SOKOTRA Capital enjoys long-standing relationships with various key institutional investors and family offices throughout the Europe, Middle East and Africa who are willing to co-invest with SOKOTRA Capital in the focus geographies and sectors. This gives SOKOTRA Capital unique access to a significant pool of capital which can be deployed, when and if needed, on its selected investment opportunities.

FLEXIBILITY

As a private investment company, SOKOTRA Capital is not subject to any of the constraints applicable to traditional private equity firms. Although guided by an overriding vision and investment philosophy, the company retains the ability and the flexibility to adapt and evolve with the needs of its shareholders, its co-investors and the ever-changing conditions of the global and regional markets.

EXPERTISE

SOKOTRA Capital's core financial team is composed of highly experienced individuals with Private Equity and Investment Banking backgrounds.

Within these markets, SOKOTRA Capital will primarily concentrate on the Agriculture & Aquaculture; Food: Manufacturing, Processing & Retail; and Hospitality & Non-Food Retail sectors. SOKOTRA Capital also opportunistically pursues interesting transactions in other sectors, as and when these opportunities arise.
