Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Rasameel?
Rasameel lists twelve professionals on its website, including Robert Aspin, Hamad Al Sheikh Musaed, and Ralph Serrao, but the firm does not publicly designate a CIO, CEO, or investment committee. Day-to-day authority is not disclosed, which is common for closed Kuwaiti shareholding companies that centralize governance in a board of directors.
What investment strategies does Rasameel run?
Rasameel runs three strategy lines: managed funds built around long-term market views, bespoke portfolio strategies including a Kuwait public-equity strategy and a Disruptive Technologies mandate, and direct real estate transactions. The real estate deals are structured through separate legal entities with a global custodian to maintain transparency and tax efficiency.
What is the recent merger between Rasameel and KFIC Invest?
In December 2024, Rasameel announced a merger with KFIC Invest, a subsidiary of Kuwait Finance and Investment Company (per the firm, December 2024). The combined entity is expected to operate under the Rasameel brand. Financial terms and post-merger AUM have not been disclosed, but the deal consolidates two Sharia-compliant investment platforms in Kuwait.
Does Rasameel disclose its assets under management?
No. Rasameel does not publish a current AUM figure. The firm discloses its authorized and paid-up capital of KD 18,026,680 at incorporation in 2006, but that is a balance-sheet figure tied to its corporate structure rather than third-party client assets or committed capital.
Are Rasameel's investment products Sharia-compliant?
Yes. Rasameel positions itself within Kuwait's Sharia-compliant investment-banking and wealth-management domain and maintains a Sharia Supervisory Board. Its funds, portfolio strategies, and real estate structures are designed to comply with Islamic finance principles.
How does Rasameel source its real estate and private-market deals?
Rasameel does not publicly describe its sourcing process, but its real estate arm structures each transaction through a separate legal entity administered by a global custodian. The firm's portfolio-strategies team says it uses macro and sector research to identify trends early and applies a valuation methodology to screening — no named deal sources, co-investors, or GP relationships are disclosed.
