ABOUT ARCAPITA |
CEO MESSAGE Arcapita began operations in 1997, and since then, our focus has been on creating a leading international investment bank, resourced to originate the highest quality alternative investments from across the globe. We offer investors a diversified portfolio of investments that target long-term returns exceeding those that conventional equity markets can offer on a consistent basis. As of June 30, 2010, we had completed 71 transactions with a transaction value of over $28 billion across our private equity, real estate, infrastructure and venture capital lines of business. The bank's balance sheet includes over $4 billion in equity investments and $400 million in financing investments. Overall, the balance sheet footing of the bank has grown steadily to reach $3.5 billion. From the outset, we have invested in a global footprint that now consists of offices in Bahrain, London, Atlanta and Singapore. This footprint has supported the establishment of far-reaching deal sourcing networks through which we are able to target attractive investment opportunities in our chosen investment sectors, adapting our regional exposure according to prevailing economic conditions. We have successfully built a widely respected brand which enjoys strong loyalty, achieved through a track record of delivering attractive returns to investors and shareholders. The backbone of the business is supported by a carefully cultivated corporate culture that encourages teamwork, innovative thinking and integrated decision making. Arcapita's ability to address and overcome the challenges encountered over the last two fiscal years is testament to the resilience of the organization we have built. We have continuously emphasized a focused strategy, recruiting and retaining the best people, and a flat and participatory management structure. Of equal importance is ensuring the close alignment of the interests of employees, shareholders and investors, and we believe that these factors have driven our success, and will continue to do so in the future.
