GFH Private Equity focuses on acquiring interests in unlisted or listed businesses at prices lower than the anticipated value. By a combination of management, organisational and financial restructuring and reorganisation, GFH PE works with its management teams to fully realise the anticipated value. These transactions normally take the form of management buy-outs, acquisitions or significant re-financings led or co-led by GFH PE where investors acquire a controlling interest. GFH PE seeks to enhance the returns to its investors by the judicious use of Shari’ah compliant financial leverage.

With an aim to apply specific market skill sets the GFH PE business has been strategically split into two divisions, the first is the existing MENA Private Equity division which has been an active and selective investment manager with a clear focus on delivering above average investment returns. The second one is the recently launched European Private Equity division based in London which is focused upon delivering a flow of attractive private equity investment opportunities to GFH’s customer base across the GCC region. It will target transactions with values between £50 and £300m. This will result in investments ranging from £30m to £200m.

Some of GFH’s projects include:

Khaleeji Commercial Bank
Gulf Energy Holding Company
Gulf Holding Company
Bayan Holding Company
Balexco
