ABOUT ARCAPITA

Since we began operations in 1997, we have created a leading international investment bank, staffed by a world-class team that sources the highest quality alternative investments from across the globe. We offer investors a diversified series of investments that target long-term returns exceeding those that conventional equity markets can offer on a consistent basis. As of December 31, 2007, we had completed 64 transactions with a transaction value of over $21 billion across our corporate, real estate, asset-based, and venture capital lines of business. We have succeeded in creating strong returns for our investors, as well as growing our net income for shareholders at a cumulative annual growth rate of over 40 percent since inception, whilst our balance sheet footing has grown to $3.6 billion.

Through our network of offices in Bahrain, London, Atlanta and Singapore, Arcapita targets economically attractive sectors and regions, has far-reaching deal sourcing networks and actively manages its corporate, real estate, asset-based and venture capital investments with highly experienced management teams and leading real estate professionals. Ever since the outset, we have invested steadfastly in Arcapita’s global footprint and we see the benefit, in the quality and diversity of the opportunities that we bring to our investors.

The backbone of the business is supported by a carefully cultivated corporate culture that encourages teamwork, innovative thinking and integrated decision making. We have continuously emphasized a focused strategy, recruiting and retaining the best people, a flat and participatory management structure, maintaining a solid capital base and effectively managing the risk in our business. The alignment of the interests of employees, shareholders and our investors has also been of great importance. We believe that these factors have driven our success, and will continue to do so in the future.
