Bupa Arabia
Bupa Arabia began operations in 1997 as a joint venture involving Nazer Group and Bupa Investments Overseas Limited. Loay Hisham Nazer founded the Nazer Group and chairs the insurer while his brother Tal Hisham Nazer holds the CEO role. The company allocates capital across term deposits and financial investments while running a direct deal program. Confirmed holdings include full ownership of Bupa Arabia for Third Party Administration, Horizon Medical Services Co, and Bupa CareConnect. Operations remain concentrated in Saudi Arabia with branch locations in Riyadh and five additional cities. Bupa Arabia reports an investment portfolio of $3.84 billion and employs a dedicated ESG Steering Committee targeting net zero by 2040. It maintains a CSR program established in 2011 that has provided free health insurance to more than 2,000 orphans. September 2025 sponsorship at Money 20/20 Middle East marked one recent operational activity. Ownership structure features a 43.25 percent stake held by Bupa Investments Overseas Limited and a 5.005 percent stake held by Nazer Group, creating a hybrid governance model between international partner and local founding family.
