For buyers, the subordinated debt comes with a higher coupon in comparison to senior notes. Right now, that additional cost is near record lows, with spreads reaching an all-time low of 58 bps in March. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There\u2019s also \u201cmassive demand\u201d for the instrument<\/strong> from investors willing to take on extra risk, analysts said.

The Gulf is also starting to warm up to the concept, with Abu Dhabi developer Aldar Properties raising not one, but two <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/02\/23\/aldar-locks-in-usd-1-bn-from-apollo-tightens-grip-on-income-arm\/\" style=\"\">hybrid issuances<\/a> this year. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A wider debt rush is happening over in Asia, as well<\/strong>, with hopes of an end to the war also triggering record lows in credit spreads and leading issuers to race to secure cheap financing, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-05-07\/hybrid-bond-sales-reach-record-as-companies-pounce-on-low-costs?srnd=homepage-middle-east\" style=\"\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported elsewhere. Westpac Banking issued a USD 4 bn offering, while HSBC is also preparing a USD-denominated issuance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Credit spreads tightened by 13 bps in 1Q in Asia<\/strong>, outperforming global averages of 5 bps, Bloomberg data showed. The findings indicate a vote of confidence in the fundamentals of the energy import-reliant region, amid reports of a possible ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The outlook:<\/strong> For hybrid notes, the more selective, the better, one analyst says, pointing to issuances with shorter waiting periods before the first call. For now, the flurry of activity in Europe is particularly precarious, given its exposure to energy distribution linked to the war.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mostly in the red <\/strong>as escalations between the US and Iran raise concerns over the fate of ongoing negotiations and the current ceasefire. South Korea\u2019s Kospi and Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng fell more than 1%, while Japan\u2019s Nikkei is 0.8% lower. Over on Wall Street, futures are also slipping after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq retreated from recent all-time highs yesterday. <\/p>\n<div class='stock-ticker-panel'>\n<table class='table

Their startup, Takeem, is now backed by Second Century Ventures, the strategic investment arm of the US National Association of Realtors (NAR), one of the world\u2019s largest proptech venture capital investors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>With a lengthy runway, a lean team, and incredibly fortunate timing, they\u2019re now at the peak of their growth cycle<\/strong> \u2014 thus far \u2014 with 900% growth week-on-week, as market demand skyrockets on the back of more uncertainty and cost pressures amid regional geopolitical tensions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Each week, My Morning Routine looks at <\/strong><strong>how a successful member of the community starts their day<\/strong> \u2014 and then throws in a couple of random business questions just for fun. Speaking to us this week is Rakesh, who takes us through how he and his co-founder started the business, why it\u2019s so in demand right now, and how his routine helps set him up for the day. Edited excerpts of our conversation:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>First of all, tell me the story behind Takeem. How did it start?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Rakesh Mavath:<\/strong> It came together through the combination of a tenant and a landlord. I\u2019m a co-founder who\u2019s a tenant, and my other co-founder is a landlord. I knew the frustrations from the tenant side: security deposits not being returned, having to pay in cheques, having to pay upfront rather than monthly. My co-founder had the frustrations from the landlord\u2019s point of view of chasing tenants for payments, getting 2 am maintenance-related phone calls, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">We started exploring those frustrations and speaking to people within the ecosystem, and the one thing that was clear was rent was a source of exasperation for most people in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">We didn't see renting as a zero-sum game where one person has to win and another has to lose. What we wanted was to create a solution where everyone wins. We looked at it as a first-principles model and found that the friction stems from mistrust, so we needed a product that built that trust layer for the whole rental market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>E: How do you build that trust? How does the product work? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">RV: The key product we offer is a rental guarantee, which offers protection for landlords if their tenants default. If the tenant can\u2019t pay, the landlord gets 4-6 months of their rent, depending on the reason why the tenant couldn\u2019t pay. We also include emergency maintenance cover and a direct debit offer, meaning digital payments straight into the landlord\u2019s bank account instead of the managing of cheques.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">We had to build that product from scratch, because while rental protection products are available in the UK, US, and Australia, and they're actually a core ingredient of more mature rental markets, it wasn't available here in the GCC because there was no data available publicly for defaults and delays. We had to build that to be able to convince our partners that there was a need for this product in the market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">In order to get that data, we had to do a lot of groundwork. We had to knock on the doors of family offices and asset and property managers to get a combination of public and private datasets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>E: Why did you start with B2B first? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">RV: Property managers, agencies, and family offices are the gatekeepers to the landlords. They have the information there. They are able to educate the landlord on our product, and they also are at risk when a tenant defaults. When a landlord has a tenant default, who does he blame? The agent or property manager who put the tenant in there. The landlord takes the financial risk, and the agent or property manager takes the reputational risk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">We are adding B2C now, offering the product to individual landlords, and again, it helps both parties \u2014 the tenant and the landlord \u2014 to have a guarantee in place. What we saw previously was a tenant would lose their job or get diagnosed with a critical illness and they\u2019d be forced to make the very difficult decision of paying rent or other essential expenses. With the guarantee, they both know they\u2019re covered in case of emergencies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>E: It\u2019s great timing for a product like that. Costs are rising, there\u2019s layoffs, some people left Dubai on a whim\u2026 so the rental market could see some stress. What has demand looked like in the past two months? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>RV:<\/strong> The demand for Takeem has grown exponentially. There\u2019s been a lot of job losses across the tourism, hospitality, retail, and energy sectors. Even before this situation, we had said the short-term risks in the market are affordability, job security, because we\u2019d seen some strain across low and mid-white collar industries as they optimized and increased their use of AI, and geopolitical events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">Right now, we\u2019ve seen a convergence of risks that we probably haven't seen since 2020 at both a macro and a micro level. A huge bulk of the customers we spoke to in the past year who felt this was a nice-to-have product have come back, said it\u2019s now a must-have, and signed with Takeem in the last two months. We\u2019ve seen 900% week-on-week growth in customers, and we think that\u2019s just because it was the right product at the right time, with a strong team and positioning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>E: Onto your morning routine, what does that look like on a regular day? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>RV:<\/strong>I\u2019m a very early riser. I\u2019m a morning person and I love a sunrise, so I\u2019m always up before the sunrise. I like to start my day with swimming, surfing, or running; something to get my mind set up for the rest of the day. I grew up on the ocean in Australia \u2014 the beach was 15 meters from my house \u2014 so I\u2019ve surfed ever since.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">Previously, I probably wouldn't look at anything work-related till about 7am, but now it\u2019s more like 6am. The hours are definitely longer and we\u2019re making our meetings shorter to be able to handle the pace of things right now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">Pooja\u2019s handling the tech side of things, so I don't have to worry so much about that, and for me it\u2019s usually sales meeting after sales meeting. We will talk probably twice a day to bring each other up to speed on what\u2019s happening on each of the different elements of the business. Right now I find myself working up until 10-11pm, but I love it. I just feel super excited more than anything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Rakesh\u2019s recommendations<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>What he\u2019s reading:<\/strong> I love to read both to acquire knowledge and for entertainment after a long day. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/1929-Inside-Greatest-History-Shattered\/dp\/0593296966\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1929 by Aaron Ross Sorkin<\/a> is an excellent read to help satisfy the knowledge and learning side of things, and my current read for pure entertainment purposes is a book called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/series\/309211-dungeon-crawler-carl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dungeon Crawler Carl<\/a>. I love it because there\u2019s a main character in there that\u2019s a cat \u2014 Princess Donut \u2014 and she vocalizes everything I think my own cat also thinks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Where he surfs: <\/strong>Sunset near Burj Al Arab. Nikki Beach is another good one, and there\u2019s the wave park open in Abu Dhabi, and some spots in Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>A piece of advice he has for new founders: <\/strong>Build relationships. The UAE, and the Arab world more generally, is a relationship economy. It takes time and they may not seem fruitful at the time, but they will become fruitful if they are the right relationships. In Dubai, that could also mean people in government and the regulators, whose doors are always open, which is something you don\u2019t get in many other countries.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content
