BlueFive Capital, an investment platform founded by Hazem Ben-Gacem, a former co-chief executive of Investcorp, launched yesterday.
The firm, which has offices in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, and London, aims to transform alternative investments in the region and globally. BlueFive Capital will focus on the GCC, Asia, and Latin America, with a focus on consolidation plays in the financial services sector and technology-driven solutions.
The platform will operate through two entities: BlueFive Financial and BlueFive Asset Management. BlueFive Financial will target investors and savers, offering a digitally-enabled platform for investment products and services across insurance, public capital markets, and wealth management. BlueFive Asset Management will invest in private equity and infrastructure, prioritising businesses that can benefit from digitisation and automation.
Mr Ben-Gacem, a veteran investor with over 30 years of experience, led Investcorp’s expansion into Asia and oversaw significant growth in assets under management.
