The Direct Investments Group (DIG) is dedicated to managing SEDCO's private equity investments in the Middle East-North Africa (MENA) Region. Out of its offices in Dubai |
and Jeddah, the experienced DIG team seeks investment opportunities that are in line with Shari'ah guidelines and SEDCO investments criteria.
DIG is different from other regional private equity players because its investment criteria are not driven by the goal of short-medium term financial gains. Instead, DIG stays in businesses for long periods as a strategic partner with a minimum stake of 20%. DIG brings unique value. It helps management develop and improve the corporate culture of the business, bringing professional knowledge and know-how from around the globe. It assists with entry into new markets, introduction to new alliances, sourcing new suppliers, ensuring more efficient financial and risk management, and expanding and growing the business throughout the Middle East-North Africa Region including Turkey and Iran plus India, Pakistan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
Medium size private corporations (sales $100M - $250M) with superior track records and growth potential present ideal investment opportunities for DIG. We provide capital to companies to support their expansion and continued growth programs, acquisitions, and management buyouts. DIG is also on the lookout for startups, provided they are undertaken with experienced partners.
The Direct Investments Group is headed by Mr. Yousuf Khayat, who serves as the Managing Director.
