Capital Investments, one of Jordan’s leading brokerage and asset management firms, welcomed the recent decision by the Prime Ministry regarding the tax treatment of mutual funds. The company described the decision as a strategic milestone for strengthening Jordan’s capital market and restoring momentum to the Amman Stock Exchange.

Bashar Amad, CEO of Capital Investments, said, “This decision reflects the government’s commitment to supporting the capital market, and we are already seeing its positive impact on the Amman Stock Exchange.”

He added that this policy shift will help address long-standing challenges facing the market, whether external, such as regional and global crises, or internal, relating to capital market laws and regulations.

Amad emphasized the vital role of mutual funds, calling them the “most important investment vehicle” for individuals and institutions alike. He explained that these funds help stabilize financial markets, attract foreign investment, and allow investors to manage their portfolios effectively through licensed, experienced fund managers.

As part of its commitment to expanding investment opportunities, Amad stated that Capital Investments will begin registering new mutual funds, after obtaining all necessary administrative and regulatory approvals. These funds aim to provide clients with a wider range of saving and investment options.

He concluded by stressing that the company looks forward to additional government measures to stimulate the bonds and sukuk markets, and to encourage major financial institutions, including banks, insurance companies, and pension funds to direct more investment toward local equities and businesses.
