The first investment-management company in the Gulf region managed by ladies for the benefit of ladies will be inaugurated in January 1998. The Qatar Ladies Investment Company is the brainchild of 28-year-old managing director and shareholder Sheikha Hanadi Al Thani who saw a need to fill the very large gap in women’s finance in her country.
The company is designed to have a dual function: to allow high-net-worth Qatari women to manage their assets themselves (at present, men still run the show), and to allow women to be actively involved in the running of an investment company.
