WHY CHOOSE US?
FX GCC
Based in the fast-emerging financial epicentre of the Middle East, GMG’s dedicated FX team has worked hard to establish itself as the market leader in the GCC FX market over the past few years.
Today, our GCC FX desk acts as an independent intermediary for a wide and prestigious client base, offering the full spectrum of currency trading requirements across a range of tenors. With the aid of the best technology on the market, our pricing screens are professionally managed and considered to be the most accurate in the GCC. We also ensure we always provide added value to our clients’ financial and liquidity requirements.
It is these invaluable tools, along with our vast depth of experience, that has allowed us to take our place as one of Dubai’s paramount GCC FX brokerage houses.

EMERGING MARKET CREDIT
As well as leading the way through the use of cutting-edge technology, GMG has also very quickly established itself as a prominent voice broker in the Middle East – broking all emerging markets bonds off-screen. This dedicated service is currently being spread to the Eastern European markets.
Our expert team of brokers boast nearly two decades of experience in the market – covering all financial institutions and asset managers – providing liquidity off-screen primarily in Middle East Bonds and Sukuks, as well as CEE, Russia, Turkey and Africa in hard currencies.
ZAR
GMG’s Dubai headquarters serves customers on ZAR in both London and South Africa. Primarily focused on IRS, Fra, asset packs and basis, the dedicated ZAR team offers access to competitive emerging market fixed income products.
All GMG ZAR brokers have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the market and pride themselves in a wide array of strong relationships with national banks and international financial institutions. All of this combines to allow us to deliver the best facilitations in the ZAR market.
TURKISH DESK
At GMG we leverage our deep local and international knowledge to seek out maximum value from niche markets for the ultimate purpose of our existence, our client’s needs.
Our Turkish desk provides and covers the full spectrum of Turkish fixed income financial products – everything from money market, cross currency swaps, FX swaps to corporate and government bonds.
With unrivalled market knowledge here in the UAE, our dedicated Turkish desk is on hand to offer a personalised and superior service, built to meet the individual needs of our clients.
GCC INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES
The GCC Interest Rate Derivatives desk was the first to be launched at GMG back in 2009. Since then it has developed into the biggest in the region and now dominates the GCC interest rate swap and forward rate agreement markets.
Our expert team of specialist brokers call on years of experience in interest rate derivatives to offer full coverage of the GCC market. As is the case with every GMG desk, our GCC interest rate derivatives service is fully bespoke and personalised.
We form close, lasting bonds with our clients to provide unrivalled market insight and liquidity in interest rate derivatives.
RUB
GMG’s Dubai headquarters serves customers on RUB in both London and Moscow. The desk focuses on derivatives and money market instruments, such as cross-currency, IRS, FRA and FX swaps. In the coming year, GMG will be branching out to open an office in Moscow offering access to RUB denominated local government and corporate bonds.
The GMG RUB team not only offers extensive experience in the market and excellent contacts on the ground and at the policy level, but also boasts a wide array of strong relationships with national banks and international financial institutions. The head of the desk holds 16 years of experience as Head of Research and as a PM with a focus on Russian assets. This allows our team to deliver the best facilitations in RUB financial products.
The desk has also launched its very own research division which releases to its clients a daily report summarizing market news, upcoming events, and currency fluctuation amongst other things dominating the regions our clients operate within.
