2009 was a year of international slowdown for the financial services industry and business community. After two years of being in a very challenging economic environment , the international economy seems to be on the road to a slow and cautious recovery.

Thus it is with a sense of pride I announce that despite all this, ADIH met its key objectives for our stakeholders. This included delivering a solid net profit and positioning ADIH as a key player for the years to come.

We were able to implement projects on budget while we began exploring new and innovative opportunities that will provide ADIH with excellent growth potential for our future. Indeed our recent Fund exits demonstrate that ADIH is able to find solutions that not only benefit investors but also represent the strength inherent of ADIH.
