Investment Philosophy

فلسفة الاستثمار

01

Long-Term Horizon

الأفق طويل الأمد

We operate with a 7–10 year investment horizon, aligned with institutional LP expectations and the capital cycle of private markets across the GCC.

Our patient capital approach allows us to look past short-term market volatility and focus on fundamental value creation through strategic and operational improvements.

02

Active Partnership

الشراكة الفعّالة

We work closely with management teams to drive operational and strategic value, leveraging our regional network, sector expertise, and governance frameworks.

As an active LP and direct investor, we take board seats, provide strategic guidance, and connect portfolio companies with regional distribution networks and government relationships.

03

Shari'a Integration

الامتثال الشرعي

Every investment is structured to be Shari'a-compliant from inception, overseen by our internal Shari'a Supervisory Board and independently certified annually.

We use Mudaraba, Musharaka, and Wakala structures for both direct investments and fund commitments, ensuring complete Shari'a integrity across our PE/VC portfolio.

Shari'a-Compliant PE/VC Framework

إطار الاستثمار المتوافق مع أحكام الشريعة الإسلامية

All private equity and venture capital investments are structured in accordance with Islamic principles, overseen by our internal Shari'a Supervisory Board. We use Shari'a-compliant structures such as Mudaraba, Musharaka, and Wakala for direct investments and fund commitments.

Our screening process includes:

  • Business activity screening — sector exclusion (interest-based finance, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, entertainment)

  • Financial structure review — debt levels, interest income, and liquidity ratios assessed against Shari'a thresholds

  • Contractual structure approval — Shari'a-compliant partnership or financing structures (Mudaraba, Musharaka, Wakala)

  • Annual Shari'a compliance certificate for each fund and direct investment
