KOSEC – Kodari Securities, led by founder and CEO Michael Kodari, has officially inaugurated its Middle East headquarters in Boulevard Plaza Tower 2, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, Downtown Dubai. This strategic move underscores KOSEC’s commitment to becoming a global investment powerhouse.
Strategic Expansion into the UAE
Dubai’s emergence as a global financial hub, bridging East and West, makes it an ideal location for KOSEC’s expansion. Situated beside the Burj Khalifa and adjacent to Dubai Mall, Boulevard Plaza Tower 2 offers a prestigious address in one of the world’s most dynamic business districts. Michael Kodari emphasized that this expansion positions KOSEC to facilitate capital flows, forge new partnerships, and connect with influential investors and institutions in the region.
KOSEC’s Global Growth Vision
Founded in Sydney, KOSEC has become one of Australia’s most prominent financial services groups, renowned for its market-leading research, investment advisory, asset management, and wealth solutions.

The Middle East: A Magnet for Global Capital
The UAE has established itself as a powerhouse for trade, finance, and innovation, managing over $4 trillion in assets through regional sovereign wealth funds. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are increasingly shaping global investment trends, particularly in sectors like renewable energy, advanced technology, infrastructure, and real estate. KOSEC’s presence in Dubai enables the firm to facilitate cross-border capital flows, partner with sovereign funds and family offices, and expand research coverage to include Middle Eastern equities and infrastructure projects.
