The first investments have been made in partnership with regional fintech platforms Lendo and JeelPay, reflecting the fund’s focus on high-quality, growth-oriented credit opportunities. Jadwa said two additional investments are expected to close during the first half of 2026, signalling a strong near-term deployment pipeline.

Following the launch of several deal-specific private credit funds, the Jadwa GCC Diversified Private Credit Fund represents the firm’s first blind-pool regional private credit vehicle. The fund is designed to provide institutional and private wealth investors with diversified exposure to the GCC’s rapidly expanding private credit market, driven by economic diversification, infrastructure spending and rising demand for alternative financing solutions.

Commenting on the launch, Tariq Al-Sudairy, Managing Director & CEO, Jadwa Investment, said private credit is increasingly emerging as a strategic allocation for sophisticated investors worldwide. He said the new fund reflects Jadwa’s ability to originate and execute attractive private credit opportunities, as well as its conviction in the asset class amid Saudi Arabia’s economic momentum and broader growth across the GCC.

He added that the fund offers investors access to the expanding private credit market in Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, with a focus on delivering consistent risk-adjusted returns.
