ICELAND REVIEW 105
Invest
In Iceland
doing business in Iceland. These clients are rely-
ing on our general market knowledge but also on
our expertise in specific sectors such as energy,
real estate and tourism. We also have a group of
investors who have invested in our own funds.
A recent example is the FÍ Commercial Property
fund we launched earlier this year. We also have
foreign clients who use our capital market exper-
tise and trade with us in bonds, equities and FX.
MP Bank has also had a leading position when it
comes to the Central Bank’s currency auctions.
Most of these clients we deal with through vari-
ous divisions also end up banking with us which
is exactly what we are striving for, a 360 degrees
client service. Clients also like the fact that we are
an independent private bank with a very focused
business model. I believe our expertise and
experience should put us in a very good position
servicing foreign investors going forward.
