MeritKapital has established a significant presence in the global financial landscape through its substantial achievements and strategic initiatives. Key accomplishments include:
In the aftermath of the Cyprus banking crisis, MeritKapital rose to prominence as the principal trader of distressed Bank of Cyprus deposits, a development that was instrumental in forging critical partnerships with prominent US buy-side funds, thereby enhancing its role in facilitating complex financial transactions.
In a landmark move in 2015, MeritKapital served as a co-underwriter for an indirect subsidiary of the Kazakh sovereign wealth fund. This endeavour was notable for introducing the first Eurobond denominated in Kazakh tenge that was also settle-able on the Euroclear and Clearstream platforms, marking a significant milestone in international finance.
MeritKapital's asset management division has demonstrated resilience and strategic foresight, particularly during periods of financial uncertainty such as the subprime and euro-debt crises. The division's focus on a predominantly fixed income strategy, aimed at capital preservation and the achievement of steady returns, has been a testament to its commitment to stability and prudent financial management.
These developments underscore MeritKapital’s capacity for innovation, its ability to navigate complex financial landscapes, and its commitment to the principles of stability and strategic growth in the face of global financial challenges.
