Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Daman Investments?
Founding managing director Shehab Gargash leads the firm. Day-to-day portfolio management for regulated funds sits with an in-house investment team supervised by Gargash and senior staff. For distributed third-party funds, investment selection is handled by the respective global managers, while Daman runs due diligence and platform vetting.
How does Daman source its proprietary investment opportunities?
Daman sources regional public-equity investments through its brokerage and research infrastructure on UAE exchanges. Real estate exposure is sourced through developer relationships and structured financing deals. Third-party fund offerings are sourced through established distribution agreements with global managers such as Franklin Templeton and Schroders.
What is Daman's known posture on co-investment alongside external managers?
Daman has historically used separate-account and seeding arrangements to back global managers entering the GCC market. These are structured on a bilateral basis rather than through a formal co-investment program. Details of individual arrangements are not publicly disclosed.
