Jadwa Investment Launches SAR 750m GCC-Focused Private Credit Fund
Jadwa Investment has announced the launch of its flagship private credit fund, the Jadwa GCC Diversified Private Credit Fund, with a target size of up to SAR 750 million (USD 200 million). The fund has successfully completed its first close at over SAR 300 million and has already deployed capital into partnerships with regional fintech platforms Lendo and JeelPay.
First Blind-Pool Regional Private Credit Fund
Following the launch of multiple deal-specific private credit fund structures, this marks Jadwa’s first blind-pool regional private credit vehicle. The fund offers institutional and private wealth investors access to high-quality opportunities in the GCC’s fast-growing private credit market.
Two additional investments are expected to close in the first half of 2026, demonstrating the fund’s active deployment strategy in the regional market.
Strategic Market Position and Leadership Vision
The fund reflects Jadwa’s conviction in the asset class amid Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC’s economic momentum and growing demand for credit. The platform is designed to support high-quality companies across multiple transactions throughout the region.
Private credit is increasingly becoming a strategic allocation for sophisticated investors globally. This fund reflects Jadwa’s ability to originate and execute attractive private credit opportunities.
