Arcapita Compliance
In February 2007 the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association asked Sir David Walker to undertake an independent review of the adequacy of disclosure and transparency in private equity, culminating with the publication of the Walker Guidelines for Disclosure and Transparency in Private Equity. As a member of the BVCA, Arcapita is fully supportive of the motives that drove the establishment of the guidelines, and intends to conform with them.
Investment Strategy
Arcapita aims to source innovative and distinctive investment opportunities using its network of offices worldwide. With a focus on private equity, real estate, asset-based and venture capital investments, the bank maintains a broad portfolio of growth and yielding investments diversified by asset class, sector, geography and currency. Whilst it may vary considerably, the typical holding period for these investments is between 3 and 7 years. Further details of Arcapita’s investment strategy can be found here. Arcapita’s investors are principally institutional and high net worth investors based in the countries of the GCC. These do not include any UK registered investors. A full list of Arcapita’s portfolio can be found here.
UK Leadership
For the parts of the portfolio which fall under the requirements of the Walker guidelines, the two senior members of Arcapita’s management team based in the UK are: Henry Thompson, Executive Director and General Counsel and Qaisar Zaman, Executive Director, Asset-Based Investment.
Conflicts of Interest
Arcapita has appropriate measures in place to ensure that any conflicts of interest that may arise in the conduct of our investment activities are managed fairly.
