Manoj Prasad, Executive Vice Chairman & CEO of Que Capital Limited – Investment Banking & Legacy Planning Advisory firm regulated by DFSA headquartered in Dubai International Financial Centre
What strikes you most, as you enter the office of the Executive Vice Chairman & CEO of a successful investment banking firm in DIFC, is his unassuming, simple and down-to-earth demeanor. It is no wonder then why blue-chip corporates and ultra high-net worth individuals trust the advice of this man and his company for investing their billions. Meet Manoj Prasad, the jovial, charismatic yet astute and knowledgeable man behind the relatively new but highly successful Que Capital Limited. Manoj boasts an illustrious 15-year career in investment banking and wealth management business with some of the most reputed names in the financial world. HSBC, Barclays Capital and then Morgan Stanley & Co., Manoj’s rise has been spectacular to say the least. “I am an accidental banker”, says Manoj, disarming you with his honesty. But the cornerstone of his ‘success mantra’, as he likes to call it, has been holistic positivity, about himself and everyone he interacts with, as well as a passionate obsession with building and maintaining honest relationships, without any business interest. This has led to a global network of clients and business associates, that he has carried with him, through ups and downs, thick and thin, over a period of more than 15 years.
Where the economic recession brought chaos and left financial and emotional destruction in its wake for many, for some it was the birthing ground of dreams unrealized and potential untapped. Que Capital is one such perfect example. Set-up post the economic recession in 2013, Que Capital Limited is the brainchild of Manoj, who left a covetable job in investment banking, to explore the unchartered world of investment entrepreneurship himself. “When the recession hit in 2008/9, it created a temporary slackening in the investment landscape globally. With growing sensitivities and anxieties in the market, and the depressed economic sentiment, the financial sector also took a harsh beating. However, I was confident of the global markets capability to bounce back, as well as of my skill in financial management. So this is the time he decided to realize his childhood dream of entrepreneurship, and take the plunge and started to conceptualize Que Capital Limited.
