Two major players in the regional investment landscape, Investcorp and SNB Capital, have announced a strategic partnership framework designed to capitalize on investment opportunities within Saudi Arabia and internationally. The collaboration will span asset management, investment banking, and wealth management.
This new alliance aims to combine Investcorp’s global alternative investment platform with SNB Capital’s deep local market expertise and robust capabilities in investment banking and fund structuring. Together, the firms will focus on originating and executing deals across Private Equity and Real Assets.
A Strategic Alliance for Vision 2030
The partnership is strategically timed to align with the ambitious goals of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. Both firms have identified significant potential within the Kingdom, driven by strong economic fundamentals and a rapidly accelerating reform agenda.
As Saudi Arabia’s economy diversifies, sectors such as technology, logistics, healthcare, and infrastructure are experiencing significant expansion. This growth presents compelling opportunities for strategic capital deployment, which this partnership seeks to address, aiming to support the nation’s long-term economic resilience and global competitiveness.
Combining Global Reach with Local Strength
The collaboration leverages the distinct strengths of each firm. SNB Capital, as an autonomous subsidiary of the Saudi National Bank and the largest asset manager in the Kingdom, brings unparalleled local market knowledge, strong regulatory engagement, and a proven track record in structuring landmark transactions.
This local powerhouse will be complemented by Investcorp’s extensive global experience across a wide range of alternative asset classes, providing a comprehensive platform to source and manage high-value investment opportunities.
Mashaal AlJomaih, Managing Director and CEO of Investcorp Saudi Arabia Financial Investments Company, commented on the alliance: “Through our strategic partnership with SNB Capital, we are uniquely positioned together to unlock new opportunities and drive innovation across asset management, investment banking, and wealth management. Together, we look forward to delivering value to our clients while supporting Saudi Arabia’s continued growth and economic development.”
