Dubai-headquartered investment and brokerage firm Noor Capital P.S.C. has officially confirmed the appointment of Mohammed Younis as the permanent Chief Executive Officer of its brokerage division, after serving nine months in the role on an acting basis.
Younis had taken on the acting CEO position in May 2025, succeeding the previous division head, Mohammed Ghosheh, and has now been elevated to the full leadership role. His new mandate reflects Noor Capital’s confidence in both his leadership and operational expertise within the firm.
A long-time insider with nearly 11 years at Noor Capital, Younis brings deep institutional knowledge of the company’s operations and strategic priorities, particularly in its brokerage services — which include sales, trading and market-making across foreign exchange (Forex), indices, and commodities.
Noor Capital is regarded as one of the UAE’s leading brokerage houses licensed by the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), serving a diversified client base of institutional and high-net-worth investors, as well as family offices and professional traders.
Under Younis’s leadership, the brokerage arm is expected to continue strengthening its market position by enhancing its trading platforms — including MetaTrader integration — and expanding product offerings to meet growing demand in global markets.
The firm’s shareholder structure is multinational, with significant participation from investors in the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain, which underscores its regional footprint and liquidity backing.
This leadership confirmation also comes against a backdrop of broader strategic expansion by Noor Capital, which has been active in international market initiatives — including its entrance into the UK market in 2023 — and scaling its suite of asset-class services beyond traditional brokerage.
Industry observers see this executive move as part of a trend among financial firms in the Middle East reinforcing executive stability to support growth in volatile markets. In recent months, several brokerage and fintech companies have also announced senior leadership changes as they navigate regulatory environments, technology upgrades, and client service demands.
With Younis now at the helm of the brokerage division, stakeholders inside and outside the UAE will be watching how Noor Capital balances innovation, risk management and regional expansion in a global trading landscape that continues to evolve rapidly.
