Our Firm
Sancta Capital is an independent alternative investment manager investing across the Middle East & North Africa, built on the conviction that the sanctity of our partners' capital and trust is our most valuable asset.
Overview
Sancta Capital employs a disciplined value investing strategy that combines rigorous due diligence with on-the-ground insight to produce superior absolute returns. Our team invests across the corporate capital structure in assets that are misunderstood or overlooked by the broader investment community, including publicly listed debt and equity securities, as well as the loans and claims of stressed and distressed borrowers. We also provide alternative financing solutions for companies underserved by traditional capital providers.
We believe that the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is one of the most attractive global investment landscapes because its capital markets are continually underinvested and mispriced. Over a 15-year track record in the region, our net returns have significantly outperformed regional and emerging-market indices on both an absolute and risk-adjusted basis.
Our strategy is concentrated, focused on absolute returns over the long term, and prioritises the preservation of capital. Sancta Capital's team utilises an active, hands-on approach to drive investments to their full valuation potential. Our principals' own capital comprises a substantial portion of the firm's invested capital, providing a strong alignment of interests that fuels our passion for investing.
Regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) and based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the firm maintains institutional grade infrastructure, including dedicated operations, finance and compliance functions, independent fund administration, and a governance framework aligned with international best practices. Our guiding principles and emphasis on strong governance reflect our conviction that disciplined stewardship extends beyond the portfolio to every aspect of the firm.
