Sahm Capital, a CMA-licensed financial company, has announced a strategic partnership with the Financial Academy, Saudi Arabia’s national institution for talent development in the financial sector. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aims to bolster financial literacy among investors and empower the Kingdom’s national talent, aligning with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to build a diverse and sustainable economy.
Bridging Theory and Practice with a Trading Simulator
At the core of this collaboration, Sahm Capital will provide the Financial Academy with an advanced trading simulation platform. Built on cutting-edge technology, the platform offers a safe and interactive virtual environment that mirrors real financial markets. This allows trainees and the public to apply theoretical concepts and practice trading strategies without incurring any real financial risk, effectively bridging the gap between academic knowledge and practical application.
Empowering a Financially Savvy Generation
The initiative reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the financial ecosystem through a powerful public-private partnership.
Mr. Mohammed Alhamazany, Chief of Capability Development at the Financial Academy, stated, “This collaboration represents a significant milestone in the field of applied financial training in the Kingdom. It reflects the Academy’s commitment to developing modern training tools that allow trainees to experience trading in a safe and realistic environment.”
He added, “Integrating Sahm Capital’s trading simulator into the Academy’s programs will enrich the learning experience, helping trainees acquire the practical skills needed to make sound financial decisions, enhance their readiness to compete in the financial sector, and support Vision 2030’s goal of building a financially aware and capable society.”
Mr. Steven Chow, Chairman of Sahm Capital, commented on the partnership’s vision, “Sahm Capital is deeply committed to building a confident and capable investor base. Partnering with the Financial Academy allows us to leverage our technology to create accessible and effective financial education. This simulator opens doors, removes barriers, and cultivates a financially savvy generation ready to participate actively and responsibly in the Kingdom’s vibrant capital markets.”
Strengthening The Kingdom’s Financial Ecosystem
The MoU extends beyond the simulation platform to include broader cooperation in knowledge exchange and strategic initiatives. This partnership is a pivotal step for both institutions in advancing financial awareness and developing national talent, ultimately contributing to a more mature and sustainable financial sector in Saudi Arabia.
