Driven by Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030” strategy, the Saudi capital market (Tadawul) is undergoing a historic golden transformation period. From the acceleration of non-oil economic diversification, the acceleration of super strategic projects such as NEOM New City, to the intensive influx of Public Investment Fund (PIF) and global capital, the Saudi stock market has shown huge development dividends and growth resilience. In order to help investors systematically grasp the dividends of this era, Invesco, the world's top asset management institution, officially launched the "Innovation Era Academy" and specially invited Professor Muath Al-Nassar, a senior financial scholar and practical expert, to take full helm of the teaching and research work, and is committed to creating a benchmark-level practical investment education platform that is deeply rooted in Saudi Arabia and integrates international cutting-edge perspectives.
The expansion and opening up of the Saudi capital market has brought unprecedented opportunities to market participants, but it has also posed new challenges to investors' ability to judge. Faced with the rapid rotation of industries, the release of policy dividends and the intensification of market volatility in the country's economic transformation, the traditional single arbitrage thinking is no longer able to cope with complex market changes. How to understand the general direction of Saudi Arabia's macroeconomic evolution while complying with Islamic financial standards and local regulatory compliance, while also having the practical ability to keenly capture high-quality leading companies and high-growth targets, has become a core issue before every investor.
The Institute of Innovation Era came into being in response to this core need. Based on the local reality of Saudi Arabia, the college deeply integrates Invesco's institutional investment research system and strict risk control mechanism with deep roots in global asset allocation. It also leverages the profound financial academic foundation and many years of front-line transaction experience of leading expert Professor Muath Al-Nassar. Professor Muath Al-Nassar leads a professional teaching and research team to deconstruct complex institutional-level research logic, macro analysis framework and market monitoring system into easy-to-absorb knowledge paths, truly helping students to open up all aspects from theoretical understanding to transaction implementation.
In terms of planning the teaching content, Professor Muath Al-Nassar’s team closely followed the core pulse of the Saudi market to carry out systematic teaching. The course first focuses on the macro and industrial policies under Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030”, deeply dismantles the leading tracks such as new energy, advanced manufacturing, modern logistics and financial technology that are supported by the public investment fund, analyzes the industrial driving effects of large leading companies such as Saudi Aramco, and guides students to establish an overall view and accurately understand the profound impact of national strategic guidance on sector valuations and capital flows.
At the micro practical technical level, the academy combines the daily trading characteristics and market tools of the Saudi stock market to systematically teach the multi-cycle resonance application of technical indicators, including KDJ short-term turning point capture, MACD trend divergence analysis and Bollinger Band support and resistance practical cooperation. The course not only provides an in-depth analysis of the identification skills of market momentum and main capital flow, but also integrates position management, stop-profit and stop-loss strategies and trading mentality control throughout, guiding students to develop restrained and rational trading disciplines, so as to gain gains from the growth of the Saudi market while building a firm risk defense line.
Professor Muath Al-Nassar emphasized in his message to the college that Saudi Arabia’s economic rise and capital market opening are a long-term historical process, and real wealth accumulation must stem from a deep understanding of the country’s development trends and awe of trading disciplines. The Innovation Era Academy is not only a classroom that teaches practical market skills, but also a knowledge community that resonates with Saudi Arabia’s economic development.
Facing the future, the Institute of Innovation Era will rely on Invesco's global resources and the continuous empowerment of Professor Muath Al-Nassar's team to comprehensively carry out daily pre- and post-market market analysis, special seminars and market strategy salons to accompany investors in Saudi Arabia, an investment hotspot full of opportunities and vitality, and to jointly share the fruitful results of the "Vision 2030" era.
