Private Credit
NBK Capital Partners is a leading provider of flexible financing solutions to companies operating in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey regions. In 2008, we launched a pioneering NBK Capital Mezzanine Fund I with US$ 157.4 million in capital commitments and invested in 8 mezzanine debt transactions and, subsequently, successfully exited all investments. In 2016, we launched our second-generation NBK Capital Partners Mezzanine Fund II with US$ 160 million in capital commitments, and invested in 5 private credit transactions.
NBK Capital Partners Private Credit provides privately negotiated secured transactions to middle market corporate borrowers across various sectors. The proceeds of private credit financing can be applied towards growth capital, acquisition financing and buyouts, balance sheet refinancing or dividend recapitalization. We have the flexibility to invest across the capital structure through conventional or Shari'ah-compliant debt structures or hybrid securities.
NBKCP Private Credit employs a disciplined cash flow lending approach that has been honed over 11 years of credit investing in regional markets. Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns, with a focus on current income, downside protection and equity upside potential.
The Private Credit team brings together distinctive characteristics of international education and deal experience, combined with deep credit skills, restructuring experience, proprietary deal flow, and intimate local knowledge of the GCC market necessary to successfully deliver the Fund’s investment strategy. NBKCP’s proven-track record and longstanding reputation in the market make it a reliable capital source for various mid-market companies.
