Strategic Drive Behind CDM Boost 2028
Under the fresh strategic agenda CDM Boost 2028, Crédit du Maroc (CDM) is accelerating the roll‑out of its investment‑banking franchise. The bank is redesigning legacy lines, launching specialist services and taking strategic equity stakes to make the division a core growth engine.
Building an Integrated, Multi‑Disciplinary Platform
In just two years CDM has assembled an end‑to‑end platform that brings together capital‑markets, brokerage, securities custody, asset‑management and advisory services. The aim is to offer clients a seamless, high‑quality suite that meets the demands of institutional investors, corporates and high‑net‑worth individuals.
Transforming Core Activities
- Trading floor: Completely re‑engineered – from organisation to processes and tools – the desk now delivers execution speed and expertise that match leading market standards.
- Securities Services: Once a back‑office function, it has been reinvented as a value‑creation hub offering high‑level custody and asset‑service solutions.
New Business Lines Created From Scratch
- CDM Capital Bourse: A fully‑operational brokerage house built from the ground up, now recognised by market participants and tightly linked to the bank’s other divisions.
- Mandate Management: Tailored portfolio‑management solutions for institutional and private‑wealth clients.
- Advisory & Alternative Investments: A dedicated team now delivers corporate‑finance advice, fundraising, M&A, restructuring and access to high‑return alternative‑investment products.
Strategic Stake in Nema Capital
CDM’s recent acquisition of a shareholding in Nema Capital – a specialist OPCI manager – broadens its expertise in real‑estate assets and adds a complementary offering for its client base.
Synergies Across the Whole Bank
The investment‑banking unit works hand‑in‑hand with CDM’s commercial banking, corporate finance and asset‑management arms. This integration enables cross‑selling of high‑value products, optimises resource utilisation and delivers a consistent client experience.
With this comprehensive suite – covering capital markets, brokerage, custody, OPCVM, OPCI, advisory, and alternative investments – Crédit du Maroc is rapidly diversifying its revenue streams and positioning itself as a reference player in Morocco’s investment‑banking landscape.
