I'm a Saudi investor considering a local company as a private equity target. I need guidance on fund structures, foreign participation limits, CMA approvals, and exit pathways, while ensuring ICV compliance and Shariah alignment.

We would need more information to address your question. For example, you ask about foreign participation limits. Do you already have a foreign investment partner in mind? Will you be investing your own capital or will you be acting as the “go between” for the foreign investor and the local investment target?

Will the foreign investor require director-level management powers during the period of investment?

I would be happy to have a confidential conversation to discuss further and to see how we may be able to help you.
