Officials shine spotlight on firm's successful ventures in MENA region's PE space
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Al Masah Capital Limited (AMCL), a UAE-focused alternative asset management advisory company, hosted an interactive workshop for Imperial College London students on their most recent visit to Dubai. Delving into the private equity industry in the MENA region, Mr. Nrupaditya Singhdeo, Partner and Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Farid Rosli, Director of Private Equity at AMCL, discussed the unique opportunities offered by this particular asset class and how it has evolved together with the changing financial landscape of the region.
Bringing Al Masah's expertise into the fold, Mr. Singhdeo and Mr. Rosli each presented case studies that demonstrated the firm's successful ventures in the PE field and how certain characteristics specific to the GCC and wider Middle East have allowed this relatively young investment vehicle to flourish in the region despite economic obstacles in recent years. Since 2010, Al Masah Capital has established its name by being one of the most active deal makers in the private equity space over the last few years.
"Representing a total sovereign wealth fund of $3 trillion, 37% of which comes from the UAE alone, the MENA region's large capital pool translates to an appetite for private equity that is continuously growing. With this trend in mind, Al Masah Capital has become one of the most active firms in the private equity business due to our alternative fund management model and our focus on small-size companies with robust growth potential," Mr. Singhdeo explained to the audience.
Mr. Rosli afterwards highlighted the company's own fruitful ventures into the realms of healthcare and education through the AVIVO Group and Al Najah Education Limited, while also painting the bigger regional picture..
Due to the highly informative and interactive nature of the workshop, the students participated actively in the following Q&A session, exploring even further into the intricacies of launching and managing PE funds in the MENA region, which concluded the educational program.
