Majd Investment

What Majd Investment does

Majd Investment Company is a privately held Saudi investment firm headquartered in Dammam that serves as the dedicated investment arm of the Al Majdouie family, managing diversified wealth across private equity, marketable securities, and real estate in compliance with Islamic Shariah principles. The firm's roots trace to Al Majdouie Group, founded in 1965 by Sheikh Ali Al Majdouie, with multi-generational family governance now led by Chairman Abdullah Ali Al Majdouie and Executive Vice Chairman Ibrahim Ali Al Majdouie. Core product lines include direct and indirect private equity investments in MENA companies, public equity and Shariah-compliant fixed income (sukuks), and direct and indirect real estate exposure spanning residential, commercial, mixed-use, industrial, and logistics assets.

Beyond capital deployment, Majd Investment operates a portfolio of wholly-owned operating subsidiaries including Arsal Facility Management, the Majd Square mixed-use complex (Courtyard by Marriott hotel, office tower, retail, and Karawan residential village in Jubail), and maintains minority strategic stakes such as the 25% holding in Yelo car rental (90+ branches across KSA, UAE, and Egypt). Recent activity emphasizes institutional-grade partnerships — a SAR ~500 million joint venture with SEEF Properties in Dammam (November 2024), a Microsoft digital agreement (2024), and a Saudi Railways MoU — alongside venture capital exposure via Raed Ventures (Noon Academy, Foodics, Mrsool, Trella, 525k).

The revenue model blends capital gains and dividends from securities and PE holdings, rental income from owned real estate, operating income from subsidiaries (facility management, hospitality, car rental), and co-investment returns from strategic alliances. Go-to-market relies on direct relationship management with the Al Majdouie family as primary principal, co-investors, and strategic partners, complemented by fund-manager partnerships for indirect investments. The firm holds no external institutional funding and discloses no revenue, making it a privately capitalized, Shariah-compliant family investment platform rather than an externally scaled asset manager.

Direct peers

• Kingdom Holding Company: Saudi family-owned investment company (Tadawul-listed) managing diversified holdings across hospitality, real estate, PE, and listed securities. Closest publicly-tracked parallel to Majd as a single-family principal deploying capital across multiple asset classes in Saudi Arabia and globally.
• SEDCO Holding: Saudi family-owned holding company managing Shariah-compliant wealth across PE, real estate, and marketable securities globally. Highly comparable to Majd on mandate scope, religious-compliance orientation, and multi-generational family stewardship model.
• Olayan Financing Company: Saudi family-owned conglomerate with a dedicated investment arm operating across PE, real estate, and listed securities across MENA. Comparable scale, multi-decade family stewardship, and diversified asset-class mandate akin to Majd.

Regional players

• Wafra International Investment Company: Kuwait-based family/principal investment firm managing global PE, real estate, and alternatives portfolios. Comparable as a GCC single-family investment platform with international diversification, though focused on different geographies.
• SHUAA Capital: UAE-listed diversified investment firm operating across asset management, PE, real estate, and capital markets with Shariah-compliant capabilities. Comparable business mix and GCC positioning; differs by being publicly listed and partially institutionally owned.
• Gulf Capital: Abu Dhabi-based private equity and alternatives manager operating across the GCC with Shariah-compliant capabilities. Comparable PE and growth-investment mandate in the same regional ecosystem, though based in UAE rather than Saudi Arabia.

Emerging players

• Jadwa Investment: Saudi investment management firm offering Shariah-compliant PE, real estate, and public-market products to institutional and family-office clients. Comparable in mandate but competes as a third-party manager rather than a principal family office.

Broad incumbents

• Al Rajhi Capital: Investment banking and asset management arm of Al Rajhi Bank, offering Shariah-compliant brokerage, asset management, and PE in Saudi Arabia. Broader incumbent with bank-distribution scale; overlaps on Shariah-compliant investment offerings.
