In 2005, Al Arabiya Investment was established as the investment arm of Al Arabiya Real Estate Group, focusing on offering clients comprehensive access to local and international capital markets through a selection of asset management and financial services. In 2006, the investment company sought all necessary requirements to further prominence by being listed on Boursa Kuwait (formerly Kuwait Stock Exchange).

Driven by its prudent investment philosophy, innovative financial solutions, and the latest market research tools, Al Arabiya Investment rapidly gained recognition in the regional and international financial markets. During this phase in its journey, Al Arabiya Investment overcame exciting challenges and achieved new accomplishments that helped pave the way towards its mission of becoming the preferred asset management and investment banking provider in the region.

In 2008, unprecedented global economic and trading conditions resulted in a business world that has never been more difficult to predict. During this period, Al Arabiya Investment responded to exceptionally unstable market conditions through strategies designed to protect its clients and the firm’s position, as well as create a foundation for future growth. Despite fluctuating market conditions, the company maintained its strong position in a very volatile financial environment and emerged as one of the few investment companies to report an annual profit for 2008.

Since its inception, Al Arabiya Investment has been dedicated towards enhancing and building upon its innovative investment strategy by widening its offering of quality investment products and full-fledged services. The Company directed its focus to growing its portfolios and assets under management, while successfully concluding milestone transactions for key institutions in the region.
