How long have you worked in fund selection, and what do you enjoy most about it?
Over two decades — and what keeps it interesting is catching emerging themes before they become consensus.
Looking ahead to 2026, which key asset allocation calls do you expect to be rewarded, and why?
Being based in Oman, I have a front-row seat to what is a genuinely compelling market story. The drive toward emerging market index inclusion, fiscal discipline, rising trading volumes, earnings growth and a deepening privatisation pipeline — the confluence of these factors points to a market that is structurally re-rating, and in my view, there is still meaningful room for growth.
In the city where you work, which restaurant would you most recommend to visitors, and why?
Rozna — for authentic Omani cuisine in a beautifully traditional setting.
