KFH Trade is the securities service offered by KFH Capital Investment Company, combining online orders with broker-assisted dealing. Its published universe consists of Shariah-compliant shares in six markets. The service has a KWD 2,500 opening minimum; brokerage commissions, exchange-data subscriptions and the optional Pro platform are separate costs. Kuwait’s CMA renewal identifies KFH Capital as a securities broker not registered with an exchange, alongside its portfolio-management, advisory, custody and fund permissions.[1][2][10][7]
