Sidra Capital And Former White House Advisor Meet Local Investors

“The US remains an interesting investment destination for our investors, although it is unclear whether the current administration intends to change legal frameworks with regards to immigration or the residential status of an investor. It also remains to be seen if President Trump will follow through with his promise for sweeping economic reform,” said Hani Baothman, Vice Chairman of Sidra Capital. “Mr. Buchholz with his vast experience in US politics and his connections to the White House will be able to shed light on many of the issues that are of concern to our investors.

“Our success is based on being very close to our investors and taking their concerns seriously. Therefore, we have created a platform where our investors can discuss their concerns not only with us but also with high profile international experts.”

Todd Buchholz brings his experience as a former White House director of economic policy, managing director of the $15 billion Tiger hedge fund, and a Harvard economics teacher to the table.
