At KK, we see great potential in the regional private equity market and believe that well-envisioned, well-structured and wellmanaged private equity investments can offer investors superior opportunities and rates of return. With an unmatched knowledge of local markets, and a strategically-positioned network of regional and global associates, VCBank is poised to emerge as the leading regional private equity investor in the GCC and MENA regions offering investors and partners with unrivalled access to deal flow.

KK was established with a core focus on investment in undervalued and under-funded SMEs, primarily in this region, in which we aim to take majority equity positions. These include companies across multiple industry sectors that are seeking access to capital and additional technical and operational support to facilitate growth and expansion. With the right combination of expertise and resources, KK is uniquely positioned to source such investments and to take an active role in ensuring the growth and success of each portfolio company in which we invest through a hands-on management approach and effective cooperation at every level.

While the GCC and MENA regions constitute our primary markets, KK will also invest in SMEs outside of these regions where and when an opportunity exists to utilise the expertise and technologies of portfolio companies to add value and drive advancement in our primary markets of focus.
