SNB Capital Brings Together Saudi-Listed Companies and Investors at “Growth Connect” to Strengthen Engagement and Support Growth Opportunities in Capital Markets

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 10 September 2026: SNB Capital hosted its annual “Growth Connect” forum at Sofitel hotel, Riyadh on 9–10 September 2026, bringing together more than 65 companies listed on the Saudi Exchange’s Main Market and Parallel Market, along with over 500 institutional investors, regulatory entities, and strategic partners.

The forum aims to provide an effective platform for listed companies to engage with institutional investors and discuss growth opportunities across the capital markets. Growth Connect also builds on SNB Capital’s ongoing “Connect” series, launched three years ago through initiatives such as Nomu Connect, Sukuk Connect, and Investor Connect.

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Rashed Sharif, CEO of SNB Capital, said:

“Growth Connect reflects SNB Capital’s ongoing commitment to contributing to the development of Saudi capital markets by connecting Saudi-listed companies with institutional capital and enabling key market participants to regularly and effectively explore emerging opportunities. This further strengthens private-sector participation, deepens capital markets, and supports its diversification and long-term growth”.  
 

SNB Capital has received three Euromoney awards, recognizing its leadership across equity capital markets, research, and Islamic structured finance. The institution was named Saudi Arabia's Best Investment Bank for Equity Capital Markets (ECM) and Saudi Arabia's Best for Research at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026, and Saudi Arabia's Best Islamic Structured Finance House at the Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards 2026.

The Euromoney Awards for Excellence and Islamic Finance Awards are among the global finance industry’s most trusted recognitions, honoring institutions for their leadership, innovation, and client impact.

SNB Capital maintains a leading position in Saudi Arabia’s ECM market, holding more than 50% market share[1] at the end of 2025 and advising on the SAR 7.13 billion (USD 1.9 billion) ACWA Power rights issue, the Kingdom’s largest ECM transaction that year.[2]

That same market leadership carried into Islamic structured finance, where SNB Capital acted as joint lead on Saudi Real Estate Refinance Company's SAR 7.5 billion (USD 2 billion) Regulation S Guaranteed Sukuk in February 2025, one of the Kingdom's landmark Shariah-compliant financing transactions.

Underpinning both, SNB Capital launched its enhanced Research Portal, releasing 1,958 reports that delivered key investor insights and supported greater transparency across the Saudi capital market.

Together, these awards highlight SNB Capital’s contribution to Saudi Arabia’s capital markets, reaffirming its position as the institution of choice for issuers and investors seeking best-in-class execution, analysis, and Shariah-compliant solutions in the Saudi market.
