Our new brand EMRGO (previously Wethaq)

We are pleased to announce our new brand EMRGO. This reflects the expansion of our offering beyond the Gulf to the broader Emerging Markets (EM). Our vision remains to connect the private side of the EM with the global markets and ‘unlock’ opportunities for our clients. Our range of solutions are tailored for the mid-sized EM firms seeking to access the global markets as well as the EM investment community which are underserved and over-charged by the global banks. These range from investment banking & markets, venture & growth banking, sales & trading, custody & securities services, and fintech & market infrastructure. Please take a moment to visit our revamped website at www.EMRGO.com, to explore our new identity, gain insights into our solutions, and stay updated on our latest news and developments.
