of relationships in the MENA region and capitalise on the wide range of attractive investment opportunities in one of the world’s most exciting emerging markets.

Since 2005, USD 1 billion has been deployed for Swicorp private equity initiatives, primarily from investors based in the Middle East. Our investor base has widened to include development finance institutions, such as the International Finance Corporation (a member of the World Bank Group), the European Investment Bank and Proparco (Agence Française

de Développement), that wish to support the economic development of the region.

Swicorp currently manages several pan-regional Private Equity funds, each with a distinct sector focus, and is extending its geographic scope to Sub-Saharan Africa.

Swicorp has also established a syndicated transactions platform that leverages Swicorp’s network and on-the-ground presence to identify investment opportunities that will be presented to like-minded investors on a deal-by-deal basis. In order to fully align interests, Swicorp commits its own capital alongside that of co-investors for each individual transaction.
