Al Safat Investment Company
Al Safat Investment Company was established in 1983 by Abdullah Hamad AlTerkait, who also co-founded AlTerkait Group for Construction. The firm operates as a Kuwait-headquartered asset manager focused on portfolio oversight and investment services rather than a single-family office structure. Its deployment spans private equity, investment banking, and asset management. Confirmed holdings include commercial real estate such as Al-Safat Tower in Hawally and industrial assets including The Blue complex in Ahmadi. Geographic exposure centers on Kuwait with additional positions in Lebanon residential properties and interests tied to Al Dhaen Group in Bahrain and Qatar. The 2023 merger with Cap Corp Investment Company consolidated these activities. The firm lists no disclosed AUM figure and maintains no public count of investment professionals. Abdullah Hamad AlTerkait serves as Vice Chairman of the Union of Investment Companies Kuwait. Philanthropic vehicles include Humanitarian Excellence Charity Collaboration and the SHIFT Program. Al Safat maintains direct ownership of operating real-estate assets alongside its investment mandates, creating a hybrid posture that blends property operations with portfolio management.
