Collectively, licensed providers of regulated investment services are called investment firm licensees. Bahrain-incorporated investment firm licensees are called Bahraini investment firm licensees. Investment firm licensees that are incorporated in an overseas jurisdiction and operate via a branch presence in the Kingdom of Bahrain are called overseas investment firm licensees. The same naming convention applies to the various sub-categories of investment firms (e.g. Bahraini Category 1 investment firm, overseas Category 1 investment firm etc).
