Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Rajhi Invest?
Group CEO Mohamed El Samman leads day-to-day execution, reporting to a board chaired by Yazeed Bin Mohamed Al-Rajhi. The board includes Vice Chairman Badr Bin Mohamed Al-Rajhi and independent directors with deep investment banking and private equity backgrounds — Hassan Al-Jeshi (formerly SNB Capital), Mohammed AlShammasi (CEO of Derayah), and Saad Al-Saif (formerly Jadwa Investment).
How is Rajhi Invest related to Al Rajhi Bank?
Sheikh Mohammad bin Abdul Aziz Rajhi, who founded Rajhi Invest, was the brother of the founder of Al Rajhi Bank. The two entities are distinct — Rajhi Invest is the investment and industrial group for one branch of the family, while the bank is a publicly listed institution. Vice Chairman Badr Bin Mohamed Al-Rajhi previously served on the bank's board, reflecting family ties without implying operational overlap.
Does Rajhi Invest operate as a family office, a holding company, or an asset manager?
It functions as a hybrid. The firm controls a portfolio of operating companies across industrial sectors — steel, gypsum, plastics, water bottling — while also managing financial investments across public and private markets. That dual character makes it more akin to a permanent-capital vehicle than a pure family office or third-party asset manager.
What is Rajhi Invest's posture on co-investments alongside external partners?
The firm has not publicly disclosed its co-investment policy. Its board includes experienced private equity and investment banking professionals — indicating institutional-grade deal evaluation capability — but no specific co-investment programs or club-deal arrangements have been documented in public materials.
Where does the underlying wealth for Rajhi Invest come from?
The wealth originates from Sheikh Mohammad bin Abdul Aziz Rajhi, who founded the group more than sixty years ago. He was part of the Al Rajhi family, whose broader fortune stems from banking and money-changing operations that eventually produced Al Rajhi Bank — one of the world's largest Islamic banks.
