Global Investment Holdings became the leading independent brokerage and investment banking firm in Turkey soon after its establishment in 1990. The Company has played a vital role in the development of Turkish capital markets by paving the way for many of the country’s leading businesses to meet international businesses for the first time. The Company transformed into an investment portfolio company in late 2004 drawing on its appetite for growing investments and its extensive investment banking experience. With interests in a variety of budding business sectors and traditional non-bank financial service providers, Global Investment Holdings has evolved into a dynamic investment vehicle. Global Investment Holdings is trading on the Borsa Istanbul under the ticker symbol GLYHO.IS. At this time, the Global Investment Holdings Group operates in four key business areas: Port Infrastructure: the operation of cruise ship and commercial seaports; Energy: Compressed natural gas sales and distribution, energy efficiency, renewable power generation, and mining; and large scale power generation; Real Estate: development and operation of commercial real estate projects; Finance: non-banking financial services, including brokerage, advisory, and asset management.
