Lack of depth of capital markets in the GCC region and high fragmentation of the industry are acting as restraints to the growth,” says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Kavitha Chakravarthy. “Gaining investor confidence and marketing the foreign-domiciled funds by asset management companies and increasing operational efficiency will be a major challenge.
