Promoting and underwriting investments in securities

Participation in the formation of companies that issue securities, or in the
increase of their capital (Egyptian equivalent to the Holding Company)

Venture capital

Securities clearing and settlement activities

The creating of securities portfolios and investment funds and portfolio and
investment fund management

Securities brokerage activities

Any other activities relating to the field of securities may be added to this list by a decision of the Minister of Economy after obtaining the approval of the CMA.
