Alsara Investment Group
Rachid Mohamed Rachid established Alsara Investment Group after serving as Egypt's Minister of Trade and Industry. The firm manages his private capital with a focus on building enduring positions rather than short-term trading. Alsara targets luxury brands, creative industries, and growth funds through direct co-investments, SPVs, fund-of-funds commitments, and private equity. Confirmed positions include Flow Blockchain, Starly, and ATTA. The firm has partnered with Mayhoola for Investments on Valentino and Balmain, and maintains Bidayat SA as a Mediterranean creative-brand platform. Geographic coverage spans Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Africa. The office employs an undisclosed number of professionals and operates a second location in Dubai's DIFC. Adjacent vehicles include the Bidayat Knowledge Pillar and board roles at Katara Hospitality and Lipton Teas and Infusions. Rachid Mohamed Rachid also serves on the board of Fashion Trust Arabia and participates in the World Economic Forum and BOF 500. Alsara's structure combines family capital with an operating-company relationship through Mayhoola, allowing the firm to supply both equity and management expertise to brands rather than acting solely as a passive allocator.
