Al Masar Leasing and Investment Co

What Al Masar Leasing and Investment Co does

Al Masar Leasing & Investment Co is a privately held Kuwaiti Closed Shareholding Company established in December 2005, operating exclusively within Kuwait under the regulatory oversight of the Central Bank of Kuwait and the Capital Markets Authority. The firm maintains a paid-up capital of KD 16.05 million distributed across 160.5 million shares and operates with 11-50 employees from its headquarters at Noor Al Salhiya Tower in Kuwait City. It delivers Sharia'a compliant financial services through six core business lines: Islamic Leasing (luxury automobiles), Asset Management, Corporate Finance & Advisory, Direct Investments, IPO Services, and Real Estate Portfolio Management. Two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Priority Automobile Co. and Al Reyada United Real Estate Co. — provide dedicated operational capability for the leasing and real estate segments respectively.

The company's customer base spans high-net-worth individuals and corporate clients seeking Islamic luxury auto leasing, private and institutional real estate investors requiring property management and custody services, corporate entities requiring M&A advisory, restructuring, valuation, and IPO preparation, and investment funds seeking private placement support. Revenue is generated through recurring lease payments on luxury vehicles, asset management fees on AUM, professional advisory fees on corporate finance transactions, and property management and custody fees on real estate portfolios. Distribution is sales-led and relationship-driven, executed through direct client engagement at headquarters supplemented by the two operational subsidiaries. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured on a quote-based, engagement-by-engagement basis.

The firm is led by Chairman Jamal Abdullah Al Salem, Vice Chairman Sheikh Jaber H S Al-Sabah, CEO Talal S Al-Shehab, and CFO Tamer Abdelaty, supported by dedicated heads of compliance, operations, asset management, and corporate finance. No technology platform, proprietary systems, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed; the offering is positioned as a relationship-based, professional services business rather than a technology-enabled one. No funding rounds, M&A activity, recent product launches, or geographic expansion are recorded in the available data, indicating a stable, domestically focused operating posture since inception.
