SHUAA Capital has developed the leading asset management and investment banking platform in the MENA region based a 40-year track record of creating value and delivering sustainable returns. The group is specialised in the niche market of high-yield sukuks and has begun to introduce green sukuks into the mix. SHUAA Capital tailors finance solutions to client needs and tends to complete transactions in the $15m range. Clients benefit from the group’s strong geographical presence, deal-driving network and extensive expertise in public and private markets, real estate, debt and investment banking. SHUAA Capital offers a comprehensive range of products and services: open- and close-ended funds, investment management and custody, bespoke discretionary portfolios, alternative debt and financing, M&A advisory and direct and co-investments. The group has operations in eight countries and a workforce of 350 employees to look after 2,000 clients and $13.1bn in AUM. SHUAA Capital’s strong balance sheet and solid fundamentals permit a “patient capital” investment approach, using its proprietary network and in-depth risk assessments to originate deals. It targets companies in the sectors of technology, shipping, insurance, financial services and real estate, then acquires controlling or minority stakes with substantial influence. Value creation forms the foundation of the group’s investment philosophy, and alignment of interests is ensured through trust and transparency. The CFI.co judging panel believes the aforementioned translates to drivers of continued and resilient growth — and announces SHUAA Capital as the 2021 global award winner for Best Sukuk Expert.
