Capital Guidance SA

We were founded more than fifty years ago by a small group of families with deep roots in the Middle East. Today, our offices and businesses extend across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and North America. Our culture is entrepreneurial, expressed in accord with high ethical standards. We seek to generate superior returns on capital for our investors and improve the lives of those with whom we work. Our people are dedicated, experienced, and expert in numerous disciplines. They are culturally diverse, speak a wide range of languages and understand the local markets in which we operate. We deploy our capital and that of investors in financial investments, real estate, and pioneering operating companies. We create new businesses, products, services, and investments through our research, imagination, experience, capital, and cross-pollination of ideas and capabilities. We provide leadership, governance, strategic counsel, executive team recruitment and development, investment analysis, and corporate development and advisory resources to the businesses we manage. We work closely with our outstanding management teams and strategic partners to grow our businesses and develop opportunities for value creation. Throughout our half-century of existence, our company has been unfailingly committed to capital preservation and development. We continue today to combine capital resources and uncommon management expertise within a global business network that retains a strong sense of community and a strong adherence to the values of integrity and teamwork. We strive always to develop enduring franchises and apply talent, creativity, innovation and professionalism to opportunities that range across borders and business sectors in developed and emerging markets. Faithful to the values established by our founding families long ago, we cultivate and honour long-term relationships and trust — with our management teams, our co-investors, and our partners. We believe that these relationships are central to our ongoing success and enable us to deliver principles, passion, and performance across cultures. We have earned the trust of customers, clients, and partners through accomplishment and by adherence to our founding principles and values: We endeavour to act with integrity and fairness, believing that this is the basis of mutual trust and the true foundation of long-term relationships. We aim to achieve the highest fiduciary standards. We strive to act with professionalism and believe that technical excellence, creativity, and sound judgment are the basis for the superior performance that we seek to achieve. We instill our values and ethical aspirations into all new businesses we launch and support them with the strengths of the entire Capital Guidance organisation.
