DHF Capital Partners with Tauro Markets in the UAE

DHF Capital teams up with Tauro Markets to expand its investment reach across the Middle East amid record-breaking growth.

DHF Capital S.A., a Luxembourg-based securitization and investment firm, has announced a strategic partnership with Tauro Markets, a rapidly growing multi-asset trading platform based in the United Arab Emirates. The move marks a significant milestone in DHF Capital’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its footprint in the Middle East.

Although it lacks specific terms or structural details, the partnership marks a key step in DHF Capital’s broader expansion strategy, first hinted at in January. The firm, led by CEO and Asset Manager Bas Kooijman, seeks to leverage Tauro Markets’ regional presence and infrastructure to serve both institutional and professional investors across the Gulf region.

“This collaboration allows us to explore new frontiers for the benefit of investors, offering them enhanced insights and capabilities,” said Kooijman, whose company specializes in diversified portfolios spanning forex, equities, and precious metals.

DHF Capital Partners with Tauro Markets in the UAE

Tauro Markets, headquartered in Dubai, is a new but ambitious player in the CFD (contract for difference) trading space. Since launching in late 2024, the broker has made several high-profile hires to support its growth, including Carl Nemr as Chief Commercial Officer and Nadine Azzam as Partner-CEO for the MENA region. Anastasios Lamaris, with prior stints at Octa and Scope Markets, has been brought in to oversee product development.

Tauro Markets’ CEO, Alexander Wilhelm Oelfke, called the alliance “a powerful alignment of vision and capability,” noting the firms are “reshaping what’s possible in the world of investing.” However, the companies have released few specifics about the functional aspects or roadmap of the partnership beyond promotional language.

Industry watchers speculate the partnership could pave the way for future joint offerings or platform integrations aimed at institutional clients, a market both firms have signaled growing interest in. Oelfke previously indicated Tauro’s goal of evolving into a B2B-ready platform capable of meeting the increasingly sophisticated demands of modern brokerage clients.

DHF Capital has been on a growth trajectory in recent years. In 2024, the firm reported a record $1 billion in trading volume and executed more than 10,000 transactions. Its performance came despite global geopolitical tensions and financial market volatility conditions that Kooijman says underscore the value of a robust, multi-asset strategy.

Financial services firms actively seek opportunities in the rapidly developing Middle Eastern markets, making this partnership a likely litmus test for cross-border collaboration in the region’s competitive investment landscape.
