Wealth Management A Shared Aspiration

From a single grain of sand comes a thing of beauty. Successful wealth management is like a pearl, it is all about the transformation of cash flows into assets and assets into wealth. Like the pearl, this is a process that requires more than just a grain of sand. It is a patient and disciplined process where layer after layer, the construction of beauty occurs. This is why wealth management is a matter of understanding what the aspiration is in you and just like the pearl, starting early will result in absolute beauty. We have the tools and experience to grow your wealth in the same way as the pearl is created. Licensed as an Investment Business Firm (Category 1) by the Central Bank of Bahrain, C.R.

A shared aspiration Samer S. Khanachet Chairman TAKAUD is the Arabic word for retirement and it sums up our mission. We all share common aspirations to raise a family, educate our children, live comfortably and retire with financial security. We will not be able to realise them without taking action. We all know that the lack of market knowledge and the difficulty to access good financial products and managers stand in the way of achieving our dreams. TAKAUD was established to address these very important needs. TAKAUD has built a state of the art financial platform and assembled a team of world-class professionals to help make your dreams come true. TAKAUD works with you to build a plan around your financial objectives and ability.

Bahraini pearls are considered the best in the world, and as a Bahraini company, TAKAUD aspires to maintain this proud national heritage.
