Muscat Stock Exchange creates dedicated market for investment funds
What happened
The Muscat Stock Exchange transferred six collective investment funds from its Parallel Market to a new dedicated Collective Investment Funds Market, effective October 18, 2026. The funds moved include AMAN Real Estate Fund, Oman Real Estate Fund, The Pearl Real Estate Fund, Jabal Real Estate Fund, Epicure Vision GCC Fund, and Oman Gateway Fund. This move establishes a distinct trading classification, separating these pooled investment vehicles from conventional corporate securities.
