Gulf Capital was set up with a clear focus: to launch the most dynamic and sophisticated investment company in the Gulf. Our 300 shareholders-partners, directors and staff all strive towards building a best-in-class institution that shines, even by international standards. This ambitious goal is backed by some concrete facts | |
- A large initial capital of AED1,225 billion ($330 million) positioning Gulf Capital among the largest and best capitalized investment companies in the Gulf
- A diversified shareholding base representing some of the most prestigious and dynamic institutions and leading businessmen in the GCC. Our shareholding is unsurpassed in its quality and breadth and boasts some of the largest pension funds, banks, insurance companies, family offices and sizeable high net worth individuals. Our shareholders are located in every single country in the Gulf, making Gulf Capital one of the first truly regional investment companies. This network of regional shareholders will be key for Gulf Capital, both from a deal sourcing and placement perspective.
- A Board of Directors consisting of some of the leading and most respected businessmen in the Gulf with deep industry and financial expertise.
- A unique Industry Advisory Board, organized by sectors, consisting of some of the leading captains of industry and scions of businesses who bring their deep industry experience and tremendous network to benefit Gulf Capital. Gulf Capital is the first regional private equity firm to launch an Industry Advisory Board, organized by sector, in the Gulf similar to the practice of the best US and European private equity firms.
- A strong focus on post-acquisition value creation for our portfolio companies. Gulf Capital is one of the first regional private equity firms to hire a dedicated team of post-acquisition specialists who will work closely on the turnaround, restructuring and growth of portfolio companies.
- A unique expertise in taking companies public and creating successful exits, both at the Board and Management levels.
- Last but not least, Gulf Capital is in the process of assembling a formidable team of investment bankers, private equity and industry professionals with unrivalled track record, global experience and prestigious academic qualifications. All of our professionals have worked at leading global institutions in major centers around the world and are united in their drive to create a new financial powerhouse in the GCC.
Gulf Capital's strategy is to seek sizeable stakes in large, profitable and visible companies with leading market share and substantial competitive advantages companies that can be exited at a substantial premium in a short time-frame.
Given the recent large transactions which we are currently closing, Gulf Capital is increasingly being referred to as one of the most active and dynamic private equity players in the GCC.
Gulf Capital is continuously cementing its reputation as the preferred investment partner in the Middle East.
