What ARAM Capital does

ARAM Capital Partners LTD is a UAE-based regulated asset manager headquartered in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), authorized by FSRA under Category 3C to manage assets, manage collective investment funds, and advise on investments or credit. Founded in May 2026, the firm is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Al Ramz Corporation PJSC, a publicly listed diversified financial institution with more than 25 years of operating history across asset management, corporate finance, brokerage, market making, and sell-side research. ARAM Capital serves institutional, qualified, and high-net-worth investors across MENA and GCC markets through four product lines: CMA-regulated public funds, ADGM-based qualified investor funds, Discretionary Portfolio Mandates (DPMs), and non-discretionary investment advisory services. The firm maintains a secondary office in Dubai (Rolex Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road) and operates with a high-credentialed board drawn from BlueFive Capital and Dubai Group.

The investment engine is built on a proprietary Five-Pillar Model (Corporate Governance, Macro & Sector Outlook, Value-Driving Catalysts, Risk Modeling, Intrinsic Valuation), quantitative screening algorithms, and standardized diagnostic report frameworks designed to reduce analytical bias and ensure consistency across due diligence. A Four-Eyes Policy governs trade decisions. The investment team comprises seasoned professionals with CFA, CFTe, CMT, and FRM designations and an average of 20+ years of MENA/GCC market experience, covering equities, fixed income, real estate, and balanced strategies. Strategy scope spans UAE, GCC, and broader MENA markets including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

Revenue is generated through two streams: recurring asset management fees on AUM across CMA funds, ADGM funds, and DPMs, plus professional services advisory fees for non-discretionary mandates. Pricing is negotiated based on AUM size, mandate complexity, and investor classification and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, combining direct client engagement, regulatory-compliant fund structures, and investment advisory mandates. No revenue figures or AUM figures are publicly disclosed.
