We are a unique investment team dedicated to making a difference. With a regional mandate and global aspirations, our focus is primarily on private equity growth and buyout situations. We are sector agnostic with extensive expertise in healthcare and education sectors we believe matter the most.

We also capitalize on special situations in public equities whilst utilizing a private equity approach to due diligence and upside value monetization, and invest in niche real estate opportunities. We are an active investor committed to adding true value to businesses we invest in and to forging long-term partnerships built on trust and mutual advantage. Our reputations as individuals and as a firm are paramount. We continually apply the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and governance and we uphold our responsibility to deliver on commitments to our investors, our people, and our stakeholders.

Strategy
We are a unique and proactive investment firm focused on private equity growth and buyout situations of MENA based or related businesses. With our widespread expertise and concentrated commitment to advancing healthcare and education, we additionally invest in corporate partnerships throughout these sectors. Our mandate also includes public equity special situations that are overlooked while utilizing a private equity approach to due diligence and upside value monetization and also invests in niche real estate opportunities.

Private Equity
Being selective is an essential element to engaging in successful investments. At Ithmar Capital, we are particular about our partnerships and we maintain a resolute dedication to add real value to the companies we invest in. Although sector agnostic, we have extensive expertise in healthcare and education and select businesses that have differentiated models with an absolute focus on quality. We source these opportunities primarily through our proprietary channels where we identify companies entering an inflexion point where institutional active capital is required to fuel further growth. Our goal is to work collaboratively with exceptional management and reputed shareholders to ensure sustainable growth and competitive differentiation. We are especially proud that our involvement always proves to be transformative to the companies we invested in where we actively contribute across all aspects of governance, organization, strategy, and finance.

Public Equity Special Situations
Our strategy is opportunistic. We are sector agnostic with no market capitalization or liquidity bias. We identify opportunities through our investment team in-depth knowledge and experience in MENA listed equities coupled with a bottom up proprietary fundamental research. We target companies trading at a deep discount to earning power and replacement cost offering substantial upside to intrinsic value. However, we have to build a high conviction in the target team, strategy, competitive advantage and financial outlook. In parallel, we work to build a strong relationship with the management and align ourselves with like-minded shareholders. Our adaptable investment mandate and close-ended investment structure allows us to work collaboratively with the relevant stakeholders to implement value creation plans aimed at monetizing the upside.
