CEO's Message

Gulf Capital was set up with a clear mission: to build the most dynamic, profitable and reputable alternative investments firm in the Gulf. We hope to achieve this goal by delivering outstanding service and value to our clients as well as unique investment opportunities and superior return to our investors across alternative asset classes.

This ambitious goal is backed by the Firm's unique attributes:
	A large initial capital of AED1.225 billion (US $330 million) positioning Gulf Capital amongst 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 (Gulf Cooperation Council). 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.
	A Board of Directors consisting of some of the leading and most respected businessmen in the Gulf with deep industry and financial expertise.
	The first and largest Industry Advisory Board, consisting of some of the leading captains of industry who bring their deep industry experience and tremendous network to benefit Gulf Capital.
	On the private equity side, a strong emphasis on creating a proprietary deal flow pipeline and an intense focus on operational improvements post-acquisition 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 work closely on the turnaround, restructuring and growth of our portfolio companies.
	On the credit business side, "Gulf Credit Partners" boasts a team of veteran professionals with international and regional experience in the credit, mezzanine and debt financing business as well as banking, structured lending, LBO financing and investment management. Our credit business plays an important role in providing much needed liquidity and growth capital to mid-market companies in the region.
	On the real estate development side, the launch of marquee mixed-used developments across the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) through our ground-breaking partnership with The Related Companies, the largest and most successful private US real estate company.
	Last but not least, Gulf Capital has assembled a formidable team of private equity, credit and real estate professionals with an unrivaled 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 Cooperation Council).

Given our large number of recently closed transactions and our increasing assets under management, Gulf Capital is increasingly being referred to as one of the largest and most dynamic alternative investments firms in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council).

We look forward to further cementing this reputation by seeking additional profitable investments for our regional and global investor base.
