What Rakiza does

Rakiza is an Omani closed-ended infrastructure investment fund operating as a General Partnership co-managed by Oman Infrastructure Investment Management (OIM) and Equitix. It was established in 2018 to channel private capital into infrastructure assets across Oman and Saudi Arabia under a 50:50 geographic mandate, leveraging Oman's comprehensive PPP regulatory framework and sovereign backing. The fund targets core infrastructure with a brownfield emphasis and optimization potential across regulated utilities and energy from waste, telecommunications, transportation and logistics, and social infrastructure.

Rakiza's core product is Rakiza Fund I, complemented by a co-investment program that allows select investors to participate in transactions larger than the commingled fund can underwrite. The firm applies a hands-on asset management approach with commercial and technical teams executing best industry practices, and in 2026 it announced the acquisition of Majis Industrial Services SAOC (Oman's leading integrated industrial water utilities provider for SOHAR Port and Freezone) together with specialist water investor IV3 Aqua. The platform has no proprietary technology product; its competitive edge rests on regulatory access, local network, and the combined USD 100 billion-plus infrastructure investment track record of its partners.

The business model is that of a regulated, closed-ended fund manager: management fees on committed capital, potential carried interest, and selective co-investment economics. Distribution is direct and relationship-driven, targeting sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and infrastructure-focused investment managers through a dedicated Intralinks investor portal, corporate website, and earned media. Pricing and fund terms are not publicly disclosed, consistent with the institutional-only nature of the vehicle.

Scale indicators2 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Wren House Infrastructure: London-headquartered but GCC-focused infrastructure investor backed by Singapore's GIC. Comparable as a regional infrastructure peer investing across the Middle East in similar regulated-utility and brownfield assets, though anchored in the UAE.
• Mubadala Infrastructure (Mubadala Investment Company): UAE sovereign investor with active infrastructure and utilities portfolio across the GCC. Comparable as a regional peer with overlapping GCC investment geography but operating from Abu Dhabi rather than Oman/Saudi.
• Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, a major domestic infrastructure investor driving giga-project privatization and PPPs. Comparable as the dominant Saudi-side capital allocator whose agenda effectively shapes Rakiza's Saudi pipeline.

Broad incumbents

• Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners: North America-headquartered infrastructure manager with growing global reach across transport, logistics, energy, and digital infrastructure. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the core/core-plus infrastructure space pursuing similar institutional capital.
• Macquarie Asset Management (MIRA): Macquarie's infrastructure platform is a globally diversified core/core-plus infrastructure fund manager with deep GCC and emerging-markets exposure. Comparable as a broad infrastructure incumbent pursuing similar regulated-asset strategies.
• Brookfield Infrastructure Partners: One of the world's largest infrastructure investors with a global portfolio spanning utilities, transport, midstream, and digital infrastructure. Operates at vastly larger scale than Rakiza but competes for the same institutional LP capital and increasingly for GCC privatization deals.
• Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP): Major global infrastructure fund manager (now part of BlackRock) focused on energy, transport, and water infrastructure. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for large-scale brownfield infrastructure deals in emerging markets including the GCC.
• KKR Global Infrastructure: KKR's infrastructure platform invests across core and core-plus infrastructure globally with significant MENA exposure. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for institutional LP mandates and large privatization deals in the region.

Emerging players

• I Squared Capital: Independent global infrastructure fund manager focused on mid-market energy, utilities, and transport in the Americas, Asia, and EMEA. Comparable as a focused infrastructure manager with similar sector mix but at a smaller scale than mega-platforms.

Direct peers

• Equitix: UK/Europe-based core infrastructure fund manager and Rakiza's 50:50 co-GP. Operates the same core-infrastructure fund management model with similar regulated-utility and brownfield focus, making it the most directly comparable peer.
