The success of Samel Investment Holding Ltd is attributed to proactively managing change whilst upholding the values of integrity, service and social responsibility. The majority of businesses, built on a portfolio of world leading brands, dominate their sectors.

Samel Investment Holding Ltd supports businesses in emerging markets by providing medium-to long-term debt financing through loans and guaranties to eligible investments. By complementing the private sector, Samel Investment Holding Ltd can provide financing in countries where conventional financial institutions often are reluctant or unable to lend. Samel Investment Holding Ltd can meet the long-term capital investment financing needs of any size business in a wide variety of industries such as information technology, oil & gas, health care, education, infrastructure, telecommunications, financial services, housing, and agribusiness. The majority of Samel Investment Holding Ltd's financing is used to cover the capital costs - such as design/engineering services, facility construction or leasehold improvements, and equipment—associated with the establishment or expansion of the foreign investment (the “project”). Samel Investment Holding Ltd can also work with financial institutions to fund the expansion of lending capacity - such as microfinance, small business lending or mortgage lending in a foreign market. If you represent a pooled investment vehicle or a non-bank financial institution seeking debt-funding, please read more about Samel Investment Holding Ltd support for these financial structures. Emaar Finance does not consider financing requests that are solely for the purpose of making an acquisition, though limited acquisition costs may be financeable if additional capital will be expended to expand or rehabilitate the investment. Samel Investment Holding Ltd does not finance stand-alone export transactions. Debt investments, which we make directly to companies and financial institutions as well as through funds, are an additional medium through which we capital. We have long adopted a flexible approach towards investing, and debt (in all forms) helps to enable us to meet a greater range of capital needs and direct capital towards opportunities with the greatest potential for job creation.
In order to invest successfully, we formulate a portfolio management process to ensure that your investments are managed as a spectrum of diversified investments rather than unrelated individual holdings. Wealth portfolio management mandate allows you to sit down with your relationship manager and define your investment policy. This investment policy defines your investment objectives (e.g. preservation of capital, risk tolerance, expected rate of return), constraints (e.g. client's values or ethics) and management style of the various asset classes contained in your portfolio. We then transform these investment policies to a tailor-made portfolio suited to your person. Our goal is to continuously add value for clients through rigorous bottom-up and top-down fundamental analysis, seeking an absolute-return driven strategy by investing in the equity markets of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). We also provide our clients access to the world of fixed income products, with the coverage starting from the basics of plain vanilla bonds and Sukuks, to reach a variety of structured products and notes across the globe. Furthermore, we maintain an extensive experience in managing money market portfolios, being one of the pioneers in the GCC region in providing such a service. The team, through well established relationships with counter-parties across the MENA region in general and U.A.E in particular, is able to provide access to lucrative money market investment opportunities.

Our
investment strategy has remained consistent for over 25 years: we
specialize in financing businesses that are undergoing change in
capital structure, strategy, operations or growth and start ups.
We target companies with a defensible core business, mature
products or services, sustainable revenues, established customer
relationships, and that have reached a transition point in their
lifecycle presenting an opportunity for transformation. Our
financial expertise and significant in-house resources allow us
to be flexible in investment structure, type and size. Since our
founding, we have carved out divisional assets through
corporate-divestitures, partnered with family-owned businesses
and management teams, grown companies through industry
consolidation strategies, and have taken public companies
private. This flexibility allows us to be opportunistic so we can
uncover optimal investments for the benefit of the companies we
invest in as well as our investment partners. Additionally,
operational transformation is key to the value we create. Our
in-house Operations team works exclusively with our portfolio
companies and collaborates closely with management teams to
establish viable operational blueprints, launch marketing and
product initiatives, determine areas to invest for growth, and
build stronger and better companies.
We apply a consistent
investment approach across North America, Asia and Europe. The
ability to invest in multiple geographies provides us with an
effective platform to deploy capital across a diverse set of
businesses, capture opportunities in a variety of geographic
regions, and create measurable value for our investment partners
and portfolio companies. At Samel Investment Holding Ltd we have a firm
commitment to conduct our business using best industry practices
and in a transparent manner while at the same time offering an
unmatched access to the financial markets in the GCC. We value
and cultivate relationships with significant partners such as
banks, brokerage houses, audit firms, other investment companies,
large family businesses and government entities.
Our
partners and shareholders are at the center of our strategic
approach. We seek to be the enabler and catalyst to bring
together the right partners and jointly deploy our respective
market access, expertise and capital to create sustainable
competitive advantages. Samel Investment Holding Ltd is aware of the long-term
impact of its investments on the environment, its host
communities, partners and shareholders. We carefully evaluate
each opportunity and invest as per the companies guidelines. The
GCC is our geographical horizon in PE. We will deploy our capital
in efficient assets, as there are more and more opportunities
stemming from divestures and refocus on core business operated by
many groups. With our capital development, we assist companies in
developing countries, in the design and implementation of their
expansion strategies.
We are guided by our client’s financial objectives but believe that solid research is fundamental to sound investment decisions. We employ teams of experienced analysts who regularly gather in-depth, first-hand information on the financial markets, and they recognize that a "one-size-fits all" approach is not optimal. We believe that an investment decision should not be made lightly. In addition to providing extensive research, our investment professionals go to great lengths to determine the difference between the fundamental value of a company and its price in the marketplace.
