulatory and legal requirements, including the voluntary surrender of the SFS licence and the transfer of its business to SICO. This administrative step does not affect SICO B.S.C. (c)’s wholesale banking licence or ongoing operations, and the Bank continues to serve clients as usual under its licence issued by the Central Bank of Bahrain.

This milestone reinforces SICO’s commitment to delivering an integrated suite of investment solutions and creating long-term value for its clients.

[SICO @SICOBANK]

We would like to clarify that the recent notice published in the Official Gazette relates solely to SICO Funds Services Company (SFS), a former wholly owned subsidiary of SICO. It does not affect SICO B.S.C. (c), which continues to operate under its wholesale banking licence and conduct business as usual.

SICO successfully completed its advisory mandate on the share-swap acquisition of Truffle Hospitality Holding W.L.L. by Bahrain Family Leisure Company (BFLC), reinforcing its role as a trusted advisor on landmark transactions in the region.

The transaction was structured as a 100% share swap, valuing the deal at approximately BHD 3.7 million and resulting in Truffle becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BFLC. Following completion, Dividend Gate Capital W.L.L. now holds a 58% stake in BFLC, with the remaining 42% held by existing shareholders.

The combined group now represents one of the largest listed hospitality and food & beverage companies on the Bahrain Bourse, operating more than 20 brands and over 50 outlets across four GCC countries.
