Our investment strategy has remained consistent since our company was founded: we specialize in financing businesses that are undergoing change in capital structure, strategy, operations or growth and start ups. We target companies with a defensible core business, mature products or services, sustainable revenues, established customer relationships, and that have reached a transition point in their lifecycle presenting an opportunity for transformation. Our financial expertise and significant in-house resources allow us to be flexible in investment structure, type and size. Since our founding, we have carved out divisional assets through corporate-divestitures, partnered with family-owned businesses and management teams, grown companies through industry consolidation strategies, and have taken public companies private. This flexibility allows us to be opportunistic so we can uncover optimal investments for the benefit of the companies we invest in as well as our investment partners. Additionally, operational transformation is key to the value we create. Our in-house Operations team works exclusively with our portfolio companies and collaborates closely with management teams to establish viable operational blueprints, launch marketing and product initiatives, determine areas to invest for growth, and build stronger and better companies.

We apply a consistent investment approach across North America, Asia and Europe. The ability to invest in multiple geographies provides us with an effective platform to deploy capital across a diverse set of businesses, capture opportunities in a variety of geographic regions, and create measurable value for our investment partners and portfolio companies. At Aqaba Investment Holding Ltd we have a firm commitment to conduct our business using best industry practices and in a transparent manner while at the same time offering an unmatched access to the financial markets in the GCC. We value and cultivate relationships with significant partners such as banks, brokerage houses, audit firms, other investment companies, large family businesses and government entities.

Our partners and shareholders are at the center of our strategic approach. We seek to be the enabler and catalyst to bring together the right partners and jointly deploy our respective market access, expertise and capital to create sustainable competitive advantages. Aqaba Investment Holding Ltd is aware of the long-term impact of its investments on the environment, its host communities, partners and shareholders. We carefully evaluate each opportunity and invest as per the companies guidelines. The GCC is our geographical horizon in PE. We will deploy our capital in efficient assets, as there are more and more opportunities stemming from divestures and refocus on core business operated by many groups. With our capital development, we assist companies in developing countries, in the design and implementation of their expansion strategies.
