In 2007, Dragon Capital maintained and consolidated its position as the undisputed leader in Ukraine’s buoyant equity market. The firm’s dominance and unparalleled expertise has contributed to create added value and superior investment returns for an ever-growing universe of international and domestic equity investors in a market that has surged by more than 130% over the year, making Ukraine the best-performing market worldwide in 2007.

Dragon Capital accounted for almost 30% of all reported trades on the PFTS equivalent to approximately $600 million – almost twice as much as its closest competitor in this league table – while the stock market’s total turnover rose by 67% y-o-y, to $2.0 billion. More significant volumes were recorded OTC and in depositary receipts.

Building on this success, Dragon Capital has been a driving force in the IPO as well as pre-IPO and private placement activities with weighted average return in 2007 of more than 200% from its primary and secondary deals.
Capitalizing on these achievements, Dragon Capital’s multinational brokerage team is committed to providing best execution, in-depth coverage and timely trading ideas to our clients. As testimony to these achievements, in 2007 Dragon Capital was presented with the “all-time top trader” award by the PFTS for the period 1996-2006 and named as Ukraine’s most trusted brokerage house by the country’s influential business magazine Biznes.

With Ukraine set for more IPOs and great market activity and economic growth expected to be close to 7% in 2008 as in 2007, our sales team is looking forward to another year in which to excel and promote investment in the country to the world.
