Profile

Equity Partners (“EP”) is proud to present itself as a truly independent and professional investment advisor in the Middle East. An entity registered under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry of the State of Kuwait, EP renders value-added services to high net worth clients and the top-tier investment community in the Middle East / Gulf market, most specifically: Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE and Lebanon.

EP is owned by prominent shareholders: Sheikha Mariam Nasser Al Sabah, Sheikh Khaled Juffali (Juffali Group, Saudi Arabia), Fouzan Al Fouzan, Issa Rashed Al Issa (Chairman, Equity Partners), Khalil Michel Amiouni, CFA, CAIA (Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Equity Partners) and T. Abraham (Director & Executive Vice President, Equity Partners).

The value proposition EP affords its clients is as follows:

• TRUST - The investment community has placed a great deal of trust in our professionalism and credibility, and this is well reflected throughout our vast and diverse client base. Our client base spread throughout the Middle East includes many Institutional Investors (comprising several prominent investment houses in Private, Public and Government Sector), family offices and high net worth individuals.

• EXPERIENCE – EP is very discerning; it selects investment relationships and associates based on strict criteria and proven methodologies. The EP Executive assembles and delivers only the most select global fund managers and investment products to its clients. EP strives to offer the very best, and will only execute distribution agreements after much deliberation and careful due diligence.

• CONFIDENCE - EP’s shareholders are directly positioned in all the products that are introduced to the clients; thus, EP projects a great degree of confidence and certainty in the funds and products that it extends to its clients.

• TRANSPARENCY - All investments are conducted directly between the client and the investment manager; no client accounts will be opened or funds accepted directly by EP.

• COMMITMENT WITHOUT ADDITIONAL PRICE - Once a distribution agreement has been entered, EP will stringently monitor the individual performance of each investment on a consistent basis (pre / post investment) for its clientele. EP makes every effort to ensure that its clients absolutely receive the highest quality investment products (among various asset classes) available anywhere. EP does all the above services to the clients at no extra cost for the client as EP gets rewarded for its services from the investment managers. In short, EP ensures maximum value and accountability for the investor at no extra cost.

Equity Partners is not aligned with any one-investment banker or product manager; hence, it is in a unique position to present its clients with outstanding performers in each asset class. The EP consultants based in different countries in Middle East ensures that every client enjoys a personal attention from us, while our team member in US helps us in sourcing out the best deals from the region. The clientele of EP is diversely spread with 45% institutional investors, 35% family offices and 20% High Net Worth Individuals.

EP has specialized expertise in sourcing attractive Single Business Deals, Private Equity Deals, Fund Investment Opportunities and in providing Corporate Financing Services for its clients. These interesting deals are brought to the investors either from outside the Middle Eastern Region or from within the Middle Eastern Region. Remarkably, the recent economic boom in the Middle Eastern Region has resulted in the availability of exceptional investment opportunities from within the region.
